Mission is simple: empower entrepreneurs like you with the tools & knowledge needed to thrive in today's competitive landscape. Small business was my life and continues to be my passion - mortgage advise is a tool I have been taught and it has allowed me to help my peers. How did a shop owner start offering mortgage advice? Let me tell you...
When stuck in my "closed" shop during the third-lock d
own, there was a knock at the door. (Okay so it was more like a text message - but I'm telling a story here!)
"Cris would you be interested in a mobile mortgage position? We need someone just like you!"
I didn't jump at it. I really had to think about it, because anyone who knows me, knows I always have a project or community initiative on the go. "Does offering mortgage advice make sense for me?"
Could I continue to work with my small business community & clients? Could it complement my small business mentorship? Will I still be able to do all my volunteer work? Could it help me with my commercial property ownership goals? I know most people skim, and do not read everything, so I won't go on - I'll make a short video one day and share my journey ;)
But if you did get this far, hopefully you will understand how my desire to help my community and ensure small businesses stay open and can sustain themselves, was greatly supported by learning how to lend and credit plan. Mortgage advice is a very important tool in my small business mentorship toolbox! And I am eternally grateful for the opportunities I get each day to really truly help my neighbours and small business owners.
