Motto® Mortgage, the first and only national mortgage brokerage franchisor in the U.S., furthers its reputation as a top franchise to own and today announces it has once again been named to three prestigious Entrepreneur Magazine top franchise lists.

“I am very proud to see how far the Motto Mortgage brand has come since launching in 2016. 2022 marked a record year for the brand with more new offices opened across the U.S. than ever before and our franchisees closing nearly $2.8 billion in loan volume to help over 9,700 families fulfill their dream of home ownership,” said Ward Morrison, president and CEO of Motto Franchising, LLC. “Now with over 225 offices open in more than 40 states, Motto’s unique value proposition and Mortgage Brokerage In-A-Box℠ business model not only creates a secondary business with revenue potential for current real estate brokerage firms but also offers opportunities for mortgage professionals seeking to open their own businesses and independent investors interested in a financial services franchise.”
