The group main focus is on reverse mortgage and their main educational tool is via their published mortgage educational books and their international seminars. While they organize and hold seminars within the country the activities of the Center for Mortgage Educational Technologies is international. They thus regularly hold or honor invitations to attend mortgage seminars worldwide. The seminar activities of the CMET center are mainly two types. The first are seminars organized to educate mortgage practitioners on proper ethical methods and practices. Since reverse mortgages are but a new and emerging concept in many mortgage economies there is a great demand for mortgage practitioners in various countries to get better informed. In such reverse mortgage seminars for mortgage practitioners’ basic elements of reverse mortgage loans are discussed. The various types of loans, who qualifies for them, how to screen candidates and all the necessary pieces of information are explained. Usually the participant also gets a copy of one of the appropriate books published by CMET. In some of these seminars the ministry of finance and the mortgage regulatory bodies also attend so as to be able to better formulate guiding policies for reverse mortgage in their country. Apart from organizing seminars for mortgage experts the Center for Mortgage Educational Technologies also gets involved with reverse mortgage seminars aimed at promoting reverse mortgage information among seniors and retirees. A good example of a seminar that the Center for Mortgage Educational Technologies recently participated based on invitation was one held at China. China has recently increased interest in reverse mortgage loans. The concept is still new and in its conceptualization stage although a number of loans have already been given out. The CMET center was invited to speak on a seminar to active mortgage experts and agents. Later they also spoke on a seminar organized for seniors within and close to qualifying reverse mortgage ages. |
