My loan closing experience includes a multitude of loans of different variations.  I have closed purchase loans, refinance loans, first and second loans, HELOCS, FHA, VA, and home improvement loans.  Currently, I am educating myself on reverse mortgage closings and commercial real estate closings.  I plan to expand my services to close these types of loans starting February 17, 2008.

If anyone has good ideas on training and building my reverse mortgage and commercial real estate closings business, please advise.  Thank you.

My book "Notary Marketing 2019" is on Amazon.com

Hi, Jeff

I suggest you skim the book "Reverse Mortgages for Dummies."  You can get it from the library or you can get a used one on Amazon.com for around $6.

I hear that ART still offers free reverse mortgage signing training.  You can find their phone number at: http://www.artreverse.com/contactUs.htm

I wrote a marketing book on how to get Reverse Mortgage work at the fees you want.  Not one person who has read the book has a negative word to say about it. You can read their posts on the notary forum at www.NotaryRotary.com  Just hit the orange search button and use the words marketing reverse mortgage Laura to find the posts.  You will see a few negative posts there but they are all written by people who have not seen the book.

The book is sold from my website:  http://professionalnotary.com/7.html  

Good luck, LauraV

Thank you Laura.  I have a few articles/manuals on Reverse Mortgages, but they are more related to Reverse Mortgages for the consumer, and I need something more for the actual closing of Reverse Mortgages.  So, I will check out artreverse.com and/or your marketing book.

Thanks again.

I hear that Brenda Stone has a terrific eBook on the "how to" of handling RevMort signings.  You can read comments about it on NotaryRotary.com   Just use the orange search button and type in Brenda and reverse

btw - my book talks about marketing to get Reverse Mortage work, not how to handle the loans.  I don't want anyone to be unhappy due to purchasing a book from me for any reason, including thinking the book covers a topic that is not addressed in the book.

Good luck,   LauraV

Yes, Laura, that is how I understood your first comment.  You did state that your book covers marketing, and I could use assistance in marketing also, especially after I take a tutorial or training in Reverse Mortgage closing handling.

Since I originate RMs myself, I constantly sign up for free workshops and seminars -- you can never learn too much!  Email me directly and I'll turn you on to what I've found. :)
