Ep.105 | Inside RiverRock MIC: Nick Kyprianou

Описание: In this final episode from The Canadian Mortgage Summit, hosts Neal Andreino and Ryan MacNeil sit down with Nick Kyprianou, CEO & Founder of RiverRock MIC, to unpack nearly four decades of mortgage industry experience.

Nick shares how he helped grow Home Trust from $200 million to $17 billion, how he built RiverRock into one of Ontario’s most disciplined private lenders, and what today’s market can learn from the brutal housing downturn of the early ’90s.

From 24-hour turnaround times to an aggressive but empathetic approach to arrears, Nick explains why RiverRock’s “bad things happen to good people” philosophy continues to define its success, and what brokers and investors should prepare for in the years ahead.
