Lucas Fernandes Moreau, a commercial mortgage broker at JFM Capital, has been a member in Sainte-Julie for more than two years.
“I help real estate developers and investors bring their projects to life all across Quebec.”
From the land to the financing
Construction, acquisitions, refinancing: sometimes Lucas follows a project from the search for land all the way to long-term financing. He works with his uncle and his cousin in a family firm, and he puts it simply: “I can't help smiling at every project I drive past on Quebec's roads.”
Starting out in a basement
The beginnings were less glamorous.
“At first, I worked in my cousin's basement. That didn't stop us from having an impact on apartment towers across the province.”
What finally got them moving fits in one sentence, and it sums up life as an entrepreneur working from home better than anything: “We got tired of having lunch between Pikachu and Lego.”
Four days a week at the office
Today, Lucas is at the office four days a week on average.
“I've come to enjoy going to the office, having a healthy routine and a dedicated space where I can focus.”
More than four walls
What he values goes well beyond the office itself. An actuary, an insurance broker, a team of engineers: people he would never have met otherwise.
“Hedhofis isn't just the Hedhofis team. It's all the professionals working in the same environment.”
Thank you, Lucas. Quotes translated from French.
