Dan Liao

Mortgage Development Manager

National Bank

With over 15 years of experience at National Bank of Canada, I am a seasoned Mortgage Specialist committed to providing thoughtful, client-centered service. I specialize in tailoring mortgage solutions to meet the unique needs of a wide range of clients, with particular expertise in assisting healthcare professionals and first-time homebuyers.

My in-depth knowledge of mortgage products, lending regulations, and financing strategies allows me to guide clients through every stage of the home financing process with clarity and confidence. I also work extensively with experienced real estate investors, including those managing portfolios of up to 40 residential units, whether held personally or through corporate entities.

I take pride in building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and sound financial advice. My goal is to ensure each client feels informed, supported, and empowered as they make important decisions about homeownership or real estate investment.
