One window, one licensed office behind it
Thought to Keys is run by Asim Ali, a mortgage broker in Surrey, British Columbia, and his office at Dominion Lending Centres A.I.M.I. Collective Mortgage Group. The idea is simple: the mortgage broker is the only professional who is involved from the first conversation to funding, so that office is the natural coordinator for everyone else a buyer needs.
Asim Ali, Mortgage Broker
Asim Ali is licensed as a mortgage broker in British Columbia (BCFSA licence MB502104) and Alberta, and as a mortgage agent (Level 1) in Ontario (FSRA licence M22001566). He works from the brokerage's office in Surrey. His office arranges residential, construction, commercial and private financing through banks, credit unions, monoline lenders and private lenders, and has a long record with self-employed borrowers, construction and owner-builder files, and clients whose bank declined them.
Canadian Mortgage Professional magazine ranked him fourth, in a tie, on its Top 75 Brokers in Canada list for 2026, and the 2026 Canadian Mortgage Awards shortlisted him as an excellence awardee for Broker of the Year, Western Canada. The winners are announced on 25 November 2026. His main brokerage site is asimali.ca, where you can read client reviews and the full range of mortgage services.

How the window works
You start with one short enquiry. Asim Ali's office confirms which stage of the journey you are at, handles the mortgage side directly, and introduces you to the independent professional your next stage needs: a realtor, a lawyer or notary, a home inspector, an appraiser, an insurance advisor, a builder or an accountant. Each is introduced by name, with your consent, and you can decline any introduction or bring your own.
The professionals are not employees or agents of the brokerage. They are independent businesses, each licensed or regulated by their own body, each quoting their own fees directly to you.
