“As a first-time homebuyer, I was completely overwhelmed with the home-buying process. I reached out to Brennan at Firehouse Mortgage after hearing great reviews from a few close friends. Brennan gave me advice during this initial house hunting process, and when I finally found a house that fit the bill, he made every step from pre-approval through final closing so easy and stress-free. Brennan gave me realistic numbers for a mortgage that I could afford and even gave some tips on what to look out for when agreeing to the initial contract. When it came to submitting documents needed for the mortgage, Brennan broke everything down that I needed and kept in constant contact with updates. I knew that whenever I called with a question, he would answer. After closing, Brennan reached out to make sure I was happy with the house and even gave tips for maintenance on my first home. I highly recommend Brennan and his team at Firehouse Mortgage to anyone who is even thinking about buying a house.”

“The Firehouse Mortgage team was absolutely incredible. My wife and I learned about Brennan and his Firehouse Mortgage company through family members who had a good experience while we were finalizing details for our military move. Brennan was willing to commit to top-notch quality and unmatched timeliness of closing, and he delivered on every aspect of this commitment. Not only was Firehouse Mortgage able to close our loan in half the time of the lender we had originally planned to use, but the personal relationship Brennan built brought us great comfort and confidence as our family negotiated our fourth military move. The Garcia family sincerely thanks Brennan and his team for our outstanding experience. We wish the Firehouse Mortgage team and its affiliates all the best, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!”

“We have used Brennan twice now. We recently did a refinance on our house. We were very nervous about the process (heard horror stories) and the money we would need to put down. We knew there was no one else that we could go to besides Brennan. He gives us peace of mind. Brennan makes the home buying and refinancing process easy and stress-free.
He stays in contact the entire time, from start to finish, about everything that's going on in the process. He is one of BEST. We strongly recommend him to everyone. Thanks again, Brennan! We appreciate you and all the work you have done for us.”
— Tiffany and Jessica Barnes, July 7, 2021
Brennan is absolutely the best! He is honest, respectful, and always there when you need him! He has gotten us the best interest rates by far in comparison to all banks/lenders. My husband and I used Brennan when buying our very first house 6 years ago (when we knew nothing regarding mortgages or processes.) We recently decided to buy another house and did not hesitate to call him! He breaks everything down, makes sure you understand, and always keeps the process moving smoothly. We will never go through the bank again. Cannot recommend him enough.
— Brad and Britt Murray, November 20, 2020
“I have had the privilege of working with Brennan at Firehouse Mortgage twice. Brennan was our outstanding mortgage broker in 2013 & 2020. Brennan is the best in the business – he goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the best deal possible. The entire process is seamless and painless. I never had to follow up, Brennan was on top of everything. My high net worth realtor mentioned to me that he deals with many mortgage brokers throughout the year and Brennan is top of the class. If you are considering using a mortgage broker your search should end with Brennan and Firehouse Mortgage. You will not be disappointed!
— Jason Thomas, Police Officer and US Army, May 5, 2020
“Brennan, I just want to take a minute to thank you for another outstanding job with closing on our second refinance with Firehouse Mortgage. Not only did you save us a great deal of money on our monthly mortgage payment but you did it in less than 30 days. You gave us a lower rate and you also saved us money on closing costs, there were no hidden fees or extra points added just plain and simple great savings.
I was in the mortgage business for over 25 years so I understand the business. I trust Firehouse Mortgage and would recommend you to any friend or family member.
Thank you for a job well done.”
— Karen and Norman St. Jacques, April 27, 2020
“My wife and I used Firehouse Mortgage to purchase our first home, and we wanted to write a review to let people know how wonderful it was to work with Brennan Kelley. Because it was our first time, we were unfamiliar with many things, so it was awesome to have someone who walked us through the entire lengthy process, answering any questions we had, quickly and accurately. He promptly assisted us any time he could, responding to emails and phone calls whenever possible, while efficiently moving the process along. When speaking with him, it was obvious that he was dedicated to helping us reach the best possible results. He would even give us tips with how to negotiate prices, while also recommending when to lock in certain mortgage rates. I would highly recommend him to anyone who may be purchasing a new home. Our family appreciates everything he helped us with, and would definitely use him again in the future.”
— Zac Hall, Davie Firefighter, May 9, 2019
“This has been our third time using Firehouse Mortgage over the past 18 years. Brennan's level of service has remained consistent since the first time we used him. It's nice to deal with someone that's honest and is looking out for you.”
— Robert Ray, Captain and Paramedic, Ormond Beach Fire Department, December 5, 2018
“Brennan was awesome! He helped me go from contract to closing in just over a month. With me every step of the way, he helped navigate each requirement with full explanations and support. I felt confident that everything was being taken care of and that Brennan was just a phone call, email or text away.”
— Bryan Beaty, Deputy Sheriff, St. Lucie County, March 18, 2017
“I am a first time homeowner. I must say at the beginning of my journey, I was very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect, and I didn't want to make any mistakes and learn a costly lesson that I could not afford to make. Well I am proud to say, that thanks to Brennan Kelley, and Firehouse Mortgage Inc, my buying experience was a very pleasant experience. I never had a moment that I felt that I was left in the dark. Brennan kept me in the know during the entire process. Brennan was very professional and organized. Closing was a cake walk. I spent more time completing paperwork buying a car then I did buying a house. I could go on and on, but I will end just letting anyone that may be reading my comment know that I HIGHLY recommend Firehouse Mortgage Inc, (Brennan Kelley) for any of your mortgage needs. I wish you an extremely satisfied experience as I have had.”
— La Toya Young, Firefighter and Paramedic, April 1, 2015
“As a teacher, I am never consistent in the times that I leave work. Brennan has been nothing short of stellar in this experience. He had gone above and beyond, talking to me at all hours, walking me through the linguistics, and making sure I was comfortable and happy the entire process. He is the epitome of patience, understanding, integrity, dignity, and professionalism. Being a first time home buyer, I never once felt swamped or lost. I highly recommend Brennan, and will personally refer him in the future.”
— Nicole Meglio, July 23, 2013
“I have known Brennan for several years and have heard of his work from others. When I wanted to buy a new home recently I contacted Brennan. I had already contacted my bank and was told that there was no way that a mortgage broker could compete with their costs. While talking to Brennan he never spoke about any other institution or their costs. He only told me what he could do for me and it was far cheaper than the banks could or would offer.
The entire process went off without a hitch. Brennan was very clear as to what he needed from me and often sent reminder phone calls. He was always there to answer the phone and questions when needed. I will and have recommended Brennan to family and friends.”
— Paul Raymond, District Chief, SLCFD, February 7, 2012
“I just purchased my first house a little over a week ago and I had Firehouse Mortgage as my lender. Brennan does an excellent job with making sure I understood everything and kept checking with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Firehouse Mortgage to everyone I come across who is looking to buy a house. Thank You Brennan.”
— Kelly Cochran, Firefighter and Paramedic, SLCFD, June 15, 2010
“Brennan is awesome! This is the second time we have Brennan assist us. We recommend him, hands-down. Brennan is very professional and caring. His promises have always been kept. He provided us with comparable rates but undoubtedly surpasses the competition with his customer service. I will repeatedly continue to recommend him. Brennan thank you for your service!”
— Herbert Martinez, Lieutenant, Miami Dade Fire Rescue and Cindy Martinez, Registered Nurse, Miami Children's Hospital, July 9, 2008
“Brennan Kelly was great to work with, and the most knowledgeable person I have met when it comes to real estate loans. I had several companies competing for my refinance and Brennan came up with a solution that no one else thought of, to save me money. He had the best rates, and the lowest costs. There were no surprises or hidden charges and the process was quick and painless. I have refinanced in the past and the other companies are not looking out for you, and the process has been a hassle. Not with Brennan... he cares about his clients and looks after their best interest. He is a true gentleman. He has truly earned my business and respect.”
