Behind the Scenes at LendCity: Career and Culture

In this episode of The Wisdom, Lifestyle, Money Show, host Scott Dillingham shares insights into working at LendCity Mortgages, highlighting opportunities amid job losses from layoffs, closures, and mandates.

Scott emphasizes a fun, politics-free culture with dedicated departments: Sales for client options, admin for fast processing, social media/marketing for education, commercial for specialized lending, and head office for compliance.

He discusses unique perks like profit-sharing for salaried staff, community events (e.g., golf tournaments, snow shoveling, gift baskets), and team outings (e.g., limo bus light tours)—fostering collaboration and rewards.

For sales roles: Access to multiple lenders provides flexibility (e.g., options beyond declines), full-time underwriters ensure quick approvals, and educational platforms (seminars, podcasts, articles) build trust and leads.

Hiring focus: Experienced mortgage agents/brokers ($10M+ annual volume) for speed/service; contrasts with single-lender limitations, enabling better client outcomes.

In 2025, Canada's mortgage brokerage sector sees 60% renewals (wave of refinancing), market growth to USD 989M (4.92% CAGR), shorter-term fixed popularity amid uncertainty, and emphasis on consumer protection—boosting demand for versatile brokers, per FSRA, Mordor Intelligence, and MPA Mag.

This episode invites career seekers while revealing LendCity's client-first, supportive environment in Ontario's 2025 economy.
