Hi, I'm William Vanderlaan.
Your Local Bay of Quinte Mortgage Expert
More than a Mortgage Professional
I’m married with kids, and when I’m not working you’ll usually find me with my family — fishing on the water or the ice, getting competitive over boardgames or just enjoying time together as a family.
I’ve purchased, built, and operated small businesses, which has shaped how I think about work, risk, and long-term planning. It’s taught me to be resourceful, patient, and realistic about what it takes to build something.
I’m naturally curious about markets, money, and how decisions compound over time. I spend a fair amount of time reading, thinking, and trying to understand things beyond the surface level and how they play out in day-to-day life.
Born and raised in the region, I'm proud to call the Bay of Quinte home.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to be deeply involved in real estate and entrepreneurship — building & renovating homes, completing residential and commercial real estate transactions, starting and growing small businesses, and working across residential, commercial, and agricultural construction projects.
These experiences have given me a broad perspective and a practical, real-world understanding of how mortgage financing fits into people’s lives and the long-term value of a proper plan.
Working as a mortgage agent at Hewbrook Incorporated Mortgage Brokers - a local mortgage brokerage that has served the Quinte region for over 45 years - my focus is on providing clear advice, thoughtful options, and practical solutions while helping clients feel informed and confident about their decisions.
Whether you’re buying your first home, thinking through debt consolidation and budgeting, or considering a rental or vacation property, I’m here to help you find options and solutions that serve you best. My goal is to be a trusted mortgage professional for life — someone you can turn to whenever lending or planning questions come up.
