This is a challenging climate for mortgage originators, especially small to mid-sized lenders, as mortgage origination costs skyrocket. The technology and innovation in this industry is changing rapidly and lenders are spending more time than ever playing defense. At a time where business development issues and initiatives are paramount to the future success of mortgage originators, we act as a partner to our members in overcoming all of those challenges."

The new member companies are as follows:
Advisors Capital - Novi, MI
Churchill Mortgage - Brentwood, TN
Columbus First Bank - Columbus, OH
FBC Mortgage - Orlando, FL
First Community Mortgage - Murfreesboro, TN
First Direct Lending - Irvine, CA
Fulton Mortgage Company - Lancaster, PA

Nations Lending Corporation - Independence, OH
Origin Bank - Addison, TX
People's Mortgage Company - Chandler, AZ
Platte Valley Bank of Missouri - Platte City, MO
Sente Mortgage - Austin, TX
Sunstreet Mortgage - Tucson, AZ.

The addition of these companies increases to over $90 billion annually the aggregate origination volume of The Mortgage Collaborative's lender members. In the past 12 months, The Collaborative has added 48 new originating lender members, continuing the rapid growth for the nation's only independent cooperative network.

The Mortgage Collaborative also recently announced their Summer Lender Member Conference, which will be held August 20-23, 2016 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver, Colorado. The conference provides The Collaborative's lender members a unique opportunity to interact with top industry leaders and to attend and participate in compelling educational and peer-to-peer networking sessions. Details on the conference can be found at http://www.mortgagecollaborative.com.

* lead generation and marketing; and
* how to get started.

Originally conducted in conjunction with ReverseVision's 2016 User Conference, "Home-Equity Loans Facts Track" attendees gain insight into how the HECM product can help mortgage lending professionals better serve consumers, expand their retirement services offering and improve profitability.

Willow Bend Mortgage Now Offers Reverse Mortgages in 12 States Using ReverseVision Exchange (RVX) Loan Origination Software

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 20, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ReverseVision announced today that Willow Bend Mortgage (Willow Bend), an independent mortgage lender serving the South Central United States, has selected RV Exchange (RVX) as its reverse mortgage loan origination software (LOS). A long-standing community lender in its home state of Texas, Willow Bend began expanding its reverse mortgage program in 2015 and is currently licensed to operate in 12 states.

"We now have a dedicated reverse mortgage division made up of about 15 specialists," said Reverse Mortgage Divisional Manager Mike Hicks. "Our forward loan officers work closely with the reverse mortgage team and remain at the client's side every step of the way."

According to Hicks, Willow Bend originates reverse mortgages strictly on a retail basis for now, but a wholesale channel could be in the lender's future if volumes continue to grow. "At this time last year, we were preparing for Financial Assessment and just doing a handful of reverse mortgages," Hicks said. "Now our pipeline is growing, and we expect volume to trend up over the next year."

Financial Assessment refers to a series of FHA-administered changes to the underwriting criteria for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loans, commonly called reverse mortgages. The Financial Assessment rules make the HECM an even safer loan product for consumers by requiring lenders to evaluate borrowers' credit history, income and debt to determine if they are capable of meeting the obligations of a loan. First announced in 2013, Financial Assessment went into effect in April 2015.

"Now that we're through the first year of Financial Assessment, we're focused on growing our team and our HECM for Purchase business," said Hicks, who began his career in the reverse mortgage business as a consultant with such large depository institutions as MetLife and Wells Fargo. Both banks have since exited the reverse mortgage space. Prior to joining Willow Bend, Hicks served as sales manager at 1st Reverse Mortgage USA.

"Texas was the last state to get the HECM for Purchase," noted Hicks, "so our main focus is to get out there and educate REALTORS, builders and senior borrowers." Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow HECM for Purchase financial transactions in November 2013. HECM for Purchase is a product that allows homeowners to take out a reverse mortgage and buy a new residence all within a single transaction. "It's my hope that HECM for Purchase will one day represent 50% of Willow Bend's overall business," Hicks added.

Willow Bend selected RV Exchange (RVX) as its reverse mortgage LOS largely because of the user-friendly experience it delivers. "RVX is such a user-friendly software," said Hicks. "It's easy to manage from the time a loan officer first uses the software for quoting a loan all the way through to reporting. That's why it's one of most utilized programs throughout the industry."

RVX is San Diego, California-based ReverseVision's flagship product. The LOS serves as a centralized exchange, connecting all participants in the lifecycle of a reverse mortgage by allowing them to log in to a single system to share documents and information for each part of the loan process.

Hicks commended the turnkey nature of RV Exchange (RVX), reserving special praise for the hands-on support provided by ReverseVision VP of Professional Services Jeff Birdsell. "Jeff's hands-on approach was phenomenal," Hicks said. "He came out here and walked us through the process of putting our own products into the system. From the time we purchased RVX to the time we were up-and-running was a few days at the most."

RVX encompasses everything from point-of-sale, processing, underwriting, funding and post-closing to secondary marketing. This central exchange model is unique in the mortgage industry and offers benefits to all parties that include reduced document errors, heightened information security and shorter fulfillment timelines.

"We are pleased to help Willow Bend bring the benefits of HECM products, especially the HECM for purchase, to new borrowers in Texas and surrounding states," said Wendy Peel, vice president of sales and marketing for ReverseVision. "RVX provides a full suite of features and the wholesale infrastructure to scale with Willow Bend's needs as it grows its reverse mortgage business."

About Willow Bend:

Willow Bend Mortgage was founded in 1993 as a small brokerage shop built on servant leadership principles. Today, Willow Bend is a full-scale mortgage banking operation with offices in Texas and Alabama. Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Willow Bend generates more than $500 million in single-family "traditional" and reverse mortgages each year. Willow Bend loan officers take pride in putting their clients' interests first. With a superior product mix, expert loan officers and an operations staff that is second to none, Willow Bend helps borrowers navigate today's highly regulated mortgage environment.

NOVA Home Loans Chooses ReverseVision Exchange (RVX) Software to Originate Reverse Mortgages, Deliver to Investors

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 30, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ReverseVision announced today that NOVA(R) Home Loans (NOVA), a Tucson, Arizona-based mortgage lender serving the Southwestern United States, has selected RV Exchange (RVX) as its reverse mortgage loan origination software (LOS). NOVA has originated reverse mortgages as a correspondent lender since 2014.

According to Glen Smart, manager of NOVA's reverse mortgage division, the lender selected RVX for its superior integration with secondary market investors. "Frankly, the first question we ask whenever we partner with a new investor is, 'Will you work with RV Exchange?'" Smart said.

RVX is San Diego, Calif.-based ReverseVision's flagship product. The LOS serves as a centralized exchange, connecting all participants in the lifecycle of a reverse mortgage by allowing them to log in to a single system to share documents and information for each part of the loan process.

"RV Exchange allows us to deliver the same reverse mortgage package to any number of investor partners," Smart said. "We don't have to learn and open a bunch of different investors' systems to compare options. We absolutely love that."

RVX encompasses everything from point-of-sale, processing, underwriting, funding and post-closing to secondary marketing. This central exchange model is unique in the mortgage industry and offers benefits to all parties that include reduced document errors, heightened information security and shorter fulfillment timelines.

At NOVA, loan officers refer all reverse mortgage leads to a team of dedicated reverse mortgage specialists. Referring loan officers receive a referral fee when the loan closes.

"We've found that when leads are handled exclusively by certified reverse mortgage experts, customer interactions are better and loans close more frequently," said Smart. "I would love to see everyone in the industry shift to a model that relies on specialists versus the loan officer that tries to do one or two reverse mortgages a year. That's where mistakes get made, files are delayed, seniors are upset and the program gets a bad name."

NOVA is the largest independent mortgage bank in Arizona. Licensed in 12 states, NOVA currently operates branches in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.

"Through RVX, NOVA Home Loans matches the needs of senior borrowers and investors, both of whom receive unique benefits from HECM loans," said ReverseVision Vice President of Sales and Marketing Wendy Peel. The HUD-insured home-equity conversion mortgage (HECM) is the most widely used reverse mortgage product. It allows homeowners age 62 and older to tap into their home equity as a source of income or line of credit.

"HECM can be an ideal solution for Baby Boomers who want to age in place and extend their finances throughout retirement," Peel said. "NOVA's commitment to the reverse mortgage business and to educating REALTORS(R), financial planners and seniors on reverse mortgage products is a boon to the communities it serves."

Smart also acknowledged the role of education in growing NOVA's reverse mortgage division. "We teach continuing education classes on reverse mortgages to real estate agents," Smart said, "and my goal for 2016 is to increase the number of interactions we have with financial planners, CPAs and estate attorneys. These professionals serve as trusted advisors and can help seniors and their families compare options and make the best possible financial decisions for their situation."

About NOVA(R) Home Loans:

Licensed in 15 states with branch locations throughout Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, NOVA has served the needs of homeowners and homebuyers since 1980. As one of the fastest-growing lenders in the Southwest, NOVA provides customers with the lending strength of a large financial institution and the flexibility of a local business, including specialized loan programs that traditional banks may not offer. At NOVA, loan applications are handled in-house from start to finish for exceptional service and closing speed.

ReverseVision Offers Lenders and REALTORS a Reverse Mortgage Education Track at Jan. 2016 User Conference in San Diego

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 21, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- ReverseVision, Inc. (www.reversevision.com), today announced that mortgage lenders, bankers and REALTORS(R) interested in learning why offering reverse mortgages in their lending portfolio allows them to better serve consumers are invited to attend a "Reverse Mortgage Facts" track at its inaugural User Conference 2016 in San Diego January 20 - 22 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.

For ReverseVision RV Exchange(TM) users, User Con 2016 will feature general sessions and career tracks for reverse mortgage executives, loan officers, account executives, and administrators. The event will also feature sessions focused on forging relationships with Financial Planners, advertising and the CFPB, how TRID has impacted the reverse industry and more.

The "Reverse Mortgage Facts" track is an opportunity for both mortgage lenders and REALTORS to learn how HECM loans can be a safe, secure option for building their business by responsibly serving consumers in retirement or considering retirement lifestyle options. Included in the track will be an overview of the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), the most common reverse mortgage product, created during the Reagan Administration and significantly restructured in the last two years. In addition, attendees will learn how reverse mortgages can help meet the needs of consumers by serving them where they are in life and retain them-and possibly their children-as "customers for life." Leading financial planners will explain HECMs as a valuable retirement tool and demonstrate the ability to accurately model cash flow scenarios that show retirees the best possible outcome for their financial future.

"If you are in the business of helping consumers make well-rounded decisions about how they buy a home or leverage home equity work after age 62, you need to learn from experts how reverse mortgages really work and impact the lives of consumers," said Wendy Peel, VP of Sales & Marketing at ReverseVision. "Since the HECM was created to serve this demographic in a specific way by allowing the home equity asset to be properly leveraged in retirement, it is important to be able to accurately discuss the option with consumers."

As home values continue to recover and interest rates rise in 2016, homeowners can once again be expected to factor home equity options in their financial decision making. Lenders, banks, credit unions and REALTORS will be able to improve their mortgage loan customer service and competitiveness by investing in education on home equity product options.

Early registration for "Reverse Mortgage Facts" is $249 until December 31, 2015.

MCT Trading, Inc. Acquires Assets of PLar Analytics, LLC and PB Pacific Partners, LLC

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- MCT Trading, Inc. (MCT), a recognized industry leader in mortgage risk management providing pipeline hedging, best-execution loan sales and centralized lock desk services, announced that it has acquired certain key assets of PLar Analytics, LLC, a provider of financial models for mortgage bankers, and of PB Pacific Partners, LLC, which offers consulting services on capital markets and mortgage servicing.

The deal expands MCT's advisory services to include specialization in mortgage servicing rights (MSR) valuation business. This new MSR Services Group will be headed by Phil Laren, founder of PLar Analytics and PB Pacific Partners. MCT's acquisition includes certain key assets of PLar Analytics', PB Pacific Partner's customer base and its proprietary Enhanced Servicing Model (ESM). Mr. Laren is now a full-time employee at MCT.

"This deal is a natural fit for MCT. We have been utilizing the ESM model for over two years; it has multiple advantages over other valuation models," stated Curtis Richins, president of MCT. "With Phil Laren running our new MSR Services Group, we have expanded our service offerings, enabling us to deliver even more tangible value to our lender clients."

MCT clients will benefit immediately as a result of the acquisition with more granular analysis of the "retained" vs. "released best execution" decision-making process and access to the "best-in-class" MSR pipeline valuation services. MCT also intends to integrate PLar Analytics' ESM and MSR software with MCTlive!, its award-winning secondary marketing technology platform for real-time trading, analytics and best-execution.

"Given Mr. Laren's extensive capital markets experience and industry-leading knowledge of MSR valuation, he is well-equipped to effectively assist MCT's clients strategically and operationally as they evaluate retained execution opportunities," said Phil Rasori, COO at MCT. "He created a very sophisticated, proven valuation model. Our clients are looking to MCT for advice in selecting the best servicing partners and then implement best practices, which strengthens our value proposition for lenders."

"I am extremely excited to join the team at MCT and look forward to growing the MSR Services Group," said Laren. "Many lenders need specialized guidance in an effort to accurately value their servicing portfolios to maximize profitability and manage risk. They will need help in evaluation potential new partners, such as sub-servicers. The new group that we're establishing will be key in supporting existing MCT clients as they grow and in penetrating larger accounts."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

County Awards Contract to CARR for Development of Assisted Living Facility Rating System

SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 5, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The County of San Diego, Aging & Independence Services awarded Consumer Advocates for RCFE Reform (CARR) a fixed price contract for a pilot project to create a rating system for the County's assisted living facilities, and to develop a consumer-friendly website to display the ratings and facility information. The pilot program is a six-month effort with a current contact value of $50,000.

Demonstrating the Board of Supervisor's commitment to providing a trusted information source about senior care for residents of San Diego County, the contract terms allow additional funding for up to 3 follow-on years.

This award results from a competitive procurement authorized by the County Board of Supervisors in December 2014. This contract is the first step in the initiative launched by Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Greg Cox in spring of 2014 to create a rating system for local assisted living facilities.

The rating system relies on voluntary participation by facilities. The UTSanDiego's extensive expose of problems related to state oversight of assisted living facilities was the impetus for the Board's initiative.

The goal of the County program, the first of its kind in California, is to help seniors and their families find a safe assisted living facility to provide necessary care and assistance.

"CARR is honored to be the County of San Diego's vendor entrusted with developing a fair rating system deserving the confidence of the public and providers," said Chris Murphy, CARR's Executive Director. "We hope its introduction will raise the bar for all assisted living facilities operating in San Diego County, while providing consumers and allied professionals with an additional tool for making care placement decisions."

Consumer Advocates for RCFE Reform (CARR) is a San Diego-based 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization specializing in public document research (http://www.rcfereform.org/) on assisted living facilities, and the state's oversight of the industry.
