Renée Huse is the owner of Spire Mortgage Team in Calgary, powered by Mortgage Architects. With more than eight years experience as a mortgage broker and over two decades as a real estate investor, she brings both technical expertise and lived
experience to every client she serves. Over the course of her career, Renée has completed 35 personal real estate transactions and funded more than 1,800 mortgages for Canadian families, small business owners, and investors.
Her team has garnered over 360 five-star reviews on Google, setting a standard of excellence in supporting every client.
Her path into mortgages was far from typical. After a decade in commodity trading during Alberta’s oil and gas boom, Renée transitioned into real estate and discovered how financial literacy could change the course of a life. She has
been a staunch advocate for it ever since, working to help clients make confident, informed choices about their financial futures.

down on what they do well.
Outside of work, Renée is happiest outdoors on skis or her bike, with her three kids and husband, finding joy in the everyday moments that matter most.
