TORONTO, January 23, 2019 - Canada's undisputed #1 originator, M3 today announced an exclusive agreement with Purplebricks Canada (Formerly ComFree) in Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec (under the DuProprio brand) that unites the strengths of each organization, and marks a game changer for mortgage brokers and buyers to assess their purchasing power in today's highly competitive home equity ecosystem.
The partnership will provide customers a uniquely seamless and integrated experience via the originator's industry-leading real-time, pre-qualification tool on Purplebricks Canada's web assets.

- Bold, new, relevant and deeper connections with customers
- Differentiated value for M3's 6000+ brokers across 5 mortgage brands
