Joe Mendel
Manager, Broker Services | Senior Mortgage Advisor
I'm a licensed mortgage broker with VERICO Dreyer Group Mortgages. I pride myself in offering personal service, unbiased advice, and great rates. I'll guide you through the mortgage loan process from beginning to end. It’ll be like having your own personal banker on speed dial.
I took my first credit application as a finance manager working at a major Lower Mainland auto dealership. This was back in the day when fax machines and dot matrix printers were still the way. A passion for real estate and a chance meeting with a future mortgage mogul led me to become a licensed mortgage broker in 2006, just in time for the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Never one to back down from a challenge, I stuck it out and am now a key member of a multi-award winning mortgage team.
One thing that sets me apart is my willingness to share my own real estate successes and failures. Whether pre-sale condos or townhouses, new construction, self-builds, rental properties, unwanted special condo assessments, do-it-yourself renovations or the hire-a-professional kind; I've personally experienced them all. Go ahead, ask me about it any of it, or all of it. For me, helping others navigate their own real estate adventures is the most rewarding part of my job.
Outside of the office, I'm an avid photographer and can be found combing the beaches or kayaking the waters on the Sunshine Coast where I live with my wife, Diana, and our three dogs.
