RHWC News Reliant's Product Offerings Meet the Needs of a Growing Market
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reliant Home Warranty Corporation (OTCBB:RHWC)
Sr. V.P. Underwriting Steve Hamilton announced today Reliant, through
its Canadian subsidiary Reliant Home Mortgage Canada Inc., has received
near unanimous confirmation, from Lending Specialists participating in
its Beta Test, the anticipated acceptance of its 50-year amortization
products. Additionally, Lending Specialists perceive the innovative job
loss protection to be a substantial selling point.
“We have always felt these features and
benefits are a natural extension of products currently offered to our
clients in the sub-prime market. Our products will enable consumers to
access more housing by keeping their mortgage payments at an affordable
level. The job loss protection included in every mortgage offered by
Reliant will help our customers to keep their homes in the event of job
loss through no fault of their own,” stated
Mr. Hamilton.
According to an article written in The Economist on December 7th,
2006 the Canadian House Price Indicator ranked 3rd
highest in the world, behind Denmark and Ireland, with average
appreciation this year of 12.9% (5.1% greater than the United States).
Further growth of 10.5% is forecasted for 2007 for a Canadian mortgage
credit of $808 billion by year’s end,
according to the Canadian Institute of Mortgage Brokers and Lenders
(CIMBL).
“We feel our unique products and the growing
Canadian market are a perfect match for each other. Through interviews,
we have found a vast majority of Canadians want this coverage and we are
proud to help our clients keep the homes they have worked so hard to
purchase. To bring this coverage back to the Canadian mortgage
marketplace is indeed a high point for us,”
stated Mr. Hamilton.
Reliant securitizes its mortgages by accessing several separate sources
of capital. Mortgages are sold to institutional investors as well as
being securitized through the usual securitization conduits.
