Sebastian Skibinski is a licensed mortgage broker in Scarborough with over 10 years of experience and access to 50+ lenders spanning A-side, B-side, and private lending. From detached family homes in Agincourt to commercial plazas along Kingston Road and investment properties near the Scarborough Bluffs, Sebastian provides mortgage solutions built around the specific needs of Scarborough buyers and investors.
Scarborough’s residential market spans post-war bungalows, large detached homes, townhouses, and a growing supply of purpose-built rental and condo units. Sebastian provides residential mortgage solutions for purchases, renewals, and refinancing across all Scarborough neighbourhoods. For buyers purchasing with less than 20% down, the CMHC mortgage insurance program applies, and Sebastian explains the cost and qualification requirements at the first consultation so buyers understand the full picture before making offers. Explore the full range of mortgage services available to Scarborough buyers and homeowners.
Scarborough has a significant commercial property base including retail plazas, industrial units near the 401, and mixed-use buildings along major corridors. Sebastian provides commercial mortgage financing for acquisitions and refinancing in Scarborough and surrounding areas.
Scarborough has a high number of buyers who fall outside A-lender qualification criteria due to bruised credit, non-traditional income, or limited credit history. B-side and private lenders offer an alternative path with flexible underwriting and common-sense policies. Sebastian builds a documented improvement plan alongside every alternative lending file. Visit the mortgage services page for a complete overview of the lending tiers Sebastian works across and when each one is the right fit for your Scarborough file.
Many Scarborough residents run small businesses, hold contracts, or earn through corporations, and standard bank qualification does not accommodate these income structures. Sebastian works with lenders who use alternative income verification to qualify self-employed professionals and business owners at terms that reflect their actual financial position. Visit the self-employed mortgage services page for a complete breakdown of how Sebastian structures applications for incorporated professionals and business owners in the Scarborough market.
Scarborough is one of the most accessible entry points into the GTA property market for first-time buyers, and Sebastian helps first-time homebuyers navigate every part of the process, from pre-approval and CMHC insurance to closing cost planning and the final application. Visit the first-time buyer services page for a complete overview of how Sebastian supports first-time buyers in Scarborough from the earliest planning stage through to closing day.

Visit the how it works page for a stage-by-stage breakdown of what each step involves and what you need to have ready.
Sebastian works with clients across all Scarborough communities, including Agincourt, Wexford, Cliffside, Scarborough Bluffs, Malvern, Morningside, Kingston Road corridor, L’Amoreaux, and Steeles-Tam O’Shanter. Property types range from post-war bungalows and semi-detached homes to newer townhouse developments and commercial plazas along the major corridors.
Scarborough’s market is shaped by its proximity to Highway 401, the ongoing Eglinton Crosstown LRT extension into the area, and school district demand in pockets near high-performing public and Catholic schools. Changes to the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate directly affect affordability calculations for buyers already stretching to enter the market. Visit the resources page for tools and guides that help Scarborough buyers model their purchasing power and payment obligations before committing to a property search.
Sebastian also serves clients in Downtown Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, and East York.
Scarborough presents mortgage characteristics that distinguish it from other parts of Toronto:
Scarborough offers some of the most accessible entry points into GTA ownership, attracting a high volume of first-time buyers and investors seeking cash-flow-positive properties at lower price points than the city core. Sebastian works frequently with buyers at this end of the market. Visit the first-time buyer services page to see how Sebastian helps buyers enter the Scarborough market with the right mortgage structure from the start.
The combination of diverse income structures, newcomer buyers, and self-employed residents means alternative lending is a significant part of the Scarborough mortgage landscape. Sebastian's experience with B-side and private lending is directly relevant here.
Scarborough's comparatively lower property values relative to the rest of Toronto make it attractive for investors seeking positive cash flow. Sebastian helps investors structure these purchases through the most effective ownership and financing arrangement. Visit the investor mortgage services page for a breakdown of how investment property financing works for Scarborough buyers and what lenders look for in these files.
Many long-term Scarborough homeowners are reaching renewal periods on mortgages originally secured at very different rate environments. Navigating renewal strategically, including whether to switch lenders, can have a significant impact on monthly carrying costs. Visit the renewals services page for guidance on how Sebastian evaluates the full cost-benefit of staying with your lender versus switching at renewal.
Scarborough’s mortgage market is more complex than its reputation as an entry-level market might suggest. The diversity of buyer profiles, the range of property types, and the volume of alternative lending files all require an advisor with genuine expertise across the full spectrum of lending options available in Ontario.
