Patience Yoka - Client Since Three Years

From First-Time Buyer to Long-Term Wealth Builder

“He Made Me Feel Like a Millionaire — Before I Even Had the Millions 💸.”

How one client’s first mortgage became the start of a long-term, wealth-building relationship across provinces, platforms, and possibilities.

🧩 The Challenge

💬 Mindset: "I just need a mortgage."

Like many first-time buyers, she viewed the mortgage process as a one-time transaction, not a long-term strategy.

Her goal was simple: secure financing and move in.

There was no expectation of guidance, follow-up, or long-term planning.

🏦 Pre-approved offer from BMO

Patience came into the conversation with an existing mortgage deal from a big bank.

The rate was competitive — making it seem like the “job was done.”

🚧 Trust barriers and skepticism

Patience was initially skeptical of the "Level Up" philosophy — she wondered, “What more can a mortgage advisor do beyond the deal?”

The idea of a long-term wealth-building relationship felt abstract and unfamiliar.

❓ Lack of clarity and confidence

She had multiple questions about the buying process but no one to turn to for trustworthy, personal answers.

Traditional lenders left her feeling alone and overwhelmed — the human side was missing.

 

🌱 Hidden potential

What Patience didn’t know yet:

  • Her journey would span multiple deals across provinces

  • She would evolve from a homebuyer to a strategic investor

  • And most importantly — she would build a mindset of abundance, clarity, and confidence

"She thought it was about getting a loan. What she really needed was a guide."

 

🧠 The Mindset Shift

Patience didn’t just buy a home — she bought into a vision.

  • 💬 “Do you want to save $7 a month… or build a 25-year journey of leveling up?”
    This was the question that reframed everything.

  • 💭 She realized this wasn’t about chasing the lowest rate.
    It was about aligning with someone who saw her long-term potential — not just her current deal.

  • 🤝 Trust began with transparency, education, and personalized attention

  • Grew into a relationship that spanned years and provinces.

🛠️ The Strategy

Here’s how we went far beyond a simple mortgage:

 

📍 2. Multi-Province Portfolio Building

  • Started with her first property

  • Then supported deals in:

    • 🏔️ British Columbia

    • 🏙️ Calgary

    • 🏘️ Montreal

🔍 1. Competitive Rate + Value-Driven Service

  • Matched (and even beat) the BMO rate

  • But layered in full-service support, including:

  • Educational videos on demand

  • Strategic planning for refinancing and reinvestment

  • Real-time responsiveness and full availability (even years later!)

💡 3. Long-Term Wealth Strategy

  • Talked about:

    • Exit from the 9-to-5

    • Using real estate as a wealth-building tool

    • Leveraging equity and refinancing to build a future beyond just ownership

  • Shifted her vision from a “buyer” to an owner, investor, and future leader

💬 The Client's Voice..

 

“With a traditional bank, it would have just been a transaction. With you, it’s a relationship.”

“He made me feel like a millionaire — before I even had the millions.”

“He doesn't owe me this, but he chooses to show up. Every time.”

“It’s been 3–4 years and he still answers the phone, still sends videos, still invites me to real estate events. That’s Leveling Up.”

 
 

The Outcome

  • 💯 A lifelong client relationship built on trust, support, and vision

  • 🧳 A growing multi-province real estate portfolio

  • 📈 Transformed from first-time buyer to savvy wealth strategist

  • 🔁 Continued engagement, mentorship, and collaboration years after the first deal

Patience now stands as a role model — not just for buyers, but for future investors with big dreams and bigger goals.
