Rob McLister,
Rob McLister has been informing mortgage consumers and professionals since 2007. In that time, he's written more than 2,500 mortgage stories for publications ranging from the Globe and Mail where he presently serves as mortgage columnist to the National Post, Macleans, Canadian Mortgage Trends and RateSpy.com. Regularly quoted throughout the media, Rob is a committed advocate of greater transparency in the mortgage industry. He's also been a vocal consumer advocate for more sensible mortgage regulation. In 2011, he launched two mortgage fintechs: mortgage comparison website RateSpy.com and digital mortgage broker intelliMortgage Inc. The former is the go-to source of Canadian mortgage news and the only site comparing all publicly advertised prime mortgage rates. The latter is Canada's leading online mortgage provider for self-directed borrowers. Both companies were acquired in 2019 by Rates.ca Group Ltd.
