Today the family got together with our lovely lender partners for a day of learning and motivation. It's always a good time when we get together! I am so happy to be part of such a down to earth, supportive and nurturing brokerage.

Sometimes financing gets messy. There are roadblocks, extra steps, and moments where most people would give up. But around here, we shake it off, regroup, and keep looking for solutions.

I recently had the pleasure of helping a lovely young man, just 21 years old, one year out of trade school get approved for his very first home with 2% down. He put in the work all by himself, had grit and met every challenge head-on as it came up.

This one took teamwork, creativity, and persistence:

• Finding ways to make the numbers work;
• Paying down debt;
• Lowering a credit card limit; and
• Negotiating $15,000 off the purchase price.

That’s something I’ll always stand by in this business. If there’s a responsible way to make something happen, I’m going to work hard to find it. And if the timing isn’t right yet, we make a plan to get there in the future. I'll be in your corner every step of the way.

Huge congratulations to L.W. You earned this one and your future looks bright!

Sometimes it’s not about fitting the box, it’s about finding the right one! 📦

My client went through a very difficult and unexpected life event that understandably caused things to fall off track for a period of time. As a result, there were a handful of collections that didn’t reflect who she truly is or how she manages her life.

But what she did next is what matters most.

She went back to school, built a strong career, paid everything off, and put in the work to rebuild her credit the right way.

On paper, she did everything she was supposed to do.

And still…we hit roadblocks. Declines, escalations, re-reviews, over and over again. A lot of places said no.

But we didn’t stop until we found the right fit, and today, her mortgage funded and closed.

She is officially a homeowner and stepping into a fresh new chapter.

Congratulations, J. Your resilience doesn’t go unnoticed, and this one was so well deserved. 🤍

Snowboarding and mortgages have something in common. The right setup makes the ride a lot smoother. The wrong one? You’ll feel every bump.

Just like snowboarding, if you’re not set up with the right mortgage professional, the journey to home ownership can get pretty bumpy. I’m here to make sure your ride is smooth, your line is clear, and you can actually enjoy the view along the way.

Because whether it’s hitting the slopes or hitting your dream home, having the right guide makes all the difference.

🍀 Lucky Strikes for a great cause 🎳

Yesterday I had the best time bowling to Strike Out Cancer with an incredible group from the mortgage industry. Rocking our green sequins, hats, and glasses, Team Strive, aka the Lucky Strikes showed up ready to have fun and give back.

Together, this fundraiser raised over $80,000 for cancer support. When the mortgage industry comes together, we don’t do small - we go BIG.

A big thank you to Strive for sponsoring the event and for the invite. I am so grateful to be part of an industry that truly shows up for its community.

This month I’m taking part in Strike Out Cancer, a Canada-wide mortgage industry bowling fundraiser, on team Striving for Strikes, with Strive Capital.

I lost my mom to liver cancer when I was 20. We had just three months from diagnosis with her. Three months to try to wrap our heads around losing the person who had always been there and been the family rock. She was my best friend, my safe place, and my biggest cheerleader.

🏡 She never got to see me buy my first home.
💍 She won’t be there when I walk down the aisle.
🍼 She never got to meet my son, and she would have been an absolute amazing nanny.

To help raise awareness and hopefully help other families get more time, for every mortgage application submitted to me in February, I’ll personally donate $50 to the Strike Out Cancer fundraiser. No pressure, just one small way I can give back while doing the work I love.

If you’re able to donate or share, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Any amount truly helps. 🧡

Thank you for helping me honour her.

(100% of bowling registration fees and donations are passed back to the local cancer research charities.)

🐾 Loki’s Tip of the Day ❄️

Don’t just sit, stay, and hope your real estate plans work out. That’s a pretty ruff strategy.

This seasoned Aussie has been around the block more than a few times with purchases, renewals, and refinances. His advice? It pays to paws and plan ahead. Reaching out early lets us sniff out any issues, tackle them head on, and put a solid plan in place before they turn into obstacles.

That kind of prep can make all the difference in an approval. Work with a professional who’s willing to help you fetch the right strategy and set you up for success. 🏡🐶

Less surprises. More tail wags. ✨
