Top producer will recruit and develop loan officers across Massachusetts while continuing to lead his branch
Rate has promoted Bryan Brown to regional manager, expanding his responsibilities to include recruiting, mentoring, and developing loan officers across Massachusetts.
Brown will remain a producing branch manager while assuming the additional leadership duties, Rate announced July 15.
Brown’s team funded more than $86 million in home loans in 2025 and is on pace to surpass $120 million in 2026. That would represent projected year-over-year growth of 39%.
Rate reported that Brown’s 2025 business included 167 closed loans and placed him No. 42 among the company’s producers nationwide.
In his expanded role, Brown will focus on recruiting loan officers, developing originators, building teams, and supporting branch growth. Remaining active in production will allow him to bring current market experience to those responsibilities.
“Bryan represents exactly the kind of leader we want helping shape the future of Rate,” Daniel Manginelli III, executive mortgage coach at Rate, said. “He’s built an exceptional business through hard work, consistency and relationships. People trust him because he leads with integrity, delivers for his clients and invests in the success of those around him.”
Brown said he plans to remain closely involved with clients and referral partners while helping other mortgage professionals develop their businesses.
“I believe the best leaders lead from the front, and I’m committed to continuing to deliver exceptional results while helping others do the same,” Brown wrote on LinkedIn.
Rate said the promotion reflects its effort to develop leaders internally and strengthen its presence across Massachusetts.
