STEVE BUTLER ReverseVision®, a national provider of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) and private reverse mortgage sales and origination technology, announced that it added long-time mortgage professional Steve Butler to the company's sales team, who brings more than 35 years of experience to the company. ReverseVision has been adding resources in key functional areas as part of its strategic expansion plan. In this role, Butler will build upon ReverseVision's strong footprint in the reverse mortgage space. Specifically, he will educate lenders on the oppor- tunity with reverse mortgage prod- ucts and introduce the ReverseVision Exchange (RVX) loan origination sys- tem (LOS) to traditional lenders that are looking to add reverse products. In addition, he will update lenders on ReverseVision's API roadmap to enable reverse products to coexist with their existing LOS system, while also communicating with brokers and the wholesale lending community to begin originating reverse loans using RVX technology. "We are pleased to have someone with Steve's industry experience and talent join our growing team," said Bill Mitchell, CRO at ReverseVision. "We continue to see an increasing demand for our reverse lending technology and adding mortgage professionals like Steve who possess rich industry experience and a proven track record of success will help us better serve clients as ReverseVision continues expanding." Prior to joining ReverseVision, Butler spent just over a decade at mortgage compliance software provider QuestSoft where he spurred the company's sales and business de- velopment efforts for a leading mort- gage product. While there, he worked closely with independent mortgage bankers, banks, credit unions, and LOS vendors. Butler was consistently a top producer at QuestSoft, part of the management team, and helped with the transition after an acquisition by Ncontracts. Butler's lengthy career in mortgage spans working for mortgage technol- ogy companies, lending entities, and consulting firms. He is a seasoned sales professional that has experience in a multitude of mortgage lending facets. "I am excited to join the team at ReverseVision and begin working with lenders to assist in diversifying their product offerings using technol- ogy," Butler said. "There is a great opportunity in reverse mortgages; it's an ideal time to leverage technology like ReverseVision offers to empower lenders with tech tools for success in reverse lending."
