Becoming a licenced mortgage broker can be a life-changing career move. More and more Albertans are turning to mortgage brokers to assist them in securing a mortgage rather than dealing with the big banks - and that means that the industry is constantly growing. With tremendous earning opportunities and a flexible work environment, it's a career that is rewarding, exciting, and best of all, you will help people get the best mortgage possible and assist them in achieving their home ownership goals.
Be your own boss
Mortgage brokers by and large work independently. Often, they have the authority to set their working hours and make their own schedule. Moreover, they decide how they will manage their time and priorities. They don’t work towards achieving someone else’s goals - they determine their own goals and work diligently to achieve them.
Unlimited earning potential
When you are a mortgage broker, you are often not bound to earning on an hourly basis or to a particular salary package. Since you are often your own boss, your earning power rests on your own shoulders. Mortgage brokers have great earning potential, and that’s one reason many people get into it. However, one should not assume that this profession will earn you money overnight. First, you have to put in hard work, develop relationships, and grow your client base - but if you're dedicated and passionate, the sky's the limit.
Make an impact
Often, mortgage brokers play a significant role in helping people who are going through major changes in their lives. Whether it's helping a growing family transition into their forever home, or a couple buying their first home, mortgage brokers have the unique opportunity to help clients from all different backgrounds and circumstances achieve their dream of home ownership. Being a mortgage broker can be extremely satisfying when you're able to get your clients approved for a mortgage, especially if they'd been turned down by the traditional banks.
Be part of a dynamic and changing industry
If you are someone who loves change, working with different markets or new trends, a mortgage broker career is for you. The industry is dynamic, and never boring. New challenges provide constant professional growth, and mortgage brokers are often tasked with coming up with creative and innovative solutions to an ever-changing landscape.
