Profile
James De Vuyst began his mortgage career in 2010 following the completion of a Bachelor of Commerce with dual majors in finance and marketing. He spent his formative years working alongside one of the industry’s most respected brokers before joining the Verico network in 2014, where he quickly earned recognition as a rising star within the profession.
In 2019, De Vuyst founded Team De Vuyst Mortgage Professionals through Verico Paragon Mortgage, a reflection of his conviction that Canadians deserve a level of mortgage advisory that matches the rigour and personalization of private banking. That philosophy remains the cornerstone of everything his team does: ensuring clients are equipped with a thorough understanding of the mortgage process, economic trends, market conditions, and the regulatory landscape that shapes their financial decisions.
With over 16 years of industry experience, De Vuyst has built a practice anchored in long-term strategic thinking, whether guiding first-time buyers, structuring rental portfolios, or executing sophisticated investment strategies. His depth of knowledge and unwavering commitment to client outcomes have established him as a trusted authority in the Canadian mortgage space.

Milestones
“At this stage in my career, I’m not trying to impress clients with technical language. I’m focused on helping them make better decisions”
William Chan,
Modern Vision Planning, Sterling Mutuals Inc.
“A message is only as strong as the receiver’s ability to understand it. Good intent isn’t enough if the client can’t clearly see the benefits and trade-offs”
