Top-Rated Mortgage Brokers in Chilliwack

Licensed Mortgage Specialist, Owner

STEVE BROUWER

During my younger years, I spent my childhood in Africa, later relocating with my family across various regions of Western Canada. Following my university education in Michigan, I settled in Chilliwack, where my wife and I live with a large family and friend community. Here in the Fraser Valley, I have made lots of connections. Living in Canada has cultivated a profound sense of gratitude and gratefulness for what we have.

My wife and I enjoy contributing to several non-profit organizations while trying to help in the community. Over nearly two decades, I have been privileged to provide financial assistance to individuals. This profession brings me immense satisfaction, even though I hesitate to label it as ‘work.’ I approach each client interaction with a profound sense of pride and conscientiousness, striving to deliver exemplary service. I have learned a few creeds for success that I try to follow…

• Underpromise and overdeliver
• Work hard, and success will follow
• Build solid relationships

I have been fortunate enough to have had excellent training and worked for firms with ethics, and I enjoy helping people. Striving for success, working hard, building solid relationships and thinking outside the box has brought me a very rewarding life experience.

Brandon Regier

Brandon Regier was born and raised on a farm in Abbotsford and was the youngest of four boys. He was taught work ethic and discipline at a very young age and transpired that into his education, athletics, and his professional career.

He started playing hockey at a young age and was later drafted 1^st round to the WHL. After realizing hockey wasn’t his true passion, he decided to retire from hockey and pursue his education. Brandon attended the University of British Columbia and received his Bachelor of Commerce from Sauder School of Business.

Since he always excelled in mathematics and finance, and loved dealing with people, he decided to pursue a career in banking immediately following university. Brandon worked as a Financial Advisor managing high net-worth clients for one of the big banks. He focused on building proper rapport with each and every client he met and always went above and beyond for them. In a matter of a few years, he successfully grew his portfolio to over $80m while maintaining top client experience rankings year-over-year and was continually in the top 10% of advisors across the country.

During his career in finance, he got married to the woman of his dreams, had two beautiful boys, and also became a professional bodybuilder. Alongside studying finance, he studied health and nutrition and became a fitness/lifestyle coach in his spare time.

Brandon soon realized his potential was limited working for a large corporation and decided to go out on his own to focus on what would combine everything he is most passionate about—finance, real estate, and building relationships. Brandon believes that becoming a Mortgage Broker was one of the best decisions he has made. He looks forward to sharing his passion for his career with every client he meets and thrives on creating a five-star experience.
