• Analyze client credit profiles, financial circumstances, and debt servicing capacity to identify appropriate external lending options
• Collect, organize, and validate all required documentation to support client applications with external lenders, ensuring completeness and accuracy
• Develop business cases that articulate client situations and mortgage needs, positioning clients effectively with approved third-party lenders
• Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of external lenders' products, policies, terms, rates, and adjudication criteria to match clients with optimal solutions
• Structure external lending solutions by advising clients on product features, rates, terms, and conditions to ensure alignment with their transition goals and financial capacity
• Develop documented client transition strategies in partnership with clients, identifying realistic pathways back to traditional RBC financing and achieving financial goals
• Exercise sound judgment to match clients with the right approved third-party lender based on their unique situation and transition goals
• Make all mandatory disclosures regarding fees, interest rates, terms, and RBC compensation before referring clients
• Perform regular nurture calls throughout the client's mortgage term to track progress on their transition strategy and maintain the relationship
• Collaborate with Mortgage Specialists, Private Banking partners, and other RBC advisors to identify additional client financial needs and opportunities for repatriation
• Manage all client interactions, documentation, and file submissions with integrity, ensuring full compliance with RBC policies and regulatory requirements
• Proactively identify and action program maturity leads to bring qualified clients back to RBC for refinancing or mortgage renewal
