Motto Mortgage Sells 50 Franchises in Its First Year

Dec 29, 2017
Total Expert has announced that its Marketing Operating System is now powering Motto Franchising LLC’s MottoSpark

Motto Franchising LLC has announced that 50 Motto Mortgage franchises were sold across the country during the franchisor’s first year of operation in 2017. Denver-based Motto Mortgage officially launched on October 25, 2016, and is the first national mortgage brokerage franchise in the U.S.
 
Motto Mortgage is the second member of the RE/MAX Holdings Inc. family of brands.
 
“The Motto Mortgage team is extremely proud to have 50 franchises sold in the brand’s first 12 months,” said Motto Franchising President Ward Morrison. “When we developed the new concept, our goal was always to create a value proposition that worked for franchisees and provided an upgraded experience for consumers. Now having more than 25 franchises already open and operating validates the tremendous vision and dedication of the Motto Mortgage team–and confirms the need for the disruption in the marketplace.”
 
Motto Mortgage has franchises operating in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas.
