Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Team Syme - Steckler

Industry longevity. Western Canada experts. Invested personally.

When Team Syme - Steckler began ten years ago, it was a new but welcome presence in Vancouver real estate financing. With a philosophy that emphasizes trust building, enduring relationships and personal investment, Team Syme - Steckler is now a fixture in Western Canada real estate and a go-to for construction financing expertise. The team has grown to include two senior financing specialists and three dedicated analysts – collectively bringing diverse industry experience as well as the perspective that comes from longevity in an industry that has seen its share of ebbs and flows. Russ, Paul, Laura, Alison and Zen share similar values and invest personally in each deal and client relationship. When building relationships, the team believes in finding commonality and connection, delivering what’s promised, offering solution options and collaborating productively. With a strong foundation of trust and friendship, clients gain confidence from knowing that they have a partner that celebrates successes but also stands firm and tackles challenges head on.
