Mortgage Broker/Father/VW Enthusiast

Chris Horrocks, BCom

I’ve been mortgage brokering with the Personal Mortgage Group since the summer of 2010, and there is nothing else I would rather be doing. Hamilton has been home for most of my life and I continue to enjoy the many opportunities and experiences this city and surrounding areas have to offer. My interests vary depending on the time of year, but one thing that stays constant is my family: my wife, Jenn, and my two sons, Zack and Maks.

Fun Facts: 

• I was an avid member of the Couchsurfing community and have hosted people from all over the world – and surfed myself. The highlight couch for me was a week on the island of Rarotonga of the Cook Islands. Travel has always been important to me with one of my life goals to visit 30 countries by the time I turned 30.
• My girlfriend at the time—now wife—and I were lucky enough to experience the Skydome literally shake when Jose Bautista hit his now infamous bat flip home run. That was fun and a little scary too!
• I continue to play competitive soccer every week even though my body isn’t holding up as well as it was in my 20s. Position: Keeper. Save opponent team goals! Save you mortgage interest! It’s the same, right?

 One of the best parts of my job is building long term relationships with PMG clients. Although the process of applying and obtaining a mortgage isn’t necessarily considered “fun”, I hope to make it an experience that is informative, encouraging, and enjoyable.
