"I Made Serious Mistakes: chatting with Chad Wilson, a Mortgage Specialist on the business of money.
In this episode, I speak with Chad Wilson, the owner and principal broker at Ideal Mortgage Solutions. With an education in business, several years of experience in the financial markets, and some of the best customer service available, Chad is able to work with dozens of lenders across Canada's mortgage landscape and negotiate the very best terms for his clients.
Mortgages are not generally fully understood by most, and I don't believe most people even understand what a broker is and the valuable services they offer.
