Backpacking Golden Ears Peak and staying overnight at Golden Ears Panorama Ridge.
I am so grateful to live in Vancouver. Being able to experience mountains like this, less than an hour away, never gets old.
I joined the Baekdu Hiking Club for this trip and had a blast hiking, camping, and sharing the experience with a great group of people.
Beautiful views, a challenging climb, and a memorable weekend in the mountains.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to co-host a seminar with lawyer Sunnie Chung, sponsored by and .
Sunnie shared valuable insights on wills and estate planning, while I discussed reverse mortgages and how homeowners can use their home equity as part of their overall retirement strategy.
It was a great opportunity to have an open conversation about planning for the future and making informed decisions around both estate planning and home equity.

5Peaks Cypress Mountain
Enduro Run • 11 km • 744 m of elevation gain
I was a little worried about my hamstring going into this race, but I made it to the finish line. The trails were wet from the rain, but it actually worked in my favor by keeping the temperature cool throughout the run.

Grateful to finish healthy. If my body cooperates, I will definitely be back next year.

Last week was a great one on the golf course. ⛳

I had the opportunity to attend two fantastic events: the Sagen Golf Tournament and the Fun in the Sun Golf Tournament hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade

A big thank you to from  and from Scotiabank for the invitations.

Beyond enjoying a couple of great rounds of golf, I had the chance to connect with many talented professionals, build new relationships, and share ideas with people from a wide range of industries.

One of the things I enjoy most about being a mortgage broker is the opportunity to meet incredible people and be part of such a supportive business community.

Looking forward to the next event!

You bought your first home. What is next?

Congratulations on your first home! Now that you have settled in, it is time to turn your home equity into long-term wealth.

Once the boxes are unpacked, here is how to level up your finances:

• Audit your budget: Adjust for new costs like property taxes and strata fees to ensure you have a positive cash flow.

• Choose your path: Use your surplus to either pay down your mortgage faster or start investing.

• Smart options: Consider contributing to an RESP for education, a TFSA for mid-term goals, or an RRSP for retirement.

• Scale up: Once you have built enough equity, you may even be ready to consider an investment property.

Building a strong foundation now sets the stage for future financial freedom.
If you have questions about your next steps, feel free to reach out. Let’s discuss a solution based on your individual situation.

The Bank of Canada held its benchmark rate at 2.25%, as inflation remains near target and is expected to ease after a short-term rise, while economic growth stays modest amid ongoing global trade uncertainty. With policy now seen as “at the right level,” the Bank is shifting toward a data-dependent approach heading into 2026.
