Generation Mortgage Co., Atlanta, has introduced a new fixed-rate Home Equity Conversion Mortgage product with no origination fee and no servicing fee to provide senior clients more upfront loan proceeds at a lower cost. This Federal Housing Administration-insured reverse mortgage product is available through the company's retail and wholesale production channels. It allows qualified borrowers to receive additional, upfront loan proceeds of up to $10,000 or more, depending on the equity in their home. "We are in the business of helping clients put as much money as possible back into their pockets, and the best way to do that is by regularly evaluating how we can maximize each client's reverse mortgage," said Scott Peters, president and chief executive of Generation Mortgage. "This attractive option is a function of positive market conditions. It makes sense for seniors to investigate this option now as these conditions can change at any time."
