AKAL Mortgages Inc.

In my search for a mortgage brokerage, I encountered many other places who claimed that no matter the application, they would get the job done. They told me not to worry about the bad ones, that I should bring every application forward because they had ways to approve them. To me, that didn’t sit right. I didn’t want to begin my career as a mortgage agent at a brokerage that was so openly unethical because that sort of thing falls back on their brokers and agents, and I didn’t want a bad reputation.

Many brokerages I visited only offered hours and hours of webinars instead of in-office training. They didn’t have a support team, and once you became a part of the brokerage, you were left to navigate the industry alone.

---When I finally interviewed at Akal Mortgages, I was pleased to hear that they had a zero-tolerance policy for unethical behaviour and they did not “just approve” bad deals, they would rather turn them away than have their own reputations tarnished.

They offered 3 days of in-office training covering every aspect of the deal from start to finish, including lead generation and even taught me how to create a business plan. They gave out emails and phone numbers of their support team to all of us in case we needed help, and even gave their personal contact information if we wanted to speak with them directly!

They never made me feel like they were too busy to talk to me, and I felt from the beginning like they were genuinely interested in helping each individual agent succeed not only within their brokerage and the industry, but in life.

I recommend Akal Mortgages to agents and brokers, to professionals, to homeowners, investors, and renters who want to own… I recommend them to everyone!

Being newer to the industry, my main goal was to find a place that could provide the right mentorship. I had a few interviews with other brokerages before joining AKAL Mortgages Inc., but I always left those interviews not feeling motivated enough to join their team. It became immediately clear to me that many brokerages did not provide the right platform or building blocks for newer agents. During the interview process with AKAL Mortgages Inc., it became clear that the tools would be provided for me; all I had to do was use them to grow my business. Support is usually available, and the weekly training sessions are extremely informative and motivating. To be completely honest, I was a bit hesitant to join at the beginning because of the contract. As a brokerage they need to protect their assets so I can understand why it's so extensive, but as a new agent, I felt intimidated and I felt like I was locking myself into it with no escape. After a few days of dilerbation, I came to the conclusion that if AKAL Mortgages Inc. is willing to put the time and effort into my growth, the least I could do is show my loyalty and commitment to growing with them. My mindset is why jump around from brokerage to brokerage when with AKAL Mortgages Inc., you're able to plant a seed in one place and grow with the company. I'm a few months into my journey, and looking back right now, I have no doubt in my mind that I've made the best decision possible.
