All About Me
YOUR TRUSTED MORTGAGE BROKER
Grant Powell has always been an entrepreneur. Even in grade five, he committed to working at least six hours a week. This included a paper route that he held for over five years. On many weekends, he helped his older brother with his carpet installation business. Mr. Powell was actively employed in his community, helping several neighbours. He assisted them in landscaping, carpentry, and upholstery just to name a few.
As an adult, he excelled in a wide-range of industries. He co-founded an innovative video production company and a renovation company. In construction, he became a certified red-seal ticketed tradesman, a project manager, and a founder of an import/export modular housing business. As a result of his diverse working history, Mr. Powell is able to relate to and understand a wide-range of clients. He relies on his breadth of experience to more accurately assist his many clients.
Evidently, his love of helping those around him has not changed since he was a child. Now as seasoned, leading mortgage broker, his greatest joy is helping people to achieve their financial dreams. He loves to work one-on-one, piece by piece, building a person’s finances, not unlike a tradesman, to get to realize their goals. He takes pride in helping people alongside him throughout their journey. In fact, over the past eighteen years, Mr. Powell has written several articles, in magazines such as; the Vancouver View and many others. In 2015, he published his own book, Leverage your Best Option, whose goal is to explain plainly the financial realities of the world and because of how informative and easy to read this book is, it is also being used to train new mortgage
brokers Canada-wide.
Additionally, Mr. Powell has also volunteered with Teen Global Wealth, where he taught teens to prepare themselves to take on the real world. In 2017 Mr. Powell was featured in two episodes of Bloomberg TV Canada’s Biz 1 on 1 where he discussed his business and writing activities along with much more.
