Our Story

In 2013, when new regulations and stricter guidelines made it harder than ever for families to get a mortgage, most saw obstacles. Brendan and Tina McKay—a mother and son team—saw an opportunity. Together, they launched a family-owned mortgage brokerage built on trust, experience, and a shared passion for helping people achieve homeownership.

With decades of expertise in underwriting and operations, Tina and Brendan brought something rare to their clients: a deep understanding of how loans really get closed—and how to prevent problems before they ever reach the client. That behind-the-scenes knowledge allowed them to make the mortgage process smoother, easier, and far less stressful for the families they served.

What started with Brendan originating loans on nights and weekends quickly grew. Within a year, they opened their own branch, and just a few years later, they founded McKay Mortgage. Since then, the team has helped more than 1,300 families secure over $600 million in home financing.

For the McKays, this isn’t just business—it’s family helping families, backed by expertise you can trust and a process designed to make home buying simple.
