ReverseVision Expands RV University (RVU) with 3-Day Live Training Course that Accelerates Reverse Mortgage Loan Originator Success

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- ReverseVision, the leading provider of software and technology for the reverse mortgage industry, today announced the expansion of its RV University (RVU) education and training program with the addition of a three-day Accelerated Loan Originator Training course available live each month at ReverseVision's San Diego training facility.

Launched in March, the live training course is specifically designed for loan originators and processors looking for quality Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) education and software training. Both front-line originators and managers will benefit from programming designed to accelerate the HECM origination process and position companies to achieve optimum results.

ReverseVision will offer the course on a monthly basis and is currently accepting enrollment for its May and June sessions. The three-day session covers all facets of HECM education, beginning with a primer on loan structure and regulatory guidelines on day one. Day two gives students hands-on practice preparing proposals and disclosures for various origination scenarios using ReverseVision technology. On the final day of the training, attendees learn compliant and successful sales methods for describing HECM loans to a range of borrowers and referral partners.

Mickey Cunningham, an experienced forward loan originator with Gateway Mortgage Group, is one of 11 students who attended the first Accelerated Loan Originator Training session in March. Gateway Mortgage Group is among the largest privately held mortgage bankers in the country.

"The HECM product is unlike any other loan product I've worked with during my 26-year career in mortgage," said Cunningham. "While it was great to test-drive ReverseVision's excellent technology, what really stood out for me was the incredible amount of loan education. Anyone who is going to originate HECM loans needs to have this kind of training."

Christina Harmes, assistant manager of C2 Financial's reverse mortgage division, also attended the session. C2 is the largest mortgage broker in California and second-largest broker in the United States.

"Reverse mortgages will be trending for some time thanks to rising interest rates and the size of the Baby Boomer generation. There's a real need for comprehensive training to help forward loan officers learn how to originate reverse mortgages," said Harmes. "In fact, that's why I enrolled in RVU - to evaluate whether the program could be used to help C2 as we train more forward loan officers to originate HECM products."

"I was really pleased by the amount of information geared toward HECM newcomers and the methodical way it was delivered," Harmes continued, "but what I didn't expect is that I would learn so much myself. As a professional who's closed many reverse mortgages, it was gratifying to receive definitive answers to some more advanced questions I've been wondering about for some time."

ReverseVision has offered 24/7 online training through its RVU platform for the last three years. RVU's online classes remain an affordable option for mortgage lenders seeking introductory and "refresher" HECM education. In addition, select courses qualify attendees to earn credits toward Nationwide Multi-State Licensing System (NMLS) and Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) continuing education requirements. The CRMP program, administered by the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA), is the highest industry credential for reverse mortgage professionals.

"Key regulatory changes have evolved the HECM significantly, which is why both new and experienced reverse mortgage professionals stand to benefit from hands-on training that addresses product knowledge, HECM selling techniques and the RV Exchange software," said Wendy Peel, vice president of sales and marketing at ReverseVision. "Normalizing this product so that more traditional lenders see HECMs as a natural addition to their product offerings will be key to our industry's continued growth and success."

Art-In-Relation Features a Cavalcade of Talent in a Unique Two Night Engagement

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jonas Sills, founder and executive producer of Art-In-Relation (A.I.R.), announces a grand benefit performance of "Broadway-LA." After three successful seasons of theater in the Long Beach area, Art-In-Relation made its move to Los Angeles with two acclaimed productions, "Andrew Lippa's Wild Party" and "Frankenstein, A New Musical" in the fall of 2016. They were honored to receive rave reviews and an "Ovation Recommendation" from the LA Theater Alliance.

"Broadway-LA" is a performance of musical theater favorites in the arena style 1200 seat concert venue of the Founder's Center for Positive Spirituality ( www.foundersla.org ). The event will be performed by a cast of 70 adults and youth as well as an instrumental combo. Mr Sills is thrilled with the evolution of this production as it combines veteran professionals with Broadway credits with up and coming artists, as well as developing youth.

"The auditions for this production included the most talented group of performers that we as a creative team have ever seen in the Los Angeles area, and I am so honored to have so many of them join us for this upbeat, exciting show," says Sills.

The show will feature an exciting selection of Broadway musical selections from shows throughout the eras of the Broadway stage. A.I.R. aims to bring the polish, excitement and pizazz of a night at the theater in New York to Los Angeles audiences.

The production team includes Broadway and Off-Broadway veteran, Alan Palmer, as well as Dr. James Lent, professor of piano at UCLA and coach at American Musical Dramatic Academy. Joining us as publicist is VanNessa Hulme, while rounding out the team is Johnathan Tupanjim as stage manager, Christopher Allport, production support/design, and Heidi Sills as production assistant and box office.

Alan Palmer notes, "This performance is not the same everyday selections, but an evening of rarely heard Broadway musical gems."

A.I.R. is keeping with its mission of presenting lesser known pieces, combined with family style entertainment.

Proudly becoming a sponsored non-profit, this performance is the perfect event to further Art-In-Relation's goal of reaching out to the community, and working with charitable organizations. A portion of the proceeds will be given to Createnow.org, a charity which provides arts education, excursions, and enrichment to underprivileged and other youth and families around Los Angeles.

Art-In-Relation will be providing limited number of donation based tickets, as well as reasonably priced $25 VIP tickets which will include a reception with the cast, wine and hors d'ouvres.

Performances will be held April 1, 2017 at 7 p.m. and April 2 at 5 p.m. at Founder's Center, 3281 W 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90020.

Tickets are available on a first come first served basis by calling Heidi at 323-320-2898 or going to http://www.artinrelation.com or check us out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/artinrelation/.
