Earlier this year, the Motto Mortgage brand was recognized on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500® list for the third consecutive year*, once again earning the top ranking in the Miscellaneous Financial Services¹ category. In addition, the Motto Mortgage brand has been named a 2022 Top Franchise for Less Than $100K² for the second consecutive year*, and a Fastest-Growing Franchise for the fourth consecutive year*, ranking in both the 2022 Fastest-Growing Franchise (Worldwide)³ and the 2022 Fastest-Growing Franchise (US & Canada)⁴ lists.

"It is incredible to see how far the Motto Mortgage brand has come since launching just over five years ago. 2021 marked a record year for the brand reaching a major milestone of 300 offices sold since inception, and for the entire Motto network which closed nearly $3.3 billion in loan volume and helped around 13,000 individuals and families find their dream homes," said Ward Morrison, president and CEO of Motto Franchising, LLC. "The rapid diversification of franchise ownership is a testament to how revolutionary our offerings are, and these accolades only solidify the growth and momentum we strive for every day."

In addition, the Motto Mortgage brand was once again named a Top 200 Franchise of 2022⁵ by the Franchise Business Review. The brand ranked #32 of the top 50 large franchises and #1 in the financial and tax category for the first time, jumping to the top of the list from its previous ranking of fourth in the category*.

When asked about their experience as a Motto Mortgage franchisee since opening their business in 2020, Kelly Jackson and Davina Arceneaux, Broker Owners and Loan Originators for Motto Mortgage Home Services said, "As a husband-and-wife team going on our first business venture together we considered several factors when evaluating whether we should go the franchise or independent small business route. Motto Mortgage made that decision easy for us because of all the perks offered to their franchisees." The duo went on to say, "Not only was the startup cost lower than founding our own company, the tools and resources available to help us launch and grow our business and the access we gained to a network of successful, knowledgeable peers was unparalleled to any other franchise opportunity we explored."
