In 1988, Michael began learning the language of lending. By 1999, he was charting his own course as an independent broker. Today, as the founder and lead of HomeHappy, he uses that deep history to create custom mortgage strategies that a computer algorithm simply cannot replicate.Michael’s career has seen the heights of the industry; he built one of the largest brokerages in Canada, managing 130 brokers and $1.8 billion in annual volume (over $10+ billion lifetime). But along the way, he realized his true passion wasn't in managing a corporation—it was in working directly with people.
He chose to return to his roots to focus on what matters most: the individual goals and dreams of his clients.With over $1 billion in total personal mortgage volume closed, Michael’s expertise is rooted in a scale few have reached, yet his service remains deeply personal. He has helped over 1,000 families reach their homeownership goals, and his favorite milestone is now helping the grandchildren of his very first clients.A self-professed technology enthusiast, Michael leverages modern tools to simplify the noise and educate his clients in a way that is clear and proactive. He doesn't just help you get a mortgage; he builds a plan to help you reach your Mortgage Freedom Day sooner.

We chose to work with Indi because of the support they bring with Lender connections, technology support, and their choice to become OIM, partnering with Orbis mortgage which offers us the ability to finance a mortgage across Canada and in the US. This is the first time any Mortgage Broker can say that.
