Jaskolka says, “By reimagining how the private mortgage market operates, we’ve created a trusted, technology-driven platform that connects investors seeking compelling fixed income alternatives with borrowers in need of flexible financing.”
His approach centres on balancing growth with integrity, structuring each mortgage thoughtfully while safeguarding the interests of both borrowers and investors. This philosophy reflects mature business leadership, as he recognizes that sustainable success requires mutual trust.
Jaskolka believes communication starts with listening, employing a transparent and collaborative approach that builds trust and delivers clarity at every stage. This philosophy permeates CMI’s culture, creating an organization where open dialogue and genuine collaboration guide every client interaction.
CMI’s target market – borrowers underserved by traditional lenders who face credit setbacks, are self-employed, or have non-traditional income – demonstrates Jaskolka’s commitment to meaningful social impact alongside business success.
“My approach is transparent and collaborative, focused on building trust and delivering clarity at every stage,” he explains. “I make it a priority to communicate honestly, explain complex concepts in plain language, and ensure clients feel heard, informed, and supported throughout the process.”
As CMI explores international expansion, including recent entry into the US market, Jaskolka’s vision extends beyond national borders. He aspires to leave a legacy of a more modern, professional, and ethical private mortgage industry, built on standardized processes, transparency, and accessibility.
