Real Stories, Real Savings: How Volker from Surrey Used His Mortgage to Support His Family and Build a Brighter Financial Future

General Angela Calla 29 Apr

At the Angela Calla Mortgage Team, we’re more than just numbers—we’re about real people making real financial progress. One of those people is Volker, a long-time member of our mortgage family in Surrey, BC.

Volker first heard about our team while tuning in to The Mortgage Show on CKNW. Years later, when he needed to access equity from his home to help his son make a purchase, he reached out to us—not just for a transaction, but to ensure the entire decision aligned with his long-term financial plan.

His words say it best: “The difference between working with Angela’s team and my past experiences was night and day. I felt cared for, understood, and empowered to make decisions that help me get ahead—not just stay afloat.”

That’s the impact of continual mortgage management. It’s what we specialize in.

Unlike the traditional banking experience, our approach is rooted in personalized planning. We reviewed Volker’s equity options, ensured his solution matched his retirement goals, and supported his family’s next generation—without compromising his future.

 “This is exactly what Angela talks about in her best-selling book, The Mortgage Code—strategic decisions today that build financial resilience for tomorrow.”

Volker now encourages anyone exploring mortgage options to take the first step with us. Whether you’re refinancing, purchasing, or renewing, our goal is to create a mortgage strategy that fits your life—not the bank’s.
