Mortgage broker

Before becoming a mortgage broker two years ago, Xenos Chan spent six-plus years working with one of largest international banks, where he specialized in all types of lending, financial planning, advisory services and commercial banking. Today, Chan credits his banking background with allowing him to provide solid advice that helps determine the right fit for his clients, and he prides himself on providing professional, ethical and honest advice with a high level of customer service.
Chan says the flexibility of the mortgage industry is what inspired him to become a broker. “I get to schedule my own daily working hours, so I’m available for my clients at their convenience,” he says. “Additionally, instead of pushing my clients to consolidate all their banking needs, I do the legwork, negotiate on their behalf with lenders and find the best possible terms based on the best fit for their situation. What truly drives me is accessing different products and lenders across Canada and finding the best one that fits my clients’ situation. This is the most important value-added service for my clients compared to a traditional banking relationship.”
