Speaker Showcase:
Josh Pike is a Commercial Insurance Broker specializing in real estate investors, developers, and property portfolios across Ontario, and is also an active real estate investor himself. He works closely with property management firms, construction companies, and mortgage brokers, giving him a broad view of how deals are structured, built, and managed. With a background as a teacher, he brings a structured, analytical approach to helping clients understand risk, not just place coverage. His value lies in making complex insurance simple, from new policy setup to renewals, so clients can make clear, confident decisions. He focuses on aligning coverage with how properties are owned, financed, and operated, helping protect cash flow, manage liability, and avoid surprises as portfolios grow.
