As I approach my second year with Scott Peckford and BRX Mortgage, I can confidently say it’s been an incredible journey. January 3, 2025, will mark two years since I joined the fastest-growing brokerage in Canada, and I’m excited to share what drew me to BRX—and what continues to keep me here.

What Brought Me to BRX Mortgage
Before joining BRX, I was part of a well-known network. It was filled with lovely people I really liked it there. Being at home with a new baby, the sense of community was comforting. But as the world shifted in 2020 and 2021, I started to question what I was getting from that traditional setup. Afterall I was next to never physically going into the office any longer.
We all remember the big pivot to virtual, right? But for me, I was already 100% digital, using my own systems for email, domain, and office space. I had even built my own website, www.portcreditmortgages.com, and managed my own CRM. So, what were those network and brokerage fees really covering for me?
That’s when BRX Mortgage entered the picture—and things clicked into place.

Why I’m Staying with BRX
One of the things I love most about BRX Mortgage is the value it offers agents beyond a desk or office space. At BRX, the desk fee covers marketing plans, blogs, and social media content, which is a huge help in running a solo, successful business. We’re not just agents under a brokerage—we’re encouraged to be independent business owners, and we’re given the tools and resources to generate our own leads and grow our brands. - If you rely on your brokerage for this I highly recommend giving me a call for your independence and your business success.
What sets BRX apart is the leadership. Scott and Denise are truly visionary, always coming up with new ways to help us grow and succeed. They are hands-on, accessible, and constantly looking for ways to improve. One of the best aspects of their leadership is their commitment to listening to the agents. At BRX, it’s not about one voice—it’s about many voices. Suggestions from agents are welcomed, considered, and often implemented, which creates a collaborative and dynamic environment. Funny enough Scott just texted me asking for input on a new launch coming this quarter.

Capped Commission & Earning Potential
Another huge draw for me is BRX’s capped commission structure. We never pay more than $15,000 per year in royalties, which is a fantastic deal compared to many other brokerages. BRX also offers agents the chance to coach or run courses and be compensated for it, adding another layer of earning potential. The focus is always on adding value, not just for the brokerage, but for the agents who help build it.
BRX is also one of the few brokerages with a built-in retirement plan, allowing agents to participate in revenue sharing and even have ownership in the brokerage. This forward-thinking approach means we’re not just working for today but building a future for ourselves as well. Not only that but it further encourages agents to give more to others, add value and share. A core value we all emulate.
A Collaborative Virtual Community
We’re a mostly virtual brokerage, which means we rely heavily on collaboration and connection. Our Zoom room is where we come together, but it’s the people who make it special. At BRX, we’re encouraged to share ideas, marketing materials, job aids, and templates. There’s a group chat where everyone contributes, and it’s incredible how much value we can provide to each other just by sharing what works.
My squad (or mini team) grows by about one agent or broker per month, and we love the community we’ve built. The culture at BRX is about uplifting one another and becoming better brokers by learning from each other. Everyone here is driven, positive, and focused on growth.

Looking Ahead
As I round my 21st month at BRX, I can honestly say it has transformed my business. The support, tools, and community here have helped me grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined when I first joined. I’m excited to see what 2025 holds for us as we continue to evolve and grow together.
