Bio Dave Butler comes from a family with deep roots in the Canadian Mortgage industry. His Father, Mother and Brother all work in the Family Brokerage, Butler Mortgage.   Dave began his Mortgage Broker career back in 2002 at the age of 23 years old and it didn't take long for him to make his mark, winning the 'Rookie of the Year' award and having the highest first year volume ever recorded at the time. From there he has never looked back, racking up Trophies and Awards as one the Nation's Top Mortgage Brokers, culminating in him being named Canada's #1 Mortgage Broker by volume four years in a row from 2017 to 2020.   Dave and his Family are regularly featured in the media as Canada's top Mortgage Experts including appearances on the CBC National Television program. Additionally, Dave has contributed to The Globe & Mail, The National Post, and The Toronto Star.  He is also a regular guest on AM1010's 'Simply Real Estate' show and on many popular podcasts relating to the Mortgage & Real Estate industries. In 2020 Dave and his childhood friend/business partner, Daniel Patton, created their own unique brand of Butler Mortgage called 'BM Select' that focuses on working with Clients that are looking for Strategic Planning and a more 'service-first' mortgage experience.  This has led to a Customer base made up of current and aspiring Real Estate Investors as well as many First-Time Buyers and clients that are working with BM Select approved Real Estate Agents and Partners. Starting in 2021, with Butler Mortgage being recognized as one of the top 'Lowest Interest Rate' brands in the Country and their BM Select brand leading the way in the 'Full Service/Planning' category, Dave Butler stepped away from his position as Lead Agent and moved into the President & CEO role, focusing on taking their two brands to the next level.   This episode proudly sponsored by BM Select - https://bmselect.ca  Are you looking to become a millionaire through real estate investing?
