Advocacy & Industry Leadership
Investing in the Future of Real Estate and Homeownership
At Johns Creek Mortgage, supporting the real estate community means more than showing up for transactions. It means being involved in the issues that affect REALTORS®, homeowners and the communities we serve.
That commitment starts at the top. Brian Norton, CEO and founder of Johns Creek Mortgage, has made advocacy for the real estate industry and homeownership an important part of his involvement with REALTOR® organizations throughout Georgia.
A Historic Commitment to RPAC
Brian became Georgia's first RPAC Platinum R President's Circle Major Investor, reaching one of the highest levels of annual investment in the REALTORS® Political Action Committee. Today, Johns Creek Mortgage identifies him as Georgia's first and only Platinum R President's Circle Major Investor.
RPAC supports REALTOR® advocacy by helping give the real estate industry a voice on public policy issues that affect real estate, private property and homeownership.
For Brian, that investment represents something bigger than recognition. It reflects a long-term commitment to supporting the industry, the professionals who serve it and the ability of people to pursue homeownership.
Recognized for a Lifetime of Support
Brian's continued investment has now earned him a place in the Georgia RPAC Top Investor Hall of Fame, which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated significant lifetime financial commitment to RPAC.
Brian is listed by Georgia REALTORS® among its Hall of Fame investors at the $25,000 lifetime investment level. Hall of Fame recipients are permanently recognized at the Georgia REALTORS® Advocacy Office in Atlanta.
His RPAC involvement has also been recognized within the Northeast Atlanta Metro Association of REALTORS® (NAMAR), where he is currently listed as both a President's Circle Investor and Platinum R Major Investor.
In 2025, Brian received another meaningful recognition when he was presented with a U.S. flag flown over the U.S. Capitol, requested by U.S. Rep. Richard McCormick in honor of his Platinum R President's Circle investment.

Why Advocacy Matters to Us
The real estate and mortgage industries are closely connected. Decisions affecting housing, private property and the real estate profession ultimately affect the people and communities we serve.
That's why Brian believes in doing more than simply participating in the industry. He believes in supporting it.
Through RPAC investment, involvement with REALTOR® associations and continued participation in the real estate community, Brian and Johns Creek Mortgage are helping support the professionals and organizations working to protect the future of real estate and homeownership.
It's another way we live out a principle that has always been central to Johns Creek Mortgage: relationships are bigger than any single transaction.
More Than a Mortgage Company
Johns Creek Mortgage was built to be a relationship company first. That means investing our time, resources and energy in the people and organizations that strengthen the communities where we live and work.
Brian's commitment to RPAC is one part of that larger philosophy – show up, get involved and support the industry that allows us to help people achieve the dream of homeownership.
