2022 is a very monumental year for One Link Mortgage. It is with immense pride that we celebrate our 20^th anniversary with our broker family, dedicated industry partners and valued clients.

Founders Nadine and Marty Coubrough started One Link Mortgage & Financial in the living room of their family home in 2002 with the vision of creating a community of brokers who were focused on always putting the client first. They set out to raise the bar in the industry with three guiding principles that are still the foundation of the brokerage today: professionalism, integrity and ethics. It is this commitment to these principles, combined with the tremendous experience of the One Link family of Mortgage Professionals that deserves the credit for where the brokerage is today. Current broker/owners Daryl Harris, Caily MacGregor and Shelley Stewart strive to uphold the core values the company was founded on and continue to support the agents within One Link so they in turn can make a difference in their clients’ lives.

One Link Mortgage has proudly grown from three Mortgage Professionals and the Coubrough’s living room to almost 40 brokers with locations in North and South Winnipeg, Stonewall, Selkirk, Steinbach and Winkler. The brokerage’s mission of helping people make their homeownership dreams a reality and focusing on delivering the best experience possible to their clients hasn’t changed since 2002. One Link Management works closely with their agents to educate them on the changes in the industry so they can provide clients with the best options and solutions. One Link prides itself on having an environment that supports continuous learning and growth as well as one that encourages the sharing of knowledge and experience.

One Link has been committed to the mortgage industry by being advocates for the broker channel and Canadian consumers since inception. Team members have taken on roles which have included Mortgage Professionals Canada (MPC) Director, MPC Chair, MPC’s Manitoba Chapter Members Committee, Manitoba Mastermind Founder, MPC Foundation Director and MPC’s Manitoba Broker Counsel. One Link Mortgage is also involved in the MPC Hill Day advocating at the federal level with Members of Parliament and Ministers to help share the struggles Canadian consumers are facing in today’s mortgage landscape.

Over the years, One Link Mortgage has focused on giving back to the community by supporting charities and raising awareness. Each year, One Link selects four charities, which focus on a wide range of causes, to support. One of the highlights for the team was working with VERICO Helping Hands to surprise a special young girl from the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, with a VIP trip to Toronto to watch her favourite hockey team, the Winnipeg Jets, play a game.

Over the past 20 years, One Link Mortgage has evolved with the ever-changing mortgage landscape by keeping up with government changes, industry requirements and technological advances. Throughout all of this, it has been the people within One Link that have been the catalyst for the company’s success. Both the company and its mortgage professionals have been recognized locally and nationally over the last two decades on many different fronts: from their efforts advocating for Canadian consumers, to professionalism in the industry, to top sales and for their charitable work to name just a few.

One Link Mortgage & Financial is looking forward to what the future holds and where the next twenty years will take them.
