Gillian Irving describes herself as an "accidental investor"-a characterization rooted in her 2009 purchase of a downtown Toronto duplex made with minimal forethought. Recognizing that her initial success relied more on fortune than planning, she underwent a significant transformation. Motivated by the need to secure her disabled son's future alongside three other children, she abandoned what she calls an "H&P" (hope & pray) approach and became a disciplined real estate student.
Leveraging her professional background as a market research analyst, Gillian developed a systematic, data-driven investment methodology. This analytical foundation enabled her to acquire 35 properties across Southern Ontario within 18 months through careful market assessment, rigorous deal evaluation, and strategic financing-not speculation or intuition.
As a mortgage agent with LendCity, Gillian applies this same analytical precision to client financing solutions. Her dual experience as both investor and professional lender positions her uniquely to comprehend clients' objectives and facilitate structures aligned with their circumstances. She provides investor-focused mortgage solutions spanning Canada, the United States, and Mexico, grounded in portfolio management experience and proven evaluation frameworks.
