Our leadership team from BC, Alberta and Ontario is here for the conference.

No pressure and no pitch. Just a conversation about your business and where you want to take it.

Send us a message and we'll set up a time.

Find the Right Answers Faster with Brain MB 🧠

"That's really what this tool is, immediate feedback from a question on something that maybe they're stuck on."

This week on The Mortgage Broker Podcast, Dean and Jason dive into Brain MB, ABW's free, game-changing AI tool that's transforming how Canadian brokers work, allowing them to navigate complex lender policies without interrupting busy colleagues or digging through dense broker kits.

Dean & Jason discuss:

→ The 5 recurring trends among ABW brokers using Brain MB, including rental income and properties, non-standardized properties, rate shopping, self-employed income, and different mortgage types.

→ How Brain MB works by citing policies from 72 different lenders when giving answers to prompts, but why you always need to verify recommendations against actual lender guidelines and with BDMs before presenting to clients.

→ How Brain MB flags policy conflicts, suggests alternative lenders when files are declined, and surfaces current rates with daily verification.

→ How to correctly ask Brain MB questions and tips for using AI, the common push-back from skeptics, and how Brain MB will continue to grow within ABW.

Big thanks to Vault Credit and Manulife for this week’s Lender Meeting presentations!

Vault Credit highlighted their flexible near-B lending solutions, including fast commitments, streamlined documentation, competitive alternatives to private lending, and options for bridge financing and construction loan payouts. They also introduced their unsecured business working capital program, creating more opportunities for brokers to help clients.

Manulife walked us through their Manulife One and Manulife Select mortgage solutions, showcasing flexible HELOC structures, cash flow management strategies, prepayment options, and key underwriting guidelines to help brokers better position these products for their clients.

Another great Tuesday session packed with practical insights and innovative lending solutions to help our brokers get more deals done!

Strive's Future Growth: This Untapped Opportunity 🚰

"It's hard to continue to think about how we grow wihtout being able to participate in that segment."

This week on The Mortgage Broker Podcast, Deryk & Jason are joined by Steve Kissuk.

Steve is a Co-Founder and the Chief Credit Officer of Strive Capital, which has become a top 3 non-bank lender in Canada within their first 5 years of business.

Founded in March of 2021, Strive Capital Corporation is a trusted CMHC approved Canadian mortgage lender based in Toronto, Ontario, with a primary focus on originating residential mortgages. Offering both prime and alternative lending solutions, Strive is known for their exclusive broker partnerships and their very practical approach to lending.

Steve is here to discuss:

→ Going all-in and co-founding Strive and how they developed a healthy partnership among the co-owners.

→ How how they build their team as a start-up, what they do for internal development, and how they created a shared company vision.

→ How Strive was able to gain the trust of brokers through building deliberate relationships & partnerships, what a well-packaged deal looks like, and the situations where a broker shouldn't try Strive.

→ Strive's practical approach to files and using niche products as the pipeline to bigger relationships with clients and an additional borrower type they are looking to serve in the future.

→ How the first 2 years of Strive's alternative product, Aspire, have gone and why you don't always need an exit strategy for an alt file.

→ How AI in the next 2 years will change the mortgage industry more than the last 15, current market trends, and when the market will bounce back.

Most files are won or lost in the first conversation, before a rate is ever quoted.

Wednesday, October 21, 10–11 AM PT. Dean Lawton, Deryk Williamson and Jason Marshall break down the discovery call that turns an inquiry into a committed client — straight from ABW's Summer Masterminds.

The questions that surface the real goal. How to set the agenda so you lead the file. How to close the call with a next step the client has already agreed to.
