Motto Mortgage Opens First Texas Location

Mar 21, 2017

Motto Mortgage, a member of the RE/MAX Holdings family of brands, has a new franchisee in the Lone Star State, as Freddy Rodriguez, broker/owner of RE/MAX Inner Loop in Houston, has purchased the first Motto Mortgage franchise in Texas.

“Increasing mortgage rates are getting more buyers off the fence and into the home buying game,” said Rodriguez. “I am a true believer in the American Dream and my hope is that the addition of a Motto Mortgage franchise in the area will help more people become homeowners.”

Rodriguez’s Motto Mortgage location is expected to open this spring.

“The addition of a Motto Mortgage franchise will offer Houston-area homebuyers more lending options,” said Motto Mortgage President Ward Morrison. “Thanks in a large part to Freddy’s leadership, RE/MAX Inner Loop has seen impressive growth in the last three years and we expect the same success with this new endeavor.”
