“We believe that people are at the heart of what we do and we’re here to help our customers as best we can,” says Sheldon Ward and Trevor Sodergren, Partners and Officers of Broker Age Corporation. “BrokerLink’s purpose is aligned with ours and we trust that our customers will continue receiving exceptional service, while our employees will also benefit through opportunities to grow their careers within BrokerLink.”

Increasing our presence in Mississauga
