Experienced Mortgage Broker
Hello, I am Collin Smith. I am a husband, father of two wonderful kids, a University Graduate and Mortgage Broker going on my 25th year.
In my career, I am fortunate to have experienced both sides of the mortgage industry. I worked as a Mortgage Specialist in one of the major banks for nine years. Now, as a broker, I have access to many lenders: including some of those large banks. Knowing how they each process mortgages is an advantage I pass along to my clients.
Conversations about products, pricing, rate strategies, etc. are always interesting. I love helping people realize their financial goals throughout their life stages. It gives me great satisfaction to secure mortgages where others have given up. I am loyal, honest and hardworking. My customers stick with me because I keep in touch with them long after the paperwork. I don’t “love then leave them.”
Living and working in Blackfalds Alberta, a bedroom community of Red Deer, I am conveniently located between Calgary and Edmonton. So, if you’re looking for mortgage services anywhere in Alberta, I’ve got you covered either by meeting in person, over the phone or online.
I have had the pleasure to serve clients all over the country including my more local communities of Red Deer, Lacombe, Penhold, Sylvan Lake and of course Blackfalds to name a few.
