## Story

Motto Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage franchise focused on transparency and compliance, has a new office in Ohio. Motto Mortgage Ascent is now open in the Cleveland area and serving all markets throughout the Buckeye State.

Established by Linda and David LaFleur, with more than twenty years of experience in the residential real estate market, Motto Mortgage Ascent is a customer-first, full-service mortgage brokerage.

“Motto Mortgage Ascent offers an advantageous alternative to the traditional mortgage bankers currently operating in northeast Ohio,” said Linda LaFleur. “We provide the scope, scale and support of a large retail lender, while offering the flexibility, autonomy and exceptional service of a local mortgage broker.”

Jimmy Myers will serve as Vice President of Sales and mortgage loan originator for the office. With over eight years of experience, Jimmy Myers is a mortgage expert and takes great satisfaction helping homebuyers achieve the “American dream” of homeownership.

Loan originators in the Motto Mortgage network have access to competitive loans from various wholesale lenders and work hard to give homebuyers choices – because no loan is one-size-fits-all. A digital mortgage experience is available for borrowers who would prefer to conduct business remotely.

Each Motto Mortgage franchise is independently owned, operated and licensed.
