I’ve spent 20 years in this industry—born and raised in Vancouver, so I know this market the way most people know their own neighbourhood. I’ve seen it shift, tighten, surprise everyone, and reward the clients who had the right team in their corner at the right time.

When we created Mortgage CoLab, the goal wasn’t to build something new for the sake of it. It was to build something that finally matched the way we’d always worked—as a real team, with real collaboration, putting clients at the centre of every decision.

The brokers at CoLab aren’t here by accident. These are people I’ve worked alongside for years. I trust their expertise, their judgment, and the way they treat clients. When you come to CoLab, you get a dedicated broker—but you also get the collective knowledge of seven professionals who talk to each other, problem-solve together, and genuinely want to see you get the right outcome.

We’ve helped first-time buyers who thought homeownership was out of reach. We’ve worked with newcomers to Canada navigating an unfamiliar system. We’ve supported growing families, seasoned investors, and everyone in between. Over 1,000 funded deals and $1.5 billion in mortgages later, the work still matters to us the same way it did at the start.

If you have a mortgage question—whether you’re ready to apply or just figuring out where to begin—reach out. No pressure, no jargon. Just a straight conversation with someone who knows BC real estate and wants to help you make the right move.
