Motto Franchising LLC announced the sale of its 150th Motto Mortgage franchise since inception. As the first national mortgage brokerage franchise in the U.S., Motto Mortgage was established on Oct. 25, 2016 and has showcased fast-paced growth throughout the last 36 months, averaging 50 franchise sales a year. The brand currently has more than 100 offices open in over 30 states. Earlier this year, Entrepreneur magazine named Motto Mortgage as a “2019 Fastest-Growing-Franchise” and one of the top new franchise brands in 2019.

“One hundred-fifty franchises sold in only three years is an extraordinary feat for a startup franchisor. This growth demonstrates the demand and potential of our business model,” said Ward Morrison, president of Motto Franchising LLC. “But more than that, our network of Motto Mortgage broker owners includes family-run operations and multi-generational ownership. Together, we’re strengthening communities and fortifying the American dream.”
