When Kam Brar and his wife, Michelle, started this business in 2011, their goal was to reinvent the mortgage experience. A home is the single largest asset for most Canadians, and the Brars believed that it should not only be a place to live, but also an important cornerstone to your financial dreams. Based on this belief, they have successfully established a team of enthusiastic and committed experts to practice the very definition of Auxilium: aid, help, assist and support.
As an independent, locally owned and operated mortgage brokerage, we are not accountable to a national or head office, but instead, accountable to you, the client. With access to over 50 lenders, ranging from Canada’s largest banks to smaller credit unions and trust companies, we’re able to save you time and money by shopping around for the best rate and product.
Together, our team has accumulated more than 100 years of mortgage experience and knowledge that we apply to each client. By working as a team, we are able to each bring our expertise to your file.
Each member of our team is actively involved in their community. As a business, we actively support over a dozen local organizations in Victoria and the Westshore. Why? Because we live and play here, too!
