Let me help you get pre-approved today!

Hey there! I’m Brenda Hermes. With 50 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve seen it all—from the excitement of first-time homebuyers to the satisfaction of helping families refinance and save money.

What I love most about my job? It’s simple: I get to help people achieve their dreams! Whether it’s guiding someone through the process of buying their first home or helping a family save on their monthly payments through refinancing, every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact.

When I'm not helping clients navigate their mortgage options, I cherish time with my family. My husband and I have been married for 31 wonderful years, and we’re blessed with six children and eight grandchildren. Family trips are a big deal for us; we’re gearing up for our next adventure in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with all 22 of us! We have a family “Beatle Band” that performs every Memorial Day weekend. It’s such a joy to see my kids play their instruments while my grandkids join in singing “Hey Jude” (which is especially fun since one of them is named Jude!).
