Brokers for Life Inc
For the last 17 years Len Lane has made his living in the mortgage industry, prior to become a mortgage broker in 2006 Len spent 15 yrs in the home building industry with positions running from area manager to General Manager for some of Alberta’s biggest builders. “I always knew that at some point I would leave housing for the finance industry and mortgages made the most sense to me”.
Len started his career in the boom town of Fort McMurray in a time when things were extremely busy and he had to learn on the fly. In fact, he learned it so well that in his first 30 months in the mortgage industry he earned a million dollars in commissions and did it without an assistant. By 2009 he had gathered a team of agents to work with and Brokers For Life Team was born while still in Ft McMurray and as it grew he moved his business to Edmonton and officially became a brokerage in Sept of 2010.
Today that team numbers 25 agents and assistants, licensed in 5 Canadian provinces and continues to grow year after year. “We have a simple philosophy and that is we are here to do what is right for the customer and offer them real life mortgage solutions”.
