Today on Power House we are bringing you a conversation between Zeb Lowe and Aaron Clark, a firefighter and co-owner of Firehouse Mortgage, a Houston-based mortgage brokerage that is owned and operated by first responders and veterans. Aaron shares his journey from fighting fires to becoming a loan officer and how a layoff led to the creation of Firehouse with his wife — who will be joining us on the show later this week!
Aaron discusses their approach to serving veterans, minorities, and low-income borrowers, his concerns about AI's impact on personal relationships in mortgage, and the challenges of staying competitive as a smaller, relationship-focused company.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How Aaron transitioned from firefighter to real estate agent to loan officer
Why Firehouse Mortgage's team of first responders creates unique trust with clients
The community-focused business model that prioritizes giving back over profit maximization
How they serve veterans, minorities, and low-income borrowers with transparent pricing
Aaron's perspective on AI threatening personal relationships in mortgage lending
The organic growth strategy that built their business through community connections
