Before his promotion to COO, he held numerous other positions at the company and its predecessor entity, PHH Mortgage, starting as an Account Manager and working his way up to the role of National Vice President of Corporate Relocation and Centralized Sales. Earlier in his career, he spent a decade as Broker/Owner of a fast-growing independent real estate brokerage that expanded into mortgage and other ancillary services under his leadership. 

"Vic is a phenomenal addition to the team. His background, skills and customer-first mindset will benefit our mortgage operations," said Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings. "He's focused on finding innovative ways to increase opportunities for Motto Mortgage brokerage owners and loan originators, which in turn will help strengthen offices and build market share.
