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.

Team Kadoch

Curious. Attentive. Motivated.

Yohan has recently joined the First National team, bringing 10 years of experience in both residential and commercial mortgage financing. In his previous commercial role, he focused primarily on office, retail, shopping centres and industrial assets, which helped him develop a deep expertise in lease analysis and diverse cash flow analysis.

For Yohan, adding value means tapping his own wealth of precedents developed from vast exposure to different asset classes and scenarios. He believes that solid, productive relationships stem from a commitment to honesty and integrity. Naturally attentive, he focuses on exploring opportunities with his clients, advising on project approaches and making recommendations based on what he’s seen done. With a give and take mentality, Yohan’s professional relationships with clients often evolve organically into friendships based on the nature of their conversations and interactions.

Commercial real estate has always intrigued Yohan. And throughout his career so far, his curiosity and drive to learn have motivated him. He joined First National with a desire to diversify his expertise even further by leveraging the broad product line to service all of his clients’ needs. He also appreciates the balance between entrepreneurialism and structure, seeing First National as the perfect fit to enable his continued growth.

Working at First National, Yohan is excited to build his business within the growing First National business. The entrepreneurial nature of First National’s culture really appeals to him, resonates with his career aspirations and reignites his true passions – being able to be out there meeting people, having conversations and driving business.
