West Coast Mortgages Has Joined The Village At Mortgage Architects
  
Happy New Year!! We hope that 2026 is the very best kind of year, filled with happiness, ease and prosperity!
We have some extremely exciting New Year's news to share with you! Over the last few months our team has been working hard on transitioning to a new brokerage within the Dominion Lending Group family. We are excited to announce that we are now a part of Mortgage Architects and, most importantly, we have joined The Village.
The Village is a group of like-minded mortgage brokers, all working within our own businesses, but focusing on collaboration and maximizing our access to lenders. Over the past 22 years, you have watched us grow and expand, and our alliance with the Village allows us to bring you even higher levels of service and increased mortgage product options. Our partners within The Village are some of the most productive brokers in Canada, and we are excited to be able to tap into their knowledge and systems.
Your mortgage is one of the most important pillars of your financial plan, and we value the trust you have placed in us to assist you. We are still West Coast Mortgages and we are now adding Village Mortgage Architects to our name, which means more products and lenders may be available to you. Because sometimes doing the very best possible job for our clients can take a Village.
Flooding In The Wack
Generally, we really love living right on the Chilliwack River. However, the last couple of months have been just a wee bit stressful.
In December we had an atmospheric river, which flooded many of our neighbours' properties. Fortunately, the water did not reach the high water mark from the 2021 atmospheric river on our property, and we remained unscathed. However, in the picture above you may be able to see a couple trees on the other side of the river that were knocked down by the rushing water. She is powerful!
Then, earlier this month, we were under an Evacuation Alert, again due to risk of flooding. This time the warm weather, combined with the rain, caused too much snow melt on the surrounding mountains. This was our first time having the firefighters come to the door to warn us, which was exciting in the worst way. We are very grateful that the extreme weather has subsided, at least for now. Hopefully things will remain calm for the remainder of the wet season. Fingers crossed!
