Hi, I'm Cheryl Wilkes.
I've been helping Alberta homebuyers, homeowners, and investors navigate the mortgage process since 2008, and one thing I've learned over the years is that no two clients—and no two mortgages—are exactly alike.
Whether you're buying your first home, renewing your mortgage, refinancing to achieve new financial goals, or growing an investment property portfolio, my job is to help you understand your options and make confident decisions along the way.
What I enjoy most about this industry is helping people create a plan. Not everyone is ready to buy today, and that's okay. Sometimes the best mortgage advice is helping someone understand the steps needed to reach their goals and building a strategy to get there.
As a mom of two boys, I think a lot about the example I'm setting every day. I want them to see that success comes from treating people well, doing the right thing even when it's not the easiest option, and always putting honesty and education first. Those same values guide how I work with my clients and have helped me build a business based largely on repeat clients, referrals, and long-term relationships.
One of the things I love most about this business is becoming a trusted resource for families throughout their homeownership journey. While helping clients secure a mortgage today is important, my goal has always been to be the person they can turn to whenever they need mortgage advice in the future. From a first home purchase to a renewal, refinance, investment property, or even helping their children buy a home years down the road, I believe great mortgage advice extends far beyond a single transaction. Some of my greatest compliments come from clients who return years later—or refer their friends and family—because they know they have someone in their corner when they need guidance.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my straightforward approach and ability to explain complex mortgage concepts in plain language. I believe informed clients make better decisions, which is why education remains a big part of how I work. I'm also a firm believer that the mortgage process doesn't have to feel intimidating or overwhelming. Buying a home, refinancing, or making major financial decisions can be stressful, but that doesn't mean the experience has to be. One of the things I enjoy most is helping clients feel comfortable, confident, and even have a few laughs along the way. My goal is to create a five-star experience where clients feel supported, informed, and genuinely excited about what's ahead.
Over the years, I've helped more than 1,500 Alberta families, homeowners, and investors achieve their homeownership and financial goals and have been consistently recognized among the top 5% of mortgage professionals within the Dominion Lending Centres network.
