Bio
Working in the commercial mortgage industry since 2020, Chris has assisted in the financing of over $1 billion in debt transactions across the country. He has helped a broad array of clients from private developers to REITs in attaining accretive financing from interim loans to CMHC insured solutions.
He has a particular focus on the Ontario and Quebec markets and is known for his ability to put himself in his client’s shoes to ensure that they receive the best deal possible in the current market conditions.
I like working in commercial real estate finance because of how dynamic the industry is. You need to be aware of the latest trends and how they will affect the outcome and structure of your deals.
Working at CICI has taught me the value of taking my time and asking the right questions.
My strengths are my strong work ethic, organizational skills, and passion for real estate. I’m driven by learning the nuances of asset classes and loan types, which allows me to immerse myself in each deal.
What I like most about working at CICI is that every deal and client is different. Every day is engaging because I am constantly learning.
My favorite part of my role is the broad exposure to deals across the spectrum of commercial real estate.
