Brandon Byrd

Brandon Byrd, Sr. Mortgage Banker at Highland Mortgage, is an Atlanta native and has been a top producer in the mortgage industry for 20+ years. He grew up in the business with his grandparents owning their own real estate brokerage and building company. His father and step mother are still active real estate agents to this day while his mother, after having a fulfilling career as a mortgage banker, now helps run his stepfather’s appraisal company. You could say this industry is in his blood.

Brandon has worked in many facets of the home financing industry. In 2002 Brandon joined Market Street Mortgage as a loan officer assistant. He quickly worked his way up to wearing hats in the processing, underwriting, and closing departments giving him insight into every department of the mortgage industry.

In addition to having more than two decades of experience, Brandon is also a graduate of the Xinnix Mortgage Academy, a training program specifically for loan originators. Even with his advanced knowledge and mastery of the business, Brandon prioritizes education, personal connection, and spending time communicating with agents, builders, and clients.

When Brandon is not working on helping buyers achieve their homeownership dreams, he spends his time with his husband of 22 years and their two dogs in East Atlanta, fixing up his Tiki Bar and tending to his orchids. You will likely find them working remotely from their motorhome, probably thousands of miles away, when they are not at home.
