CARROLLTON, TEXAS (PRWEB) July 19, 2016 -- VRM Mortgage Services (VRM), an industry-leading outsourcing solutions provider for residential and commercial assets, announced today that for the third consecutive year, it is the recipient of multiple awards bestowed by DiversityBusiness.com. Now in its 16th year, Diversitybusiness.com has been identifying the nation’s most successful entrepreneurs in a variety of categories and continues to recognize VRM as one of the country’s top African-American, diversity-owned and privately held businesses.

“This is the third consecutive year we’ve been honored by DiversityBusiness. The recognition from these awards renews our efforts to strive for even greater excellence as company,” said Keith Murray, president and CEO of VRM Mortgage Services. “More importantly, I believe it is also a result of our efforts in our industry.
