DENVER, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Motto Franchising, LLC announced the sale of its 200th Motto Mortgage franchise since inception. Established in late 2016 as the first national mortgage brokerage franchise in the U.S., the Motto Mortgage brand recently celebrated their best stretch of annual franchise sales ever, exceeding 60 sales during the trailing 12-month period ending June 30. This momentum is particularly notable as franchise sales efforts transitioned to a largely virtual experience during the second quarter.

The brand currently has more than 125 offices open in over 30 states.

In addition to franchise sales achievements, the Motto Mortgage brand has accumulated numerous accolades in 2020, including: being named on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500®¹ list, as a 2020 Top New franchise brand², as well as a 2020 Fastest-Growing Franchise³, and as a Franchise Business Review Top 200 Franchise⁴ of 2020.

"We are enthusiastic about the expansion momentum of the Motto Mortgage brand, as well as the continued diversification of ownership across a multitude of leading real estate brokerage brands, and we plan to continue to invest in Motto's future growth and success," said Ward Morrison, President, Motto Franchising, LLC. "Two-hundred franchises sold is a huge accomplishment and major milestone for any franchise brand regardless of industry, but especially when you consider it took us less than four years to accomplish."

Motto Mortgage, a "mortgage brokerage in a box," offers small business owners a meaningful way to diversify their revenue streams. With potential franchisees in lockdown during much of the second quarter of 2020, the countercyclical nature of the business model was on full display. Furthermore, as interest rates reached historic lows earlier this year, many Motto franchises saw meaningful increases in refinance business. The Motto Mortgage model not only creates an ancillary business for current real estate brokerage firms, but also offers opportunities for mortgage professionals seeking to open their own businesses and independent investors interested in financial services.
