From Boarding to Maturity: Understanding Reverse Mortgage Servicing Requirements
2026-04-09 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
Join NRMLA on Thursday, April 9 at 1:00 pm ET for an essential servicing webinar designed to help originators and industry professionals better understand what happens after a reverse mortgage closes.
Servicing questions are among the most common—and most misunderstood—issues borrowers raise. From loan maturity timelines to servicing transfers, LESA notifications, and non-borrowing spouse protections, originators who understand reverse mortgage servicing rules are better equipped to set expectations, reduce confusion, and protect borrowers.
This webinar will feature insights from two highly experienced servicing leaders:

Gail Balettie, Senior Vice President, Client Satisfaction, Celink
Ryan McIntire, Director, Reverse Servicing Controls, Onity Mortgage Corporation

Whether you’re looking to strengthen borrower education, reduce post-closing issues, or simply refresh your servicing knowledge, this session will deliver timely, practical insights you can use immediately.
This webinar is approved for 1 CRMP Credit.

The Influence Factor: Family Dynamics in Reverse Mortgages (SPONSORED WEBINAR)
2026-05-14 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York)
Families of aging parents don’t always come in with a clear plan, but when a reverse mortgage enters the conversation, it’s often shaped by those in the “sandwich generation” balancing care for aging parents and their own children. Knowing how to navigate these dynamics while keeping the borrower’s goals at the center is essential for closing the deal.
In this sponsored webinar, The Influence Factor: Family Dynamics in Reverse Mortgages, you’ll learn how to proactively include family members, understand the psychology behind their reactions, and guide conversations in a way that builds trust.
For experienced brokers, confidently navigating these dynamics could make the difference between a stalled conversation and a submitted application.
Here’s what you can expect to take away from this session:

Proven communication techniques and scripting to maintain control of the conversation while respecting family dynamics
A strategy for involving adult children to build trust, prevent objections, and better understand the emotions driving their concerns
How to turn complex family conversations into stronger borrower outcomes and new business opportunities

Thursday, May 14
