Having grown up relocating frequently—sometimes just a few cities over, other times across the country—Brandon understands firsthand the challenges and stress that come with moving. That personal experience, combined with a deep commitment to service, drives his passion for guiding others through one of life’s biggest transitions: homeownership.

After graduating high school, Brandon enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and spent 10 years on active duty as a Special Operations Pararescueman. In 2013, he transitioned to the Air Force Reserve, commissioned as an officer, and became a Rescue Helicopter Pilot flying the HH-60G Pave Hawk. Over the course of his military career, he has deployed more than a dozen times, with combat tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Somalia, and other regions around the globe.

Motivated by a desire to sharpen his financial expertise and broaden his leadership skills, Brandon earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in Strategic Leadership.

“What I enjoy most about the mortgage industry is helping people understand the process and create the most advantageous path forward based on their unique goals and circumstances. Being part of someone’s journey to homeownership is truly rewarding.”

As a veteran himself, Brandon is especially passionate about helping fellow service members and their families navigate the VA loan process—a space often clouded by misinformation and missed opportunities. To better serve his clients, he became a Certified Veterans Lending Specialist and continues to advocate for education and clarity around VA benefits.

Outside the office, Brandon wears many hats: he’s a devoted husband, proud father of two daughters, a DOE firearms instructor, skydiver, master scuba diver, and a commercial-rated pilot with both fixed-wing and rotary-wing certifications, including instrument and NVG ratings.

Brandon’s diverse background, leadership experience, and financial expertise give him a unique perspective in helping clients make informed, confident decisions. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned homeowner, or real estate investor, Brandon is ready to be a trusted partner in achieving your goals.

The Smith mortgage team is great to work with and provides top notch guidance and services.

5/ 5

The Smith mortgage team is great to work with and provides top notch guidance and services. I used them to refinance a property and a second time to secure a mortgage on a new home. Both times they provided me with excellent service and made the process as easy and painless as possible. They use online tools to communicate loan status, as well as to submit required documents and digitally sign the documents. This makes it possible to quickly provide documentation and sign documents to keep the process moving. They also do a great job of providing status updates, and they are very friendly and professional. It has always been a pleasure to work with Brandon and Chelsea and I will gladly refer my friends and family to them in the future. ~ RbNetEngr ~
