Brendan McKay, VP, Membership 
Owner and Sr. Loan Officer, McKay Mortgage Company

To put it simply, Brendan McKay is passionate about mortgages. Having dedicated his career to the mortgage industry, he finds purpose in educating his borrowers and demystifying the opaque mortgage financing process. With nearly 10 years of diverse industry experience, Brendan creates innovative financing solutions and optimal home ownership strategies tailored to each borrower.

​In the past three years, Brendan has funded over $55M in residential mortgage loans. He has built a successful referral-based business by treating people honestly, providing the highest level of service, and helping his borrowers make confident decisions on their future. Brendan has embraced changes in technology to streamline and improve the mortgage financing experience, while still recognizing the importance of meeting with his clients in person.

Before transitioning to loan origination, Brendan worked in the underwriting and closing departments at two leading residential mortgage lenders. He also spent three years as a financial planner. This unique knowledge base helps him understand a borrower’s entire financial picture, propose optimal financing options, and most importantly get the loan to closing in a smooth and timely manner. His clients benefit from his deep technical understanding of residential mortgage lending guidelines differentiating him from many loan officers.

Prior to launching the McKay Mortgage Company, Brendan was a Branch Manager at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, after working his way up from Customer Service Manager to Loan Officer. Along with mortgages, Brendan is passionate about DC sports (most notably the Washington Wizards) and spending time with his family and friends. He is active in the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce and a number of DC Metro-based networking groups.
