Experience that sees the bigger picture
The bank looks at the box.
I look at the whole story.
Not every mortgage application fits neatly into a lender’s standard guidelines. A business owner’s income, a career change or a past credit setback can call for a closer look.
With 24+ years in banking and 17+ years as a mortgage broker, I understand how lenders review applications and how to present your complete financial story. From a straightforward purchase to a more complex mortgage, my goal is to find a solution that makes sense for you.

Here in your community
Local roots.
Personal attention.
Based in Okotoks, I help homebuyers and homeowners across High River and the Foothills area. You have a local person to talk to, with experience helping clients navigate their mortgage options.
Excellent 'service' and attention to detail. You walked us through everything so there were no surprises at all. Highly recommended for sure!
A few things you may be wondering
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Every situation has its own details. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.
Ask Ken a questionShould I compare options before renewing with my bank?
Yes. Your renewal is an opportunity to review your rate, payment, flexibility and future plans. Ken can help you compare your renewal offer with available alternatives and understand any costs involved before you decide.
Can you help if I’m self-employed?
Yes. Self-employed income can require a different approach to documentation. Ken can review how your business earns income and explore lenders and products that may suit your situation. The documents and approval requirements depend on the lender.
What if a bank has already declined my application?
A decline from one lender does not tell the whole story. Ken can review the reasons, your goals and any alternative options that may be available. Approval is never guaranteed, and the rates, fees and terms need to make sense for you.
Is a reverse mortgage right for everyone over 55?
No. Age is only part of the picture. You should understand the interest costs, fees, effect on your home equity and alternatives before deciding. Ken can help you explore the options. Read the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s reverse mortgage guide.
Do I need all my paperwork before contacting Ken?
You can start with a brief description of your situation and what you want to achieve. Ken can help you work out which documents are needed and how to provide them. You don’t need to choose the right mortgage product before asking for help.
