Our Team

With Family Mortgage Planners, you can be confident that you’re working with real people who care about serving you well.

Family Mortgage Planners isn’t just a name

Family is how we operate.

As a true family-run team, we believe your mortgage deserves clear communication, honest advice, and guidance that looks out for your long-term well-being.

Many of our clients become repeat clients because we take the time to understand their goals, keep them consistently updated, and recommend what’s truly best — even if that means advising them to stay with their bank.

We’ve helped thousands of Canadians achieve the dream of homeownership. We look forward to serving you, too!

Meet the Family Behind Family Mortgage Planners

Mark Kostelyk

Mark Kostelyk

Founder & Licensed Mortgage Broker

Mark has been a licensed mortgage broker since 2002. What began as a new opportunity quickly became a career built around helping families accomplish one of life’s biggest milestones — homeownership.

Over the past two decades, Mark has helped hundreds of Edmonton and Sherwood Park homebuyers secure the right mortgage for their situation. His approach has always been steady and relationship-focused: clear explanations, honest advice, and guidance that looks beyond just the immediate rate to the long-term impact.

Clients often describe Mark as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. He is honored to have the trust of his clients that lasts well beyond the closing date.

Joel Kostelyk

Mortgage Broker

Joel is known for his professionalism, patience, and ability to navigate more complex situations with calm confidence. Whether working with tight timelines or unique financial circumstances, he approaches each file with thoroughness and care.

Clients appreciate his steady guidance and willingness to go the extra mile — sometimes literally — to ensure everything stays on track from application to funding.

Jonah Kostelyk - Mortgage Planner

Jonah Kostelyk

Mortgage Broker

Jonah brings a strong attention to detail and a proactive communication style to every file. Clients frequently mention how responsive he is — quick to answer questions, clarify options, and keep things moving smoothly.

He enjoys helping first-time buyers feel confident and informed, ensuring they understand every step of the process. His focus is simple: make the mortgage experience clear, organized, and stress-free.

Together, we’re here to help you navigate the mortgage process with a team you can trust every step of the way.

I’d recommend them to
anyone I know without hesitation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Family Mortgage Planners definitely delivered a 5 star experience. They went above and beyond, making this the easiest, most professional experience I had securing a mortgage. They were exceptionally friendly and very helpful in getting me the absolute best rate for my mortgage. I would, without hesitation, refer anyone I know to them for their services. Makes one get the true feeling of a family operated business and know your account matters to them.”

Why our Team Structure Matters

At Family Mortgage Planners, your mortgage is supported by our entire team, not just one person.

Many mortgage “teams” are simply individual brokers working under the same brand — each managing their own clients and files.

Because we work as a team, you get:

  • Multiple experts reviewing your file — helping catch details early and avoid surprises.
  • Collaborative problem-solving — we work together to find the best mortgage for your situation.
  • Faster responses — because you’re supported by a full team, not a single broker’s schedule.
  • Help when you need it — call, text, or email and someone is ready to jump in.

The result is a mortgage process that feels clearer, faster, and far less stressful — with a team that’s truly looking out for you.

Their approach is unbeatable.

“I’ve used Family Mortgage Planners several times now, and have recommended them to friends who have also utilized their services. They’re conscientious, friendly approach to what can be intimidating subjects is second to none, and what I appreciate most. Their ability to get great rates doesn’t hurt either. I will continue to emphatically recommend them, as well as use their services personally in the future.”
