avigating the mortgage process has become more complex over the last few years. That’s why you want experienced, client-centred mortgage professionals on your side. The team at Select Mortgage focuses on meeting the unique needs of each and every one of our clients throughout our beautiful province. Like the homes they choose — from condos to single-family homes and multi-unit properties — each of our clients has their own story and their own financial needs and goals. We help them on the path to their financial and homeownership goals, whatever their life stage or property preference.
“Our business is about helping our clients on the path to their financial and home-ownership goals, whatever their life stage, and whatever their property preference.” – Don Barr, president
The Right Team for Today’s Complex Market At Select Mortgage, we excel at helping our clients successfully navigate an unprecedentedly busy market. This market can be ultra-stressful for people trying to purchase a home. With properties in many communities selling very fast, often above asking price and in bidding wars, prospective buyers often miss out on several properties before they are finally successful in purchasing. In this heated market, buyers are often put in a precarious position and don’t always have the buffer of a “subject to financing” clause that has always been a standard protection for buyers. Our Select Mortgage team works hard to assist clients before they make an offer so that there is a successful financing outcome. Our team is headed up by nine location managers, our indispensable administrative team in Victoria, and is operated by Geoff Parkin and Don Barr. Since launching their business in 2005, Geoff and Don have grown the firm to 11 locations throughout Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, with over 70 mortgage advisors now licensed with Select Mortgage. Don, our president, works out of our Westshore office. He has been in the mortgage brokerage industry for more than 35 years. A long-time Victoria resident, Don is a pioneer in the mortgage broker industry and has served on the board of the Mortgage Brokers Association of BC (MBABC) for eight years. Geoff, our CEO, has been in the financial industry for more than 25 years and has CPA and CFA designations. A former Victoria resident, Geoff lives in White Rock where he serves on the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation board. With their extensive expertise and personalized approach, Don, Geoff and the entire Select Mortgage team are well positioned to help our clients understand and chart a successful course through the ever-changing complexity of the mortgage-financing industry.
