First Word

This is for brokers. Mortgage brokers. Other people are welcome to join in the discussion, but the whole point of this is to appeal to brokers. In this blog we are focussing on things that matter to mortgage brokers. Career advice. Professional opinions and advice. How to do this or that... Where to find?

I have an ulterior motive for doing this blog. If you are a mortgage broker in BC I'd like you to consider joining my company as a broker. I think you will find the atmosphere warm, the opportunities superb, and our attitudes designed to encourage and support your personal and business success.

But that's just my ulterior motive. I really like working with people and helping people achieve their dreams. That's my personal mantra. Helping someone else succeed is fundamental to my personality and goals for life. So, I want to be there for you and help you achieve something wonderful with your life. Ya, I know. Bla bla. But really, I mean it.

I would also like this blog to be of interest even to brokers who may never work for me, or who aren't even in British Columbia or Alberta.

For the first few entries I'm going to talk about mortgage brokerage as a career choice. I'll include links to official sites and services, but I'll do more. I'll talk about the work, the job and the opportunities realistically and with information that will actually help you decide whether or not this career might actually be for you or not.

So pay attention. I hope my comments, and the comments of my readers, are helpful in making your decision to become a mortgage broker in BC, and then possibly about coming to work in our firm as a member of my team.

If this career is for you, it can be the best job in the world. You can make an excellent income doing work that matters to your clients. Every day is different, and yet, as you grow and develop as a professional broker, you gain a profound sense of satisfaction in your professional skills. If you are service oriented and LOVE people, then this might be the career for you.

At the end of the day you go home having done something of consequence. You will also have made a good living doing it.
