Certified Reverse Mortgage Professionals

Certified Reverse Mortgage Professionals

The National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association is proud to announce the members who have met all the qualifications and have received their Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional designations.

Each of the designees was required to have a minimum of two-years of experience in the reverse mortgage business and close at least 50 loans; take 12 hours of continuing education courses as well as NRMLA’s three-hour Ethics Course; pass a background check; and sit through a three-hour exam. The certification is valid for three years, during which time designees must sit for an additional 12 hours of continuing education per year to be re-certified.

“We were intent on creating a Certification that is rigid enough to demand the respect of professionals and government officials and the confidence of America’s seniors,” says Peter Bell, NRMLA President. “On behalf of the entire membership, we congratulate our inaugural designees all of whom, have demonstrated a deep understanding of the product and an eagerness to continually pursue additional education.”

“Through this process, I discovered a lot of things I wouldn’t otherwise have had the opportunity to learn,” says Anissa Palmatier. “What the underlying political reasons were in how they structured the reverse mortgage. What everyone else does in the process from beginning to end. My knowledge is much more comprehensive now which should give my borrowers much more confidence in me.”

The CRMP designation was created by an Independent Certification Committee comprising members of NRMLA that will administer the program, while working in concert with Professional Testing, Inc. For three decades, Professional Testing has developed more than 2,500 programs, administered over 1.2 million exams, and maintained licensure and professional certification examination programs for 125 occupations.
