Sarah Hulbert, a 16-year veteran of the reverse mortgage banking
industry and former chairwoman of the National Reverse Mortgage
Lenders Association (NRMLA) Board of Directors has been named
president of Senior Financial Corporation (SFC), as announced
Monday, April 23 by Shad M. Derifield, chief executive officer and
chairman of SFC. Hulbert will lead a team of industry experts in
the expansion of SFC into a nationwide leader of reverse mortgage
retail banking.
"We are very excited that we have been able to acquire Hulbert
and feel, with her expertise and solid reputation, we will be able
to secure the top 10 reverse mortgage lender status by 2009," said
Derifield.
The Rocklin, California-based SFC has been expanding throughout
the country since its inception in 2006, currently operating in
eight states, with plans to expand into all major markets by the
end of 2009.
Hulbert brings with her a proven track record of building
successful reverse mortgage organizations. She most recently was
senior vice president and director of wholesale operations for
EverBank Reverse Mortgage LLC (recently acquired by Met Life).
Prior to joining EverBank, she was senior vice president and
national director of Seattle Mortgage's Reverse Mortgage Division,
which has since been acquired by Bank of America.
A renowned speaker and published author, Hulbert has served on
the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association's Board of
Directors since 2000, serving as co-chairperson from 2003 to 2006,
and as chairwoman ex-officio since January 2007. Additionally, she
currently serves as co-chair of NRMLAs Standards and Ethics
Committee.
2008 marks the first group of Baby Boomers who are turning 62,
the minimum required age to qualify for a reverse mortgage. As
such, many investors are paying close attention to reverse
mortgages as an industry that is poised for significant
growth--10,000 individuals reach the age of 62 every day, with
projections demonstrating there will be 80,000,000 homeowners
eligible for a reverse mortgage within the next 10 years.
