In 2016, 22 of our firms will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary as members of the VERICO Network.
The journey of each one of these brokerages in the last decade has influenced the industry and the lives of hundreds of thousand of Canadians along with it.
Though much has changed in the past 10 years, one thing has remained the same: the standards of excellence and professionalism by which every member of the VERICO Network operates. Below, we get their take on what the last decade has brought, and what the next ten years will bring.
Sharnjit S. Gill, founder of VERICO Superior Mortgage, has spent his entire life in the Finance industry.
Born in Ludhiana, India, he joined UCO BANK in 1969. After migrating to Canada in 1995, he joined BMO {Bank of Montreal} in 1996 and served as Manger-Financial Services until 2000.
He resigned to start working as an Independent Mortgage Broker under his own Mortgage company –Superior Mortgage Inc – and since then he devoted himself to the Mortgage field.
He joined the VERICO Network in January 2006.
- How has your business changed in the past 10 years?
Our business has grown tremendously since we joined VERICO 10 years ago. We are getting 85% of our business through repeat clients.
The secret of our success is that we add value to our service and demonstrate the same to our clients. We do business in the old-fashioned way by getting our client’s TRUST and by doing what is right for them.
- What are the most memorable moments in your professional career in the last decade? What was a proud moment?
In the last decade there had been many memorable moments. In particular, I’m very proud to have been ranked as one of the TOP MORTGAGE BROKERS – CMP since 2009. Also TD Bank has been honoring our team for outstanding performance since 2005.
We also earned a top ranking from Coast Capital Savings in 2015.
- What professional advice would you give to your younger self?
I would say to my younger self that honesty is the pillar of success and that it goes long way to building Trust. We are well known in our community because “we give right advice to our clients”.
