Colby Sawatzky
Mortgage Broker
Meet Colby
Colby has over 7 years of experience as a mortgage broker. After spending several years in the oil and gas industry Colby made the choice to break out of the industry and became a mortgage broker and he hasn’t looked back ever since.
From his degree in Business and entrepreneurship, Colby has made a foothold in the industry. His goal with every client is to treat them and their situation as if it was his own personal home purchase. His experience and expertise have allowed him to help many clients find creative solutions to becoming a homeowner.


Laura and Colby were exceptionally dedicated to helping us build our dream home. We did most details on a handshake or a phone call. It’s hard to find that level commitment and trust today. They have since done our sons mortgage on his new home as well.
Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
More Options
With a network of major lenders and products to choose from, we can source your ideal mortgage options from the banks, credit unions, non-traditional lenders, and more. Taking the time to find the best option for your unique needs is a basic role as a mortgage broker
Negotiating on Your Behalf
Negotiating can be stressful. We act in your interests and do all the negotiating to secure competitive rates and terms that make sense for you. We have negotiating power because we fund millions of dollars in mortgages and lenders compete for our business. To you, that means more negotiating power to get you the best rates and terms for your needs.
No Cost to You
We are paid by the lending institution in the vast majority of cases – this means there’s no cost to you and no surprises. Essentially you get to use all our knowledge, expertise, and connections within the industry to secure the best mortgage for your needs, for free.
Expertise
We are specialists providing expert advice and guidance on mortgage products, interest rates, and current housing market conditions. We help choose the right mortgage product for you and assist you by creating a strategy for your specific situation and needs.
Fast and Efficient
From the initial assessment of your unique situation right through the closing process, transactions move quickly when working with us. We do the research and shopping for you so there’s no need for you to waste time organizing appointments with competing mortgage lenders when you could be house-hunting!
Ongoing Support
Even after your successful mortgage transaction, we are a great resource for advice, queries, or future needs. Our focus is to build a lifetime partnership with you and your family.
Access to Special Deals & Add-ons
Many financial institutions offer incentives including retail points programs or appliance discounts. Sometimes, we can tap into those perks and savings and pass them along to you and your family.
