Success Mortgage Partners, Inc. was founded in May, 2002, by Vincent N. Lee and Owen V. Lee, Esq. The purpose of founding SMP was to create a company applying the various lessons that each had learned in their respective real estate careers. The two owners wanted to seriously grow the mortgage company. To accomplish this task SMP began discussions with and later agreed to terms with Kevin Broughton. At that time Kevin was running a RE/MAX master franchise area from the corporate side. Kevin had engaged in the sale and/or renewal of over 60 RE/MAX franchise agreements. More importantly, Kevin had played a hand in the recruitment of over 200 Realtors from someplace else into the RE/MAX system. For this achievement, Kevin’s region had won North American Region of the Year in 2003. Kevin brought a tremendous amount of energy and a renewed focus on people and relationships.
