Our team

Better people make better lending

We lend billions of dollars to commercial real estate projects every year. But it’s not just capital that distinguishes us. It’s the empowered nature of our workforce. Our advisors are experienced experts whose sole focus is to deliver financing strategies that enable you to achieve greater success.

Our Better Lending culture – three decades in the making – is built on the skill that comes from pure mortgage lending. Because we start from a position of knowledge about you, your project, and your market, we can design solutions that are fit for your purpose. And because accountability is in our nature, we meet our commitments.

Better by design, better by nature, better for you in every corner of the country.

Contributor. Ambitious. Intuitive.

“I add value by using my funding knowledge to close deals quickly and smoothly while always communicating effectively with clients.”

Adriana became a part of the First National team four years ago. She began as a Funding Specialist before moving into her current role as Analyst. Using the knowledge she gained in her funding role, Adriana is able to address issues efficiently when they arise. Curious and dedicated to constant learning, she is ambitious in her desire to grow, evolve as a professional and gain ongoing knowledge. Building strong relationships is a key focus for Adriana, and she prides herself on having foresight to think strategically and execute proactively.

When she’s not adding value for First National borrowers, Adriana dabbles in the confectionary arts, follows international chefs, stays fit and enjoys travel.
