Helping BC families find their way home for over 13 years. Independent, personalized mortgage advice — no pressure, just clarity.
About Shanna
As an independent mortgage broker licensed in British Columbia, I've guided hundreds of clients through some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives — from first-time buyers navigating an overwhelming process, to seasoned homeowners refinancing for the next chapter. The mortgages I've funded over the past 13 years represent more than numbers; they represent families, fresh starts, and futures I am proud to have helped make possible.
"I don't want to work for you — I want to work with you."
Exceptional service is the foundation of my work ethic. My background in hospitality management taught me that relationships are the heart and soul of a successful business — and through earning a Commerce degree with a Finance major from UBC's Sauder School of Business, I gained the financial knowledge to back that instinct.
Whether you're exploring your first pre-approval or restructuring for the future, I bring clarity, patience, and the kind of mortgage expertise that only experience can provide.

Know exactly what you can afford before you start looking. Rate holds up to 120 days so you can shop with confidence.
Restructure your existing mortgage to access equity, lower your rate, or consolidate debt — on your terms.

Expert guidance from pre-approval to possession — every step explained, no question too small.
Being your own boss shouldn't mean being turned away by a bank. I specialize in helping self-employed Canadians — sole proprietors, incorporated owners, and contractors — navigate the mortgage process. Using stated income, NOAs, and business financials, I know exactly which lenders work with your income structure and how to present your application so it gets approved.
Self-employed mortgages have more options than most people realize. Let's talk through yours.

"She goes above and beyond with her customer service."
When I decided to buy my first property, I spoke with my bank and other mortgage brokers, but I didn't feel confident — some made me feel the process would be very difficult. That's when a good friend recommended Shanna. In just a few minutes on the phone, she was friendly, patient, and genuinely excited to help me achieve my dream. Working with Shanna was a wonderful experience. She goes above and beyond with her customer service and follow-up. My process moved forward quickly and I'm very pleased — I would recommend her to anyone who needs a mortgage broker.
"I would absolutely recommend her, especially to first-time buyers."
Shanna assisted me with securing my first mortgage during a transition between self-employed consulting and a staff position. By working closely with the lender, she was able to give them confidence in my continued employment and future income — and obtained better rates than my lifelong bank could offer. The process was simple and stress-free. I didn't hesitate to return for my renewal, and once again it went extremely smoothly. With a competitive rate held at 90 days, Shanna continued working with lenders and secured an even better rate before the renewal date. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially first-time buyers.
"She was incredibly organized and always one step ahead."
As first-time buyers with not-so-typical incomes, we were a little overwhelmed going into the mortgage application process, but Shanna directed everything flawlessly.

"As soon as we contacted Shanna, we knew we were in good hands."
Starting to search for a mortgage for our first home at the beginning of a pandemic was overwhelming — but as soon as we contacted Shanna, we knew we were in good hands. She was amazingly patient with our many questions, guided us through every step, and took the time to explain all our options so we could make the best decision. Shanna's knowledge, expertise, and extra-special touches made the whole experience a positive one. We have a lovely new home and couldn't have done it without her.
"She found a rate even lower than my current provider."
Shanna is the best in the industry and will no doubt earn your business if given the chance. When exploring options for my last renewal, she could not have made the process any easier — she found a lender and interest rate even lower than my current provider. I will definitely be asking for her help again at my next renewal. I wouldn't trust anyone else.
"I highly recommend her — I have since referred several friends."
My friend recommended that I call Shanna to discuss my mortgage options. I'm so happy I did. She was very accessible, explained the process in a way that made sense to me, and ensured I got the financing to secure my new build condo. Shanna did an amazing job keeping everything on track. I highly recommend her — I have since referred several friends who've had the same experience.
