Movement Mortgage LLC recently opened its first office in the Athens area.

The new Movement office, located at 3651 Mars Hill Road, Suite 100 in Watkinsville, is led by Producing Branch Manager Charlie Fleming, a real estate professional and Athens resident.

“We are very excited to launch this new market in Athens, Georgia with Charlie Fleming’s proven success and his commitment to servant leadership. I look forward to big things coming out of his team,” Movement Mortgage Market Leader David Massey said. “Charlie has demonstrated unmatched experience in the local market and a love and concern for each of his clients. He’s a perfect fit with Movement Mortgage.”

Movement Mortgage believes real estate is a local business driven by individual agents and their local sphere of influence. The company has rapidly expanded nationwide by committing to upfront underwriting, seven-day processing on most of its loans and investing millions of dollars back into communities through its nonprofit foundation.
