About Glengarry Farm Finance
Glengarry Farm Finance Corporation is an alternative agricultural mortgage lender providing complex, time-sensitive financing solutions to farming operations across Ontario and Western Canada.

This position requires a professional with substantial experience in commercial mortgage funding or commercial real estate transactions within a bank, credit union, monoline lender, private lender, or commercial real estate law environment — provided that experience includes direct responsibility for transaction execution and security.
