Amber Mihm of DLC Forest City Funding is part of this year's Canadian Mortgage Professional's Hot List
Mortgage agent
DLC Forest City Funding
After spending a decade working in mortgage lending at a bank, in 2016, Amber Mihm joined DLC Forest City Funding, where she oversees a team of nine agents at Forest City’s Hyde Park branch.
“It was a scary thing to leave an institution I worked for a very long time and go ‘independent,’” Mihm says. “Fortunately, I am not independent, since I work for the fastest-growing brokerage in the country; they have embraced me with the most generous arms and given me opportunities [that] I thought would take years, not months, to achieve.”
During her short tenure as a broker, Mihm has discovered a passion for commercial lending; going forward, she plans to pursue even more complex transactions while continuing to grow her client base and experience in all types of lending. Mihm funded more than $20 million in 2017 and has built a $10 million pipeline for 2018, which will put her well on her way to achieving her goal of funding $30 million this year. She was also recently nominated for an Our London Readers’ Choice Award.
“The ‘secret’ to my success in the past year has been embracing all the reasons why I stand out and using them to set myself apart from the competition,” she says. “That’s the beauty of this business – being ‘different’ can be so advantageous!”
Outside of the office, Mihm is a sponsor of the FC London Mini Stars soccer team and an avid supporter of the London Women’s Community House and the London Sexual Assault Centre.
