Ocwen Buying Genworth May Not Bode Well for the Future of Reverse Mortgages

Ocwen will be the new servicer for Genworth Reverse Mortgage Division.

Genworth is presently the third largest providers of reverse mortgages and many have already left the business.

We have been doing reverse mortgages for many years, there used to be dozens of providers, but no more. You know how it goes, when there is less competition…cost for the elderly consumer will surely go up.

Ocwen is one of the largest mortgage servicers in this country. Their service are presently in India and Ecuador, which means they are certainly not adding jobs in this country. They presently have over 2,000 complaints against them, how do you think they will be working with the elderly?

The majority stock holder of Ocwen is Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

At least this one won't set off another 100-post "No, YOU are!" political slap-fest. Count yer blessings.

Ocwen bought Homeq Serivining back in 2010 and outsourced all the work and over 2,000 employees were laid off. Genworth maybe headed down the same road. Sad
