Claire founded The Lion's Share Group Inc. in 2010 in order to share her methodology with others in her industry, with the main goal of assisting mortgage agents in capturing the “Lion’s Share” of the mortgage market in Canada.

Born in England, Claire's entrepreneurial spirit and a sense for adventure led her to move to Tenerife, Canary Islands for twelve years before coming to Canada in 1998. It is in Calgary that she became a successful Mortgage Agent. Claire subsequently moved over to the lending side of the business holding Business Development positions at two National mortgage lenders before a promotion moved her and her family to Toronto in 2006. As the Director of Broker Origination, her key responsibilities included managing a growing sales team across the country. Her energy, enthusiasm and a strong ability to add value helped drive corporate goals and meet their objectives. After moving back to the broker side of the business as Regional Vice President, Eastern Ontario and Atlantic Region for a National Brokerage, Claire’s entrepreneurial spirit once again took over as she decided to step back into her broker shoes as a Mortgage Agent in Oakville, Ontario.

Claire has many years of experience in our industry from both perspectives – as an Agent and a lender. Claire is a very successful Mortgage Agent in Ontario, having increased her originations by more than 100% per year since she put her agent hat back on 6 years ago and is ranked in the top 1% nationally with her brokerage, for both number of mortgages and total volume as an individual. Claire has used this experience to grow a successful team of agents herself, and create unique programs for mortgage professionals that are both proven and easily duplicated.

 Chris Nichilo - Founder of Magnetic Mortgages and Investing Inc. (Buying Down Rates).

Chris launched a company known today as Magnetic Mortgages and Investing Inc., that has brokered well over a quarter of a billion dollars worth of mortgage loans for Canadian families since inception. Chris has made his true mark in the mortgage arena with a proprietary mortgage payoff acceleration strategy called "The Method" which teaches Canadians how to build equity in their homes up to 5 times faster than normal using the same money.  In 2009, a collection of those who had been touched, moved, and inspired by The Method, became curious about what other parts of their personal finance portfolio were under performing, and what solutions were available. Finding a reliable solution for this widespread problem would become the newest mission of Chris and his company.   It’s a very impressive success story in a short period of time.  Chris has been responsible for successfully helping its clientele invest over $15,000,000 into private mortgages.

To date, investors have average a fixed annual return on investment of over 8% per year, with zero loss of capital.  Chris’ brokerage has quickly evolved into a larger organization committed to education and giving as a means of building quality relationships with Canadian consumers.

​The brand has become a trusted, dependable resource for powerful personal finance information that can make a positive and lasting impact on every Canadian’s two biggest assets, their time and their money.
