Renée Huse, founder of Spire Mortgage Team, has spent the last eight years building a business designed for scale, and she’s aiming to fund 1,000 deals by the end of 2027. But in her own words, that’s probably the least interesting thing about her.

Renée is here because she’s obsessed with designing businesses that run themselves. She believes the real win in entrepreneurship isn’t just growth, it’s building systems that let you focus on what you do best. That’s the philosophy she’s built her own team around, and it’s what she now teaches other brokers to do. Over the past year, Renée has coached and mentored mortgage professionals across Canada to stop drowning in the day-to-day, get clear on their strengths, and scale with intention and control. Her straight-talk approach cuts through the noise, showing brokers exactly how to create structure that unlocks both income and freedom. She shares practical, hard-won lessons with honesty, humour, and zero fluff. If you’re ready to simplify, systemize, and scale, you won’t want to miss her at the CMBA-BC 2026 Conference.
