Matt Linde

Mortgage Professional | NMLS #1686769

Matt studied electrical engineering at the University of Maryland, but as fate would have it, Brendan McKay, who has been his friend for as long as he can remember, asked if he wanted to interview at a new mortgage company Brandan’s mother, Tina was going to manage. That was the start of the McKay-Linde Mortgage Team.

Diane Cook CRMS

Experience counts! Diane B. Cook has an impressive background as a mortgage loan professional. A Loan Officer for 30+ years, Diane proudly regards her Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist designation from the National Association of Mortgage Brokers as one of her finest professional achievements.

Our Mission

Most mortgage companies follow a pretty straight forward playbook. Hire as many loan officers as you can, and market to as many realtors as possible. That’s just not us. Managing new loan officers takes us away from the needs of our clients, and marketing is expensive. By staying small and referral-based, we are able to keep our attention where it belongs and keep our overhead low. Low overhead means low margins, which means… LOW RATES! Our mission to help you find your dream home.

Testimonials

Nick S.

I can’t say enough positive things about Brendan McKay both professionally and personally. My wife and I were referred to Brendan by our friends (who loved him too!). Brendan explained the finances behind owning a home and made it possible for us to see various situations that worked in our best interest. Personally, Brendan is as sweet as he is funny. The entire process (while stressful) was eased by Brendan’s reassurances and brilliance. A year after our condo purchase, Brendan still checks in and answers our questions. It’s nice to know that our relationship didn’t end when we signed the deed. Much love.

McKay Mortgage has helped us with both of our houses, they are so good that we keep coming back. Excellent customer service from a very knowledgeable and personable team - love that they are locally based too! We would highly recommend them to anyone!

Chris H.

Frankly, anyone can get a loan processed in 30-90 days and anyone can get you approved in 30-60 days...but we have never seen anyone get you approved and closed in two weeks! Our first lender dropped the ball and we were in danger of losing the house as well as our earnest money but the McKays pulled off the impossible as if it was their stock in trade. They are awesome and our loan process was awesome. Couldn't have done it without them!!

David B.

I work in the real estate industry and have no shortage of contacts on the mortgage side of the business. When it came time to purchase our new home there was no question whom my wife and I would use. Brendan and Tina's approach immediately gave us comfort and the knowledge base we needed to make the right decisions. They. Are. The. Best!

Lauran T.

What a team! Tina and Brendan are unstoppable! I NEVER thought they could help me, I was turned down by everyone! But they did it! So professional, detailed and walked me through the whole process step by step and they changed my life forever! I’m so grateful and will never forget the help and kindness I received from both of them! The best!! 👏👍
