Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Passionate. Communicative. Collaborative.

“I add value by combining my passion for real estate with my professional and personal industry knowledge to elevate the Montreal market through successful client growth.” <

Nicolas joined the First National team in May 2023, after four years in an analyst role at a banking institution. His passion for real estate inspires his drive to fuel clients’ growth and the continued revival of the Montreal market. Nicolas believes that forthright communication is vital to strong relationships. A committed team player, Nicolas always looks for opportunities to collaborate and share ideas. He is a real estate owner himself, so he intuitively understands the need for response, urgency and transparency.

When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Nicolas golfs in the summer, skis in the winter and manages his personal real estate portfolio.
