Barbara Beler
Commercial Mortgage Broker
Meet Barbara
With over 25 years of commercial real estate lending experience across the country, Barbara has gained in-depth knowledge in all commercial real estate asset classes, and phases: from land servicing to construction, take-out financing, term financing, bridge loans, second mortgages, syndication and club deals, to CMHC insured lending. This extensive expertise greatly benefits her clients as she intimately knows what lenders are looking for. As a Broker, she packages client proposals specifically for their individual needs to obtain the best and most cost-effective financing solution for her clients.
Barbara is extremely well-connected within the lender network and keeps herself informed on the latest appetites of lenders. She also finds lenders that might not be accessible to her clients if they looked themselves. Barbara is often called upon as a subject matter expert by lenders, and at commercial real estate events such as the Calgary Restate Forum or BUILDEX Alberta. She holds degrees in Economics, and Business Administration. Barbara worked in Toronto, Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Montreal, and moved to Calgary in 2001.
