EXCELLENCE AWARDEE:
The Scarlett Network Award for
Digital Innovation in a Brokerage
Mission 35 Mortgages winning the Scarlett Network Award for Digital Innovation in Brokerage did not happen overnight.
The company started out the year 2022 focused on two things – changing their digital face and website, to keep up with the times, and a brand new interactive online mortgage agent training experience.
As it would turn out, that year was to be a colossal year for both growth and digital innovation for the Hamilton, Ontario-based company.
The company proudly stands behind its new digital systems and practices, wholeheartedly embracing the ever-growing technology in the mortgage industry.
Having this open-minded technological culture made it easier to work on the redesign and rebranding of their website, which included several aspects to differentiate them from the normal, everyday mortgage brokerage or bank.
According to principal broker Brian Hogben, the company’s progress in digital innovation has brought the team closer together.
Visitors to the site can get in touch by way of an interactive chat. A notification is instantly sent to a real mortgage broker who is ready to help, whether the visitor is a client looking for a mortgage or a hopeful agent looking to join the brokerage.
The new website, mission35.com, boasts about 500 visits per month and generates approximately one lead per day.
Another technological innovation that helped place the company in the winners’ circle is the MI35 Academy, an online, interactive mortgage training program, which can be found at www.mi35academy.com, giving you the tools to succeed in a competitive market.
“We believe it is the best mortgage agent training in the business,” said Hogben.
To get there, the company took their “beloved” Mission35 Mortgage Bible and built a 99 Day Success Plan on Thinkific, an online course creation software. Running parallel is a live class schedule for every day of the week, created virtually with Microsoft Teams meeting links.
Mi35Academy’s virtual live modern mortgage training and one-on-one coaching, and results-driven systems, are helping to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Guidance is given by award-winning trainers and expert coaches presenting powerful live and virtual events, or flexible training programs.
“We host the classes live, record them and upload them to our academy for reference and for new waves of recruits to learn,” he said. Classes are taught by the company’s award-winning, experienced agents. To keep the subject matter engaging, classes are completely interactive, “which allows for a new training experience every time.”
Their core training team has more than 30-years-experience in mortgages. And with all of the company’s mortgage agents taking part in the training, everyone, from seasoned veterans to new recruits, is reading from the same detailed page, and sharing their own experiences.
As more work gets done remotely, the company has a user-friendly search ability function in its library for agents who are out-and-about that day, to hear from a diversity of teachers on the same subject.
Since the academy started, the brokerage has been onboarding multiple new mortgage agents every month.

Mission 35 Mortgages
Brian Hogen
Principal Broker/Owner
Brian Hogben was inspired to begin Mission 35 Mortgages after accomplishing his mission of paying off his mortgage by the age of 35. This became a goal for Brian when as a kid, he reaped the benefits that paying off his mortgage had provided for his dad. Not having to worry about that expense afforded his dad the freedom to spend more time with Brian and his brother, Craig. Despite a modest income, he wasn’t having to work overtime to make ends meet or spend his time worrying about the next month’s mortgage payment. This allowed him to retire his wife from a job she hated and cheer on his boys from the stands at their hockey games.
Brian and the team at Mission35 are dedicated to more than just securing your mortgage, they want to help you achieve success in whatever way you define it.
