Dan Lennon (The Benefits of a Second Career, Firefighter Fitness and Honouring the Fallen) - Episode 1157

Dan Lennon is a U.S. Air Force veteran, Lieutenant with Orange County Fire Rescue, and the founder of The First Responder Realtor® brand. We discuss his journey into the fire service, firefighter fitness, the fiscal and mental health benefits of a second career, the world of real estate and so much more.

With over 17 years in the fire service, Dan has built his career and his business around one guiding principle — “relationships before business.” After years of serving his community on the front lines, Dan turned his passion for service toward real estate. He’s a proud member of eXp Realty’s Gwilt Group, a military-led team dedicated to serving those who serve — including first responders, veterans, and their families. Dan helps buyers, sellers, and investors across Central Florida navigate the market with trust, transparency, and integrity.

He’s also the co-founder of F.I.R.E. Flips, a business he runs with retired firefighter Anthony Kibler, specializing in purchasing and restoring fire-damaged homes for people looking to sell — transforming loss into renewal. Beyond that, Dan leads Trapelo Road Investments, inspired by his family roots in Waltham, Massachusetts, where he focuses on long-term development and wealth-building opportunities across East Orlando.

Whether he’s running calls with Orange County Fire Rescue or helping a client close on their dream home, Dan brings the same sense of duty, discipline, and heart to everything he does. His mission is clear — to serve those who serve, and to help others build lasting freedom through real estate.
