Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about me! I achieved my Business degree from SFU concentrating in Finance and Economics and have worked in different major Canadian financial institutions helping clients fulfill their financial goals since 2006. Working as a Mortgage Professional, my role allows me to share my knowledge on the real estate market and advise people through one of the largest investments of their lives. My approach is to strategize and execute a plan to help clients get the most out of lenders and government incentive programs. When I'm not in the office, I am a proud supporter of the BC Women's Hospital + Health Center Foundation. I also love volunteering at my local church and spending quality time with my wife and young daughter.

Back to school season… and apparently I had my career path figured out VERY early. 😂

Soccer?
Math?
Mortgage Broker? Obviously.

While the other kids were thinking about becoming astronauts and superheroes, little me was apparently already thinking about rates, approvals and helping people buy homes.

Some kids brought crayons to school. I brought pre-approvals. 😂

Happy back-to-school season!

Unfortunately, I really do love what I do. 😂

Finding solutions, celebrating approvals, and helping people make some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

That’s what makes it all worth it. 🏡

A Vancouver home for $150K sounds like a dream… until you see the mortgage rate. 😳

Welcome to 1981. 📼

The average residential sale price in Greater Vancouver was around $148,860, while 5-year fixed mortgage rates climbed to around 20.54%. Canadian mortgage rates even hit a record 21.75% that year.

So yes, home prices looked VERY different.

But so did the cost of borrowing.

It’s a good reminder that comparing housing markets across generations isn't as simple as comparing the price on the listing.

Home prices, mortgage rates, income, qualification rules and the broader economy all shape affordability.

Now for the debate 👀

Would you rather buy at 1981 Vancouver prices with 20%+ mortgage rates, or buy in today's market?

What keeps me motivated as a mortgage broker?

It’s not just about mortgages, rates, or approvals.

It’s the trust my clients place in me. It’s knowing that the work I do can help someone take an important step forward, create new opportunities, or finally get the keys to a place they can call home.

Every client has a different story, a different goal, and a different path to get there.

Being able to be part of that journey is what keeps me going every day. 🏡

“This mortgage broker is SO cringe.”

Also them:
“But… I kinda want to work with him.” 😂

Cringe gets the views. Good mortgage advice gets the clients.

I’ll take both.

“This mortgage broker is SO cringe.”

Correct. And yet, here you are watching. 😂

Might as well stick around for the mortgage tips too.

The Bank of Canada has officially decided to hold the bank prime rate at 4.45%🏛️

The decision may have been expected, but the economic picture is anything but quiet.

Inflation is hovering around 3%, energy prices remain elevated, and renewed US tariffs and Canadian counter-measures are adding another layer of uncertainty. At the same time, Canada’s economy showed stronger growth in Q2 and the labour market has improved.

For homeowners and buyers, a rate hold past 120 days doesn’t necessarily mean mortgage rates will stay exactly where they are. Fixed rates are influenced by bond yields, and those have been moving higher.

The next Bank of Canada announcement is scheduled for October 28.

Wondering what today’s decision means for your mortgage, renewal or home-buying plans? Let’s talk. Book a call with me through the link in my bio.

I’m not talking to myself… I’m just having a very important meeting with my favorite client. 😂

Not every file closes. Not every client says yes. Not every deal goes according to plan.

And that’s part of the job.

Some of the most challenging files have taught me the most about problem solving, communication and finding solutions when the obvious answer isn’t there.

The wins feel great, but the setbacks make you better.

So if something didn’t work out today...

Congrats. I'm still moving forward. 👊
