At DLC Mortgage Excellence, we do things differently. We don’t just close deals—we build a community. And if there’s one event that embodies everything we stand for, it’s our Annual General Meeting (AGM). This isn’t just another corporate gathering with stale coffee and monotone PowerPoints. Oh no, this is the Super Bowl of mortgage brokerage get-togethers (minus the $7 million commercials, but we do have some bad-ass trophies).

Why Our AGM is Special

DLCME isn’t your typical local brokerage—we’re licensed coast to coast, from BC to Ontario, which means our AGM is the one time a year where everyone from across the country flies, drives, or maybe even hitchhikes in to hang out and have an unforgettable time. This event is about more than just business; it’s about connection, camaraderie, and a little bit of healthy competition (we’ll get to the bowling in a second).

Community & Relationships: The Heart of DLCME

One of our core values is Community and Relationships—and let’s be honest, Zoom calls can only do so much. Our AGM is where agents, staff, and lender partners finally get to connect in real life. And because we believe in making this a family affair, spouses are invited too! Because let’s face it, they deserve to see where all the long hours, phone calls, and deal-closing excitement actually happens.

Friday Night Fun: Bowling, Trophies, and a Whole Lot of Below-Average Athletes

Let’s talk about Friday night. We go all-in on fun before we get down to business. This year, we’re going bowling. That’s right—the sport that most of us haven’t played since a 7-year-old’s birthday party. There will be strike celebrations, dramatic gutter ball moments, and at least one person taking the game way too seriously. And let’s not forget the trophies. We take our fun seriously, and that means the best bowlers (or maybe the most entertaining ones) will walk away with some hardware.

Saturday: Learning, Awards, and an All-Out Celebration

Once we’ve recovered from our athletic endeavors (or lack thereof), Saturday is all about growth, recognition, and inspiration. The day kicks off with our official AGM meeting, featuring top-tier guest speakers, industry insights, and a look at where we’re headed next.

Then comes the main event: Awards Night. This is where we celebrate our rockstar brokers with categories like:

  • Top Number of Clients Served – Because making an impact matters.
  • Top Funded Mortgage Volume – The ones who absolutely crushed it this year.
  • Rookie of the Year – The new kid who came in swinging.
  • And many more!

After the awards? An amazing dinner, endless drinks, and an evening of celebration. Because let’s be real—our team is one of the best in the country, and we deserve to party like it.

A Top 6 Brokerage in Canada? Yeah, We’re Going to Celebrate That.

Not to toot our own horn, but… okay, we’re absolutely tooting it. DLCME is officially a Top 6 brokerage across all of Dominion Lending Centres in Canada. That’s not just impressive—it’s something worth celebrating.

A Night for Everyone

At the end of the day, our AGM is so much more than just a meeting. It’s a time for our agents, their spouses, our industry partners (banks, lenders, and more) to come together and celebrate everything we’ve built together. DLCME isn’t just a brokerage—it’s a family. And this event? It’s our family reunion—only with better food, fancier outfits, and a lot more high-fives.

So here’s to another incredible year, another unforgettable AGM, and another step toward making DLCME the best place to be a mortgage broker in Canada. Let’s go!
