HousingWireMutual of Omaha leaders on proprietary reverse mortgage solutionsMutual of Omaha Mortgage lowered the minimum home value for its proprietary SecureEquity reverse mortgage to $300,000, expanding eligibility. The product, available in 41 states and D.C., allows borrowers as young as 55 and can pay off consumer debt, with a 1.5% ARM line-of-credit growth rate. The company ranked No. 2 in HECM endorsements through September.FortuneBest VA home loan lenders in 2026Ten VA home loan lenders are ranked based on three years of mortgage data and customer reviews. Veterans United leads with 171,000 VA purchase loans and 97% of its purchase lending, while Navy Federal and loanDepot tie for the lowest average VA interest rate at 5.804%.CustomerexperiencediveHow one mortgage lender deployed voice AI agents to improve borrowers’ experienceMutual of Omaha Mortgage deployed voice AI agents in February 2025 to automate the first 30 seconds of customer calls, passing the conversation to loan officers. The company measured sentiment to ensure borrowers' satisfaction and that the initial engagement improved loan officer performance.HousingWireWhy direct mail still works for reverse mortgage leadsMutual of Omaha Mortgage hosted a webinar on direct mail for reverse mortgage leads, with director Kelly South arguing it remains effective for reaching older Americans. She said direct mail starts conversations, not just immediate applications, and can be the first exposure to reverse mortgages for cold lists.HousingWireMutual of Omaha explores sale of mortgage unitMutual of Omaha Insurance Co. is exploring a sale of its mortgage subsidiary, Mutual of Omaha Mortgage, to a large reverse mortgage lender. The company has 954 loan officers and closed $11.2 billion in volume over the past year, with $4.2 billion in reverse mortgage volume. No final decision has been made.HousingWireMutual of Omaha leads reverse mortgage lending in MayMutual of Omaha Mortgage remained the nation's largest reverse mortgage lender in May, recording 423 HECM endorsements to maintain a 21.5% market share year-to-date. However, the lender's production declined 14.9% from April and fell 9.4% compared to the same period last year, reflecting broader weakness in the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage market. Overall HECM endorsements continued to decline industry-wide according to data from Reverse Market Insight.HousingWirePrivate-label reverse mortgages surpass HECMs in Q1 2026New View Advisors released its Proprietary Reverse Mortgage Production Index for Q1 2026, showing private-label reverse mortgage production reached $953 million, surpassing the federally insured HECM market ($875 million) for the first time. The 30.6% quarterly increase drove private-label market share to 52% by end of March, up from 30% at the end of 2024, with the top three U.S. lenders (Mutual of Omaha Mortgage, Finance of America, and Longbridge Financial) controlling 55.8% of the market. The firm projects industrywide volumes could exceed $7-8 billion in 2026 if the current growth pace continues.HousingWireReverse mortgage brokers say lender contracts help — with limitsLenders including Mutual of Omaha Mortgage and Longbridge Financial are implementing broker-lender agreements designed to reduce churning in the reverse mortgage industry by protecting broker loan pipelines from retail team interference and monitoring refinance intent signals. Industry experts say these agreements represent positive evolution and better alignment between brokers and lenders, but are limited in scope as they primarily address refinance issues rather than purchase volume growth and cannot fundamentally change brokerage business models. The industry faces a deeper structural challenge of needing to attract new borrowers, particularly affluent clients, rather than relying solely on refinance activity.HousingWireNAMB adds Mutual of Omaha as sponsor for CREV certificationThe National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) announced a partnership with Mutual of Omaha Mortgage as the exclusive sponsor for its Certified Reverse Mortgage Specialist (CREV) certification program, which provides mortgage professionals with advanced training in reverse mortgage lending for senior homeowners. Mutual of Omaha was the No. 1 originator of Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) in 2025, endorsing 5,740 HECMs and ranking third in HMBS issuance with $1.16 billion in volume and 19% market share, despite a year-over-year decline in originations from 6,149. The partnership aims to address growing interest in reverse mortgage products among baby boomers and Gen X homeowners.HousingWireLongbridge, Mutual of Omaha settle reverse mortgage advertising lawsuitLongbridge Financial and Mutual of Omaha Mortgage have agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging improper reverse mortgage advertising practices, with the parties executing a confidential binding term sheet on Jan. 28. A U.S. District Court judge had ruled in May 2025 that the law and facts favored some of Longbridge's claims related to deceptive advertising on websites allegedly controlled by Mutual of Omaha. The parties are finalizing a long-form settlement agreement expected to be executed by February 18, 2026, after which they will file a stipulation to dismiss the case.
