I just wanted to share with you the subject of a phone call that I received today from a mortgage company in Florida. The caller said that he saw on my website that I had undergone the Reverse Mortgage Counselor training, and wanted me to counsel someone, and also do the closing.

Unfortunately I had to decline to provide the counseling, but could do the Reverse Mortgage closing. 

Completing the training is one thing. But in order to provide the counseling you have to pass an exam and become certified.  And in order to do that, you have to work for a company that provides Reverse Mortgage counseling.   It sounds like a bit of a Catch-22 -- you can't become certified to counsel unless you're already working for a counseling agency. But there are ways to achieve the certification, if you are resourceful.  It is something that I intend to pursue.

Anyway I wanted to share with you a way of enhancing your notary signing agent qualifications.  Here is a link to the article that I posted a while back (Reverse Mortgage Counselor training), which also contains a link to the Reverse Mortgage page on my website that has a lot of resources.

Good luck.
