Great way to introduce us to the industry by holding the boot-camp

Mortgage (Current Employee) - Winds - 3 March 2022

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed

The 3 day Mortgage boot camp covered a lot of information and helped me understand the industry norms and standards. As a new mortgage agent I had a lot of questions and confusions but after attending the camp I must say that I feel very confident to go out in the industry to help out the clients and it will be a great experience having working with the team like Akal Mortgages. As they say "when we say Yes! we stand behind our promise". They really stood behind their promise of getting the new agents ready and trained for the industry! 😊

Akal Mortgages Boot Camp for new agent and existing agents

Trainee (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 3 March 2022

Akal Mortgages 3-Day Boot Camp is one of a kind. The sessions are presented with professionalism and confidence. I have learnt a lot from these sessions. The facilitators are very knowledgeable and know so much about the mortgage industry. They have patience with everyone and the questions asked. There is so much information you take away from these sessions and can be taken mutliple times. I feel comfortable reaching out to the admins for any questions I might have. The presentations are clear and concise. The visual aids used in PowerPoints are great. I would recommend Akal Mortgages Boot Camp to anyone looking to join the industry.

Great group of people

Mortgage Agent (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 3 December 2021

I am a new Mortgage agent with Akal. I joined them because of the promise that they would take the time to train me the right way. After attending their training boot camp all of my worries I had about starting a new career are gone. The team is very knowledgeable, positive and inspirational. I interviewed many brokerages before I made the decision to join the Akal family and I have no doubts that I made the right choice. I can see myself at Akal Mortgages for my whole career. Thank you for all the time you give to your agents and always being there to answer our questions. This team environment has and will continue to make great agent that can provide quality service and products in an ethical way.

I attended the three day boot camp on zoom organised by Akal Mortgages Inc.It was an enriching experience.Their training for new mortgage agents is very detailed .It provides you with all the knowledge and necessary tools to become a successful and one of the top producers in the mortgage industry.Day one was focused on Marketing and advertising,goal setting and time management.Day two was focused on the technical part of the business.It was all about product knowledge.It was about the pool of lenders and how to find the right lender for your clients.Day three was focused on how to interview your clients. Once you are empowered with the training for marketing and the knowledge of all the products, it increases your confidence and it becomes very smooth to interview your clients.In nutshell it was an empowering and an enriching experience. I was amazed at the knowledge and experience of the trainers. I would recommend everyone to join this bootcamp if they want to excel in the mortgage industry.

Amazing place to work

Mortgage Agent (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 9 June 2021

I consider myself very fortunate that I decided to join AKAL Mortgages. As a newbie I have all the tools and resources available to make my job easier. The kind of support I receive from the brokerage is incredible. Weekly trainings, Facebook group and one on one guidance at any time of the day makes me feel valuable. The professionalism that the leaders show in webinars arranged my MPC and other boards sets them apart from everyone else. Wishing everyone in the team all the success in the world.

Great company

Mortgage Agent (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 11 May 2021

Being newer to the industry, my main goal was to find a place that could provide the right mentorship. I had a few interviews with other brokerages before joining AKAL Mortgages Inc., but I always left those interviews not feeling motivated enough to join their team. It became immediately clear to me that many brokerages did not provide the right platform or building blocks for newer agents. During the interview process with AKAL Mortgages Inc., it became clear that the tools would be provided for me; all I had to do was use them to grow my business. Support is usually available, and the weekly training sessions are extremely informative and motivating. To be completely honest, I was a bit hesitant to join at the beginning because of the contract. As a brokerage they need to protect their assets so I can understand why it's so extensive, but as a new agent, I felt intimidated and I felt like I was locking myself into it with no escape. After a few days of dilerbation, I came to the conclusion that if AKAL Mortgages Inc. is willing to put the time and effort into my growth, the least I could do is show my loyalty and commitment to growing with them. My mindset is why jump around from brokerage to brokerage when with AKAL Mortgages Inc., you're able to plant a seed in one place and grow with the company. I'm a few months into my journey, and looking back right now, I have no doubt in my mind that I've made the best decision possible.

I chose Akal Mortgages because of their honesty and integrity, their top-notch training, and their round-the-clock support.

Mortgage Agent (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 19 November 2019

In my search for a mortgage brokerage, I encountered many other places who claimed that no matter the application, they would get the job done. They told me not to worry about the bad ones, that I should bring every application forward because they had ways to approve them. To me, that didn’t sit right. I didn’t want to begin my career as a mortgage agent at a brokerage that was so openly unethical because that sort of thing falls back on their brokers and agents, and I didn’t want a bad reputation. Many brokerages I visited only offered hours and hours of webinars instead of in-office training. They didn’t have a support team, and once you became a part of the brokerage, you were left to navigate the industry alone. ---When I finally interviewed at Akal Mortgages, I was pleased to hear that they had a zero-tolerance policy for unethical behaviour and they did not “just approve” bad deals, they would rather turn them away than have their own reputations tarnished. They offered 3 days of in-office training covering every aspect of the deal from start to finish, including lead generation and even taught me how to create a business plan. They gave out emails and phone numbers of their support team to all of us in case we needed help, and even gave their personal contact information if we wanted to speak with them directly! They never made me feel like they were too busy to talk to me, and I felt from the beginning like they were genuinely interested in helping each individual agent succeed not only within their brokerage and the industry, but in life. I recommend -
