EXCELLENCE AWARDEE:
The Centum Financial Award for
Young Achiever of the Year
Achiever of the Year, has her own book of business while leading a team of seven newer agents.
Among that team, she helped one of her mentees fund $10 million in their first year. And that’s just for starters. She has set a goal for next year to help these younger agents to even greater personal success through continued education, training, and mentoring.
By the numbers alone, she will have a lot of success anecdotes and lessons to pass along to her team.
Her 2022 funded dollar volume was $63,333,952, while her number of funded deals that year was 90. Her year-over-year growth has been 60 loans.
Prior to her broker career, she worked as a corporate tax manager with Ernst & Young in Shanghai, China, for 10 years. She moved to Canada with her two young children in 2016. She writes that her “passion for mortgages has even influenced my eldest son, who is only 14.”
She credits much of her growth to embracing ongoing education. She has watched hundreds of training videos, listened to a wide range of podcasts, and attended my real estate investment courses, while also keeping in close contact with lender partners. Doing her homework has paid off, making her a specialist in financing income properties.
She utilizes a combination of strategic real estate financing advice, sophisticated deal structuring solutions and an in-depth knowledge of money tools and capital structures to grow an investment portfolio. Through this method, she has helped numerous real estate investors in her community kickstart their investment plans and take their portfolios to the next level – all while carefully managing risk.
By offering reliable mortgage solutions, Zhou has gained a substantial amount of new business. 90% of her new clients come from successful past investor referrals who value her professional advice to help them grow their real estate portfolios.
Her expertise and desire to educate has attracted a lot of attention. She has been invited by well-known investor groups and realtor brokerages to provide regular mortgage and real estate updates.
Another avenue Zhou uses to connect with potential clients is through online videos. In 2022, she partnered up with a real estate YouTuber in her community to create a series of videos for real estate investors. Once the videos were published, the YouTuber’s channel gained more subscribers, and Zhou’s content was shared as an endorsement, helping her gain numerous leads.
Zhou also understands the importance of giving back. She supports the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and donates monthly to a young woman in rural China, so that she can complete her high school education there.
Andrea is an Employee Learning and Development professional with two years of experience who is passionate about using her skills to implement innovative and pioneering HR initiatives to drive a culture of professional development. Her strengths lay in people and relationship management, critical thinking and delivering behaviour change projects with an innovative twist. She has been responsible for introducing compliance learning tailored to our significantly diverse employee base of over 12,000 and using her skills to create engagement for and roll out of 'Altogether Autism & Neurodiversity awareness programme at The Warehouse Group. She has shifted the way our team engages with learning, cultivating a continuous learning and development culture specific to their journey.
