Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel and Aaron Clark.
Rachel and Aaron, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Aaron and I were working in the real estate business starting in 2015 shortly after we met. Aaron was doing great in real estate and I was helping with paperwork for his deals. In 2017, Aaron decided to make the change to mortgages to help the broker we were working with at the time. After a year and a half of mortgages, we decided to open our own company, Firehouse Mortgage. We officially opened our doors on October 1, 2018. Our company is focused on family. We want to make our clients and our employees feel like family. As a mortgage broker, we are able to offer multiple options to home buyers to make sure they have the best loan for them. Aaron is also a Marine Corps veteran so we care about the veteran community.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has not always been a smooth road. One of the biggest struggles we had along the way, and still do, is finding the right balance between work life and home life. Since we are together almost all the time, we have to find time to separate from work and just enjoy each other and our family.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Firehouse Mortgage – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We are a mortgage brokerage that shops wholesale lenders to get clients a home mortgage. We specialize in mortgage loans for home purchases or refinances. We are known for doing what needs to get done to get the deal done.
We are most proud of being a company that gives back to the community. As a full-time firefighter, Aaron is all about the community. We like to be involved in community events, and sponsor things such as the Houston Rodeo Cookoff. We like to think that what sets us apart is that we truly care about the customers and will do what it takes to get people in a home. We have set our business model up to give our clients some of the lowest rates around.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Our plan is to continue growing the company and helping more people in the Houston area get into homes. We are hoping to be able to open a second office at some point in the outer parts of Houston to be able to reach more clients and real estate agents. We are looking forward to getting a point where we can travel to watch our daughter play soccer in college in a few years, no matter where she decides to attend. No major changes that we are planning for except helping more clients!
