I currently live in Bondurant with my wife Kaitlynn, 3 kids and a dog. I started off in the mortgage industry in 2014 as a mortgage processor, where I learned the ins and outs of the guidelines and the industry in general. I made the jump to mortgage loan officer in 2019 as I wanted to have more interaction with the people buying their home. My favorite part of this industry is helping individuals and families achieve part of the American dream, while making them as knowledgeable as possible along the way.


You’ve heard the horror stories…how hard it is to qualify, the mounds of paperwork you have to provide, the difficulties and delays. Not to mention the fighting, shopping, and haggling to get a good rate. With 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I am here to help with all these problems and more. I am a lifelong resident of the Des Moines metro and think it’s one of the best places to live. I reside in Johnston with my beautiful wife, Kari, and three crazy kids: Fitz, Sloane & Baker. When you’re ready, the next step in getting a low rate mortgage made easy is to contact me so we can review your unique situation and make sure that you get a low rate mortgage without the stress and hassle that’s normally associated with the process. It’s easy to reach me – feel free to call me direct or if you prefer you can email me. Either way, I’m here to make the experience of getting a mortgage a good one for you. Whether you need the mortgage to buy a home or are looking to refinance for a better rate or some cash out of your property, I can do it all. I look forward to helping you in any way I can!

"I feel very satisfied when a loan closes for a client. It means I've given them all the information to be confident in their decision, and that I've used my resources and experience to close it successfully,” states Brian Houk, a Loan Officer with Key Mortgage. Brian has been with the company for over three years but has been in the mortgage industry for nearly a decade. 

Brian and the team at Key Mortgage take the time to get to know their clients personally. In this way, they better help the client understand the Home Loan they are choosing to go with. Whether a purchase or a refinance, the team guides and assists them along every step of the way until that last step is the one in front of a new home. They are also available for the client long after the sale is complete, as well as answering any questions they have. Brian welcomes and encourages clients to refer friends and family or anyone who would like his loan guidance. 

Key Mortgage has many quality products available, such as USDA, Conventional, VA, FHA, Jumbo, New Construction, Grants, ARM, and many others. Each product has its own niche depending on the customer's specific situation. That's why Brian believes that really listening to the client's needs and desires is a priority. 

Brian adds, "The best thanks that a client can do for me is to refer a friend, family member, or coworker when they need their next home loan. I want you to be happy to send people my way after the closing takes place and know that I'm here for you after the closing as well. Don't hesitate to call or text me day or night. I'm available on the weekends too."
