About Justin Brown

Waiting for rates to go down, you are waiting for prices to go up! 22 year mortgage veteran, started my first 10 years in ops as a processor, underwriter and eventually ops manager.

As an ops manager through the 2007 meltdown, the company I was working for eventually went out of business and started BK around Dec of 2008, on unemployment, living at home, and unable to find a job paying close to what I made in ops, I decided to take a chance on myself and start trying to Originate while everyone else was exiting the business, and telling me to get into short sales and loan mods. I stuck to my guns and took everything I learned from working with great loan officers, and the ones I knew I never wanted to be like (hint I wanted to be like the ones that sent clean files, knew their guidelines, did what they said, educated their clients, etc.)

And within the first 12 months I made more income than I had in the previous years in ops, and never looked back

Fast forward a few years, working early mornings, late nights to keep up with a growing business, I had to learn how to actually build a team and run a business, I didn’t let anyone talk to my clients, or touch my disclosures for at least 2-3 years of originating…

Now after learning loans inside out, learning how to be a great originator, then learning how to run a business, I’ve been spending the last few years since covid learning marketing and taking my business consumer direct.

I still have a long way to go to hit my goals, but there have been plenty of lessons along the way that I use to continue to grow and succeed even in this market.

About Andrew Cady

Andrew Cady, aka “Epic Mortgage Guy”, a Florida native, has been intricately involved with the local community for 20+ years while building his family business in the southeastern United States. In early 2015, Andrew found his passion in the mortgage business, quickly becoming one of the top single producers in the state followed by top in the country. Andrew has now truly mastered his profession. Andrew adopted a mantra early in his career: “I aim to make the closing room more of a celebration than a sigh of relief.” Andrew has done just that, as evidenced by more than 1000 five-star reviews he and his team have received. They speak volumes about the quality of service, passion, and communication he has provided not only for his clients, but also for the associated real estate agents, transaction coordinators, and title agents.

Within the market as a whole, Andrew has developed a serious focus on our local veterans, as reflected in his oft quoted message to them: “VA mortgages are so often misunderstood and overcomplicated; I have a duty to fix that.”* His social media posts reflect that same commitment, often using the hashtag #ServingThoseWhoServe. Andrew’s endless hours spent educating and serving our local veterans have now resulted in his being named one of the top 25 VA lenders in the state of Florida by Ask a Lender in only his third year in the industry.

Andrew also greatly enjoys quality time with his wife, Krystal, and their four beautiful children: Brandon, Elizabeth, Sophia, and Anna. Just as Andrew is totally involved with his work, so is he with his family: “Family time is everything!” He goes to an endless number of softball games, volleyball games, dance competitions, swim meets and also enjoys just relaxing at the beach with his family!
