NAHREP Signs Two-Year Partnership with Radian

Agreement Makes Radian the Exclusive Private Mortgage Insurer Partner to Hispanic Real Estate Group

The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), the nation’s largest housing industry trade group for Latinos, has entered into a two-year partnership with Radian Guaranty Inc., the mortgage insurance subsidiary of Radian Group Inc. (NYSE:RDN). The partnership, which could be extended beyond 2015 by mutual agreement, will provide training on private mortgage insurance solutions to the association’s 20,000 members, according to NAHREP officials who announced the transaction at the group’s national convention this week.

“Radian is an excellent partner and the timing for this strategic partnership couldn’t be better,” said Juan Martinez, NAHREP President. “As more Latinos buy homes, those families who do not have the requisite 20 percent downpayment will need private mortgage insurance. Our members must be able to educate buyers on this product.”

Under the agreement, Radian will develop a nationwide training program that educates NAHREP member agents and lenders about private mortgage insurance through on-demand training, face-to-face sessions, video and interactive webinars so they can, in turn, better inform Hispanic consumers.

“Radian and NAHREP share a mutual commitment to ensure that Latinos realize the American dream of homeownership in a sustainable way,” said Brien McMahon, Radian’s Chief Franchise Officer. “The Latino community is critical to the country’s housing and economic recovery and this partnership allows Radian to work directly with NAHREP to provide Latinos with information, tools and resources to make the right choices.”

The partnership comes at a time when the market is entering an era where Latinos are emerging as a consumer force. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, Latinos are expected to constitute 40 percent of the 17 million new households formed from 2010 to 2025.

Radian becomes the latest national brand to secure a Diamond level partnership – the highest possible sponsorship tier – with the 14-year-old minority trade association. This will give the Philadelphia-based private mortgage insurer prominent visibility at the association’s annual convention, its policy conference and chapter meetings across the country.
