Started with little fanfare in 1990, The Mortgage Group is excited to celebrate its 20th anniversary this month. Currently operating in nine provinces and three territories, the national mortgage brokerage remains focused on supporting the broker channel and continued growth.
The company, initially named Kirk Capital Corp, was licensed by FICOM on July 27, 1990 and opened its first franchise in British Columbia under London, Ontario-based “The Equity Centre,” hiring four mortgage brokers.
TMG evolved out of Kirk Capital and expanded its operation with offices in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
“It is amazing to think that 20 years has already passed since we entered this industry,” said Grant Thomas, CEO, partner and co-founder of TMG. “We have so much we still want to do, in many respects we feel like we are just getting started. We work with an incredible network and I am looking forward to seeing what the next twenty years will bring.”
Today, TMG is one of the largest and most well respected mortgage brokerages in Canada, having helped almost a quarter million Canadians find the right mortgage that best suit their financial needs.
”TMG provides exceptional value for brokers with unparallel support, training, service, technical advancements and lender relationships,” said Debbie Thomas, TMG partner and co-founder. “It is what has differentiated us in the past and will continue to be the core to our future.”
“TMG will not rest on our past success - we will maintain our strong focus on helping our brokers educate Canadian consumers on the value of using the services of a mortgage broker helping them to attract and keep customers for years to come,” says President, Mark Kerzner.
Throughout this summer TMG is planning various events and marketing initiatives celebrating its 20 years in the mortgage business.
