SHELAYNE LOEPPKY Street Capital
Shelayne Loeppky goes above and beyond the norm to ensure deals are on track, including calling brokers on funding day to let them know when a lawyer hasn’t requested the funds. She understands the importance of urgency and timing: During the latest round of mortgage rule changes, she answered calls and emails both day and night to ensure brokers had the most up-todate information. She also monitors deals from the back end once they’re submitted to make sure she’s aware if anything goes awry. “Shelyane is wonderful at showing appreciation for the deal submissions that I send in,” says Sheri Deibert, a mortgage associate with TMG The Mortgage Group. “She thanks me personally for each and every deal I submit. I feel such positivity and motivation to send her more. She is truly a pleasure to work with.” Loeppky also makes a point of asking brokers for their input when it comes to possible product offerings, a small gesture that goes a long way.
In the three years Ajay Kaith has been with Oppono Lending Company and the Mortgage Company of Canada, he has developed a reputation for being efficient and a quick responder. Between his exceptional follow-up via calls and meetings to discuss various options and his unwillingness to waste a broker’s time on a bad deal, Kaith goes the extra mile to help brokers better understand their deals. “I have found it very difficult working with many BDMs, as they don’t have the patience or are just too busy to give me the assistance I require,” says Priscilla Lanzellotti, a new agent with Centum Mortgage Group. “This has not been the case with Ajay. From the first time I contacted him to the present day, Ajay has always made the time to help me along with a file.”
BRIAN MASON Street Capital
Known as ‘Mr. Go-To’ by some brokers, Brian Mason is always quick to answer last-minute concerns. His proactive assistance has saved deals on more than one occasion, and his willingness to maintain good relationships allows for a smooth transaction from beginning to end. “Brian’s quick response and efficient work ethic make getting deals done so much easier in an industry that gets increasingly harder year over year,” says Jeff Towner, a mortgage agent with Verico Capital Mortgages. “Brian never makes excuses or sets false expectations, but is also the first to tell you if you’re out to lunch, and I appreciate that, since efficiency is key in this business.”
