CMSI was initially established in 2003 in Toronto, Canada. The success of the Company was immediate. Expansion to Vancouver, British Columbia followed shortly thereafter when CMSI's Western Canada operations merged with Bancwest Pacific forming CMSI Pacific. The Company continued to grow and expand and began a third office in Montreal, Quebec - Hypothèques CMSI and most recently into Edmonton, Alberta with CMSI Alberta Inc.

This national representation allows CMSI to serve its clients and investors on both a national and local basis. As an independently owned, national organization, CMSI is able to search the entire mortgage community without bias or prejudice for the best financing solutions for its clients and investors. CMSI are experts in arranging numerous types of financing solutions - from permanent financing to construction loans and mezzanine debt. CMSI has successfully placed financing in a variety of forms in all sectors of the real estate market. The CMSI team analyzes each transaction individually to determine the best approach to financing. CMSI recognizes that it is building its reputation one transaction at a time and therefore provides all of its clients, large or small, with the attention and detail they deserve.

CMSI also recognizes that the fundamental part of any business is people and long term relationships. CMSI focuses on maintaining solid relationships with an extensive network of investors and lenders. It is these relationships that provide the framework for CMSI to market transactions and achieve industry leading results. CMSI is renown in the investment community for representing quality transactions and serious players in the real estate market. These relationships, reputation and expertise allow CMSI to manage the mortgage placement process through to funding in a smooth and efficient manner. We believe strongly in the old adage that reputations take entire careers to build.

The greatest testament to CMSI's capabilities is its extensive and proven track record. Having placed approximately $6.0 billion in mortgage financing since its inception, CMSI has clearly established itself as Canada's premier independent mortgage brokerage and advisory firm.
