The digital mortgage news publication MortgageOrb has announced it is ceasing operations.

“After two decades serving our audience of mortgage professionals, MortgageOrb is retiring the brand and sunsetting its operations,” the company wrote on its website this week.

Launched in 2007, MortgageOrb is owned and produced by Zackin Publications Inc., a business-to-business (B2B) media and information provider founded in 1967. The company also produced print and digital news for alternative energy sectors impacting the solar, wind and transportation industries.

However, Zackin ceased operations for all of its listed publications in 2025 — the last of which in operation was MortgageOrb — throwing the future of the small B2B publisher into question.

In a series of announcements made last February, Zackin said it was sunsetting operations for the publications Solar Industry, Next-Gen Transportation (NGT) News and North American Windpower.

The MortgageOrb website also hosted digital versions of the mortgage-related print publications Secondary Marketing Executive and Servicing Management, which ceased production in 2017, and Commercial Mortgage Insight, which was phased out in 2012.

Company filings show Zackin had been headquartered at a domestic residence in Southbury, Conn., until 2023, when new business filings show Zackin moved its headquarters to Honolulu.

Reached by email, the company’s president, Paul Zackin, said he didn’t have any additional comment beyond what was published on the MortgageOrb website.

“MortgageOrb wants to thank our dedicated audience and advertisers for being with us on this amazing journey,” the company’s announcement read. “We have all come a long way and wish our friends the best of luck in the coming decades.”
