Making Mortgages Easy!

Markets Served: Edmonton and surrounding areas

I've been immersed in the busy world of mortgage brokering since the spring of 2007 when Edmonton's real estate market was at the height of a boom. Frenzied buyers were frantically buying whatever they could qualify for, and multiple offers were standard. At the time, I had just graduated with a Diploma in Business Administration, with a major in Finance. I had earned my diploma by working full-time as a Corporate Sales Rep in the telecommunications industry during the day and attending evening classes for several years. It was a long haul, but it allowed me to have a foot in the business world while obtaining some formal education and I ended up graduating with honours.

With my new diploma in hand, I wanted to change things up a bit and grow my career in a finance-related industry. After a lot of research and a few sleepless nights, I decided to combine my love of working with people in a sales role and my educational training in finance to become a Mortgage Broker. It was a scary move for me (I hate change!) but seemed like a perfect fit. After more than 15 years in the business, I can’t imagine doing anything else! There is nothing more rewarding than helping my clients achieve their goals and helping them prosper. The absolute best feeling is when I call a client after they get the keys to their new home. Their excitement and happiness fills my cup!

I am licensed with Verico Compass Mortgage Group (via the Real Estate Council of Alberta) whose head office is in Kelowna, BC. Compass is a member of Verico, which is a network that unites top Mortgage Brokers in Canada. This strategic membership, with Verico, allows independent mortgage brokerages to retain their independence while reaping the benefits of being aligned with other independent firms. The benefits include access to a wider variety of lending institutions and ultra competitive interest rates due to the large amount of volume produced by Verico affiliated brokerages.

When I'm not busy approving mortgages and meeting with clients, I am spending time with my husband and our awesome dog! My husband and I love to enjoy a good glass of wine and a nice meal. I love to cook! My second favorite pastime is working off all that good food at the gym or in Edmonton's gorgeous river valley. I'm passionate about fitness. I love being active and living life to the fullest!
