Mortgage Industry Officials Warn of Halt to Reverse Mortgage Originations

Boston, MA, Dec 27, 2021 -- Hundreds of senior citizens seeking financial stability through reverse mortgages could see their plans grind to a halt unless the Massachusetts Legislature acts to extend the governor’s COVID emergency order that expired Dec. 15. At issue is a state law that mandates in-person counseling for all reverse mortgage applicants. Massachusetts is the only state in the nation that does not allow reverse mortgage counseling by phone or videoconference. However, Gov. Charlie Baker in April 2020 introduced a COVID-related measure that temporarily permitted counseling by phone or videoconference. That measure, which made it possible for seniors and counselors to interact without fear of COVID transmission, expired on Dec. 15. Had the Legislature extended the order as was expected, the crisis would have been avoided. A bill, H1146, that would make telephone and video counseling permanent is pending. That bill likely won’t be acted upon until next spring. In the meantime, senior homeowners are left with the dilemma that legislative inaction created. George Downey, founder of Harbor Mortgage Solutions in Braintree and a board member of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, urged the Legislature, which meets on Thursday, to pass the measure. “If they do nothing, the ability of hundreds of seniors to leverage the equity in their homes during this extremely stressful time will be rendered impossible. There is no rational reason why Massachusetts should be so out of step with every other state when it comes to giving seniors flexibility in arranging for safe and effective reverse mortgage advice,” Downey said. Multiple factors are contributing to the likely halt, Downey said. Only eight reverse mortgage counselors are currently licensed in the state. None of them are scheduling in-house meetings due to COVID concerns, including the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. As a result, seniors have to drive to one of just six counseling offices in the state, located in Quincy, Agawam, Hyannis, Auburndale, Stoneham and Woburn. “For many seniors, having to drive such long distances for in-person meetings amid heightened COVID concerns is a non-starter. Not having the ability to conduct these sessions by phone or videoconference is an insurmountable obstacle,” Downey said. The Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association and the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association have sent letters to legislative leaders urging passage of the omnibus bill. According to the MMBA, some 1,500 seniors annually in Massachusetts utilize reverse mortgage products.

It ventured into Colombia and Ecuador in September 2020 - despite the hurdles of the pandemic - and more recently partnered with a Chile-based company to deliver custom documentation solutions for professional printers. Under the expert leadership of Mr Garrido, DesignNBuy is set to consolidate its position in Latin America as the go-to solution for web-to-print, as it already has in North America, Europe and Australia.  “Since I started communicating with him, Antonio has demonstrated all the qualities necessary to assume leadership of our daily operations for Latin America and I am confident that he will be able to contribute to scaling the business, while further bolstering our focus on quality and innovation,” says Nidhi Agrawal, CEO of Design’N’Buy.  The print industry has evolved considerably in the last 18 months, with more and more printers embracing the flexibility of web-to-print, selling online and custom designs made to order. This calls for adaptable web-to-print software that can meet a spectrum of needs while keeping local tastes and business customs in mind. Over the last decade, DesignNBuy has consistently evolved its platform and offerings to cater to changing needs while prioritising user convenience.  In particular, the latest iteration offers a plethora of features that will delight both businesses and customers, as the company has been doing since its inception. Also of note is DesignNBuy’s track record of entering previously untapped markets and establishing solid customer bases, often in partnership with regional vendors that provide technological assets as well as market expertise.  In his new role, Mr Garrido will oversee the alignment of the company’s product strategy with its revenue goals while forming new partnerships that will help to exceed customer expectations. “In my 25 years’ experience in the IT industry, I’ve learned to spot a leader-in-the-making when I see one. Design’N’Buy, under the very accurate strategy of its CEO, is one of those companies and I want to be part of their success,” he says of the company.  Having already enjoyed successful stints in Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, Mr Garrido is confident that they can do the same in the rest of Latin America and become the market leaders in the region within the next few years. “We have cemented our position in Mexico, with solid and long-lasting partnerships with local Dealers, and we are already in talks with Print retails leaders in South America. The sky's the limit,” he says.  About the company:  Design’N’Buy provides a complete web-to-print solution that has been driving growth for B2B and B2C print businesses in over 60 countries since 2008.
