Shawn Selanders, Alberta Mortgage Broker

Shawn Selanders

Alberta Mortgage Broker  |  RECA Licensed  |  Since 1999

25+ years. Near $1 billion funded. I work for you, not the banks.

Independent mortgage broker serving Calgary, Okotoks, High River, and communities across Southern Alberta. I shop 40+ lenders to find you the right mortgage — not just the cheapest rate.


Your Bank Works for Shareholders. I Work for You.

Here's what most people don't realise: when you walk into your bank for a mortgage, you're only seeing that bank's products. Their advisor is an employee — paid to sell you their rates, their terms, their penalties.

As an independent broker, I sit on your side of the desk.

🏦 Your Bank

  • One lender's products
  • Employee loyalty to the bank
  • Limited rate negotiation
  • Standard penalties and terms

🤝 Your Broker (Me)

  • 40+ lenders competing for you
  • I work for you, period
  • Rate + terms negotiation
  • Options the banks don't offer

The bottom line: My service costs you nothing. Lenders pay the broker fee. You get more options, better negotiation, and someone who answers the phone.


Who I Help

I serve two distinct groups of Albertans — and I bring deep experience to both.

🏠 Home Buyers, Renewals & Refinancing

Ages 30-55  |  First-time buyers to move-up buyers to investors

  • Pre-approvals — know your budget before you shop
  • Renewals — don't just sign what they mail you
  • Refinancing — debt consolidation, renos, life changes
  • Self-employed — bank and alternative lender options
  • Investment properties — purchase and refinance

  • Stay in your home — maintain ownership and independence
  • Help family with down payments or education
  • Cover expenses — health, home mods, unexpected costs
  • Eliminate existing payments to improve cash flow

How It Works — 3 Simple Steps

📞

1. Quick Call

10-15 minutes. I ask a few questions, figure out what you qualify for, and give you a realistic picture.

🔍

2. I Shop 40+ Lenders

I match you to the right lender and product, negotiate rates, and handle the back-and-forth.

3. You Get the Right Mortgage

Clean close. No surprises. And I'm still here if you have questions — even years from now.


Deep Alberta Roots — Three Decades and Counting

I moved to Alberta in 1992. Got my mortgage licence in 1999. I've lived in Calgary, raised a family in Okotoks for 20 years, and now call High River home.

I'm not a broker who "covers Southern Alberta" from a call centre. I've lived it. I know the markets, the Realtors, the builders, the appraisers. I know what homes are selling for and what lenders are actually approving.

Communities I serve:

Calgary Okotoks High River Diamond Valley Longview Nanton Claresholm + More
