"Tony and Lyn bring complementary private sector and regulatory experience that will set NatEquity apart from others as the proprietary reverse mortgage industry serves the needs of house-rich cash-poor seniors. Seniors want a financial 'fresh start' with the assurance of lifetime income while they age in place," said Peter Mazonas, NatEquity's CEO.

NatEquity's peer-reviewed and proven valuation IP will make our Company a market leader."
