Karen McClean

Rooted in the Yukon. Committed to You.

Karen isn’t your typical mortgage broker, and she wouldn’t want to be. Living off-grid in the Mt. Lorne area with her husband and daughter (a fourth-generation Yukoner), Karen knows what it means to build a life in the North. From the quiet rhythms of rural living to the challenges of navigating the Yukon housing landscape, she brings firsthand experience, compassion, and a true boots-on-the-ground perspective to every mortgage she handles.

Her approach is simple: honest advice, tailored solutions, and a deep respect for the people and communities she serves.

With a background in client care and a passion for helping others thrive, Karen takes the time to understand your goals. Whether you’re buying your first home in Whitehorse, refinancing a cabin, or securing land for a future build, she’s here to help. No high-pressure sales. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just clear, steady support that keeps your best interests front and center.
