DENVER, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Launched in 2016, Motto^® Mortgage is the first and only national mortgage brokerage franchise brand in the U.S. With over 225 franchise offices now open across more than 40 states, the brand continues to grow. The company has helped fill a gap in the industry with its unique business model that empowers loan originators to take control of their careers, expands potential revenue streams for real estate brokerages and teams, and offers a simplified path to franchise ownership via its Mortgage Brokerage-in-a-box^SM solution.

"What makes the Motto brand unique is that each office is independently owned and operated by mortgage professionals who understand the nuances of their local markets, but also have the support of an established brand that provides the tools needed to best serve their customers," said Ward Morrison, president and CEO of Motto Franchising, LLC.
