I like the new “focus” the name change implies. Yes, we on the origination side are all “for profit” enterprises but I am pursing reverse mortgages to make a living, not a fortune. That means giving honest answers to inquiry questions and correcting assumptions which might cost me a transaction, but I know I’ve done the right thing. Hope to see you in San Antonio.

Excellent move in the name change. “Focus” carries a perfectly targeted connotation for the service(s) the RF team has been providing for the past 5 years and is a prime indicator of where the company sees itself going in the future. Best for Good “Fortune” going forward with rededicated “Focus”.
(Honestly…No pun intended there with the “forward”.)
Regards to both you and Eric, Shannon.
