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.

Determined. Clearsighted. Attentive.
“I add value by listening actively to understand both my clients’ and team’s needs and then I develop action plans to deliver quality quickly.”
Sami joined the First National team in 2023, having spent four years working in residential and commercial mortgages. Determined with a focus on long-term goals, Sami is clear on what he wants to achieve and builds a plan to guide how he executes. He believes that great listening combined with due diligence and proper analysis are critical to understanding his specific priorities in helping to mitigate risk and close transactions seamlessly. A team player by nature, Sami prides himself on being easy to work with and staying committed to achieving common goals.
When he’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Sami indulges his inner foodie at new restaurants (shawarma is a fave!), stays active playing basketball, swimming and perfecting his golf game and unwinds up north at the cottage.
