Committed to providing debt
solutions to hotel owners.

Salim graduated from Business School at the University of Victoria and then successfully worked as a hotel appraiser before working for a national lender as an underwriter and then an account manager.

In 2012, Salim launched the hotel mortgage brokerage division at Clifton Blake Realty Advisors and ultimately grew the team that was successful in arranging financing from coast to coast.

After nine years with Clifton Blake Realty Advisory, Salim launched ICON Capital Corp. with Jason Wight, AACI, which is a client focused mortgage brokerage that specializes in hotels, seniors living, self-storage, and student housing.

Salim has worked with both owner-operators and multinational companies across Canada and the US. With his rich background and in-depth knowledge, Salim is able to expertly analyze a transaction and provide specific guidance to both clients and lenders. The lending community appreciates working with Salim and the team that he heads given their in-depth knowledge and the feedback that they give on each deal, particularly since lenders are often not well versed in the “niche” industries of hotels, seniors living, self-storage, and student housing. Clients value knowing that Salim is always working to secure them the best deal available, even if it is with the existing lender or based on a direct relationship that the client has. The end goal is always to get the best deal for the client.
