Marcus Tzaferis is a native Torontonian who has never forgotten his European roots. He possesses a relentless passion that wholly reflects an upbringing steeped in Greek tradition. And it is this passion that has made Marcus one of the most sought out and effervescent people in the Canadian mortgage industry. He eats, sleeps and breathes mortgages.

Marcus' foray into the industry began humbly enough with his enrollment at Wilfrid Laurier University where he majored in Economics and Finance. He graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration, with Honours, which led to a position with the Investment Banking Division of a major Canadian bank as an Equity Research Associate.

In 2002 Marcus joined Morcan Financial as the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. While at Morcan Financial, Marcus worked closely with various lenders to build brand recognition and strengthen relationships. His ability to develop strong reciprocal relationships allowed him to help various lenders craft mortgage products that catered not only to the mortgage broker channel, but to the needs of both the homeowner and the investor. Notably, Marcus has been awarded Broker of the Year from the company every year since he started.

In less than a decade, Marcus has been able to cultivate a mortgage portfolio that has helped Morcan Financial, now known as MorCan Direct, achieve a portfolio of approximately $1.75 billion dollars in residential and commercial mortgage origination. Though diligence and hard work played a part in this achievement, Marcus' gregarious, gracious and warm approach has also been extremely important in his success.

With his education and knowledge of the industry, Marcus past achievements also include joining the faculty of Seneca College as a professor of the Mortgage Broker Program, winning the Top 100 Broker award from national mortgage lenders for several years running. He also remains an active participant and member of the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals.

And with his highly touted monthly newsletters and open seminars at a variety of locations, including the National Home Show and the Financial Forum; Marcus Tzaferis has firmly established himself in the top 1% of Mortgage Brokers in Canada. Because of this he regularly appears on CBC The National and CP24, where his opinions on the Canadian mortgage industry are highly regarded.
