A lifelong Vancouverite who gets your mortgage done right
Thanks for visiting. I'm a lifelong Vancouver resident. I grew up in the Westside neighbourhood of Dunbar and now live in East Vancouver with my wife and two young children. I graduated from UBC in 2006 with a Bachelor of Economics, and in 2007 I decided to focus my skills in the mortgage area of real estate finance and obtained my sub-broker licence.
In 2008 I began working at First National Financial, an industry-leading mortgage lender who I still deal with frequently on my clients' behalf. From there I became an in-house underwriter for a large Verico brokerage, executing mortgage approvals on behalf of a devoted sales force. I underwrote a large portfolio of transactions for three years, giving me ample experience with all types of residential mortgages and the challenges that come with them.
I then moved to Dominion Lending Centres, A Better Way,, where I was the in-house underwriter for most of 2014. The following year I left the underwriting department to broker my own clients directly, while still underwriting on behalf of a small group of brokers at the firm.
After three years at Dominion Lending Centres, I left the franchise model and co-founded Vanderkamp Vancouver Mortgages, a boutique independent brokerage based in Vancouver. Today I focus exclusively on my clients, old and new. I bring my extensive background in underwriting to every file, which means I know how approvals actually get made, and I use that knowledge to get the best outcome possible for the people I work with. I'm dedicated to my clients' ongoing and evolving mortgage needs, and committed to being their most trusted and accessible resource.
