We had our Christmas Party out in Canmore this weekend and I was surprised and delighted when my name was called last night as the recipient of the Lender’s Choice Award for 2022. Our lender partners are polled every year to choose a broker who exemplifies efficiency, professionalism, and operational prowess.
Thank you to my brokerage Quantus Mortgage Solutions, our fearless leaders Todd Fralic and Paul Bojakli, and of course my underwriter Lys Blouin as well as all of our lender partners for putting together a great Christmas party and for the award!

I’m Remi Korent, and I look forward to sharing my story. I hope that you will enjoy getting to know me better. Four years ago, I started Rock Solid Mortgages with the goal of helping people navigate their path to home ownership.
