SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct 15, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ReverseVision, the leading provider of technology and training for the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) industry, today announced it is partnering with leading mortgage industry advisory firm STRATMOR Group to develop the first-ever HECM borrower satisfaction benchmark as part of STRATMOR’s MortgageSAT Borrower Satisfaction Program.
Many of the borrower satisfaction measures that apply to traditional loans also apply to HECM loans, but there are unique elements to HECM origination that factor into the borrower experience as well, such as the requirement that HECM borrowers complete reverse mortgage counseling with an independent third party. To ensure its MortgageSAT program accurately considers these unique HECM processes, STRATMOR Group will build a tailored survey with input from ReverseVision.
“Bringing MortgageSAT to reverse lenders is exciting for a number of reasons,” said STRATMOR MortgageSAT Program Director Mike Seminari. “As the dominant provider of reverse mortgage technology, ReverseVision is uniquely positioned to engage a large sample of lender participants, making this a true benchmark lenders can use to assess their performance against a meaningful peer dataset.”
According to ReverseVision President and CEO John Button, reverse mortgages still suffer from a poor reputation despite the fact that the causes are long resolved with a HECM program that is safer than ever. “We expect the MortgageSAT survey results, including borrower comments, will shed light on the fact that reverse borrowers are thoughtful people who are planning for their financial futures,” said Button. “The vast majority of them are very happy with both the process and the loan product.”
With the MortgageSAT program, ReverseVision customers will be able to survey every borrower within 24 hours of loan closing. Direct, instant borrower feedback, along with deep insights into the loan process and the people involved, will enable lenders to pinpoint sources of borrower dissatisfaction and quickly take corrective action. MortgageSAT will provide individual scores for each participant in the HECM process (e.g., counselor, loan officer or broker, processor, underwriter and closer) and measure the borrower’s perception of the entire experience with analysis by region, branch and individual employee.
“We’re eager to give reverse lenders the ability to understand what’s working and what’s not working in their origination process,” said Seminari. “MortgageSAT’s value for lenders includes its ability to deliver actionable insights for mortgage leaders and coaching moments for employees.”
