He’s built up a loyal following of clients over the years, with many even spanning generations. Past clients of 20 years ago are now referring their children to Richard, a testament to the level of trust and service he provides.
Richard’s client focus is unparalleled. He takes the time to listen and understand his clients’ unique needs and financial goals, and then works diligently to ensure they receive the best possible service. He is passionate about educating his clients on the various mortgage products available and helping them find the right solutions to suit their specific needs, all while ensuring they secure the lowest rates possible.
In addition to his client focus, Richard is also an expert at running a brokerage. He has built a thriving business from the ground up, utilizing effective systems and processes to scale the business and ensure that all clients receive top-notch service every time.

Richard is well connected within the industry, and his relationships with other mortgage professionals across Canada are invaluable.

Richard’s commitment to family values extends beyond his personal life, as he has created a true family affair within his brokerage. His children, Chelsea and Jon, were inspired by their father’s success and decided to pursue a career in mortgage brokering, joining the team and becoming valuable assets to the business. With Richard’s guidance and mentorship, Chelsea and Jon have been with the brokerage for many years and have plans to eventually take over when (or if) Richard ever decides to retire (although we all know he’s a mortgage lifer!). The employees of the brokerage have also become part of the family, many of them being with the company for over 30 years.
Outside of work, Richard loves to travel with his wife Janet. They’re both avid golfers and spend their summers at their cottage in Wasaga Beach with family and friends. Richard is also a big boating enthusiast and can often be found cruising the waterways.
All in all, Richard is a well-respected mortgage expert who knows how to get things done. With his knowledge, experience, and commitment to client satisfaction, it’s no wonder he’s built such a successful business. He’s the mortgage maestro you want leading your team.
