Company History RV was founded in 1998 with the sole purpose of building a smart-client platform for reverse mortgage originators and lenders to be able to streamline their lending process. The reverse mortgage process is quite different from the forward lending space, so the RV's solution is uniquely designed for this lending product. In 2012, RV was purchased by TVC Capital—a San Diego-based private equity company that specializes in helping technology companies grow and thrive. TVC immediately hired mortgage industry veteran John Button as president. Button expanded the management team for RV by hiring experienced reverse mortgage professionals into key positions, including product management, customer support management, and account management. Business lines, services, and products RV is exclusively focused on serving the reverse mortgage industry. Its ReverseVision Suite includes point of sale (POS), disclosure, and closing documents in all states, processing, underwriting, closing, and post-closing features, and an ever-expanding list of built-in interfaces.
