Editor’s Note: NADP Expands Its Mission To Serve An Evolving Default Industry

The National Association of Default Professionals, an association serving the real estate default services industry, has completed a strategic transformation to expand beyond its REO roots and reflect the entire mortgage default lifecycle. Formerly known as REOMAC, NADP now represents professionals from early-stage delinquency through REO disposition, and has introduced enhanced certification programs, a modernized brand, and a more streamlined member experience.

Founded in 1985, NADP became known for its commitment to education and high standards in the management and disposition of real estate owned properties. As the industry evolved, so did the organization’s scope. Today, NADP supports professionals involved in early-stage default, loss mitigation, foreclosure, and REO. Its membership includes servicers, asset managers, attorneys, brokers, title professionals, agents, and other specialists who play a role in the default lifecycle.

To reflect its expanded role, NADP has updated its educational offerings, including its Default Pro Certification for both residential and commercial professionals. Each track is designed to help members stay current on industry expectations, build practical skills, and develop confidence in working with distressed assets. All courses are available on demand and include virtual, in-person, and Q&A sessions, and are open to both members and non-members.

In another effort to better serve members, NADP has launched a new website at defaultpro.org to provide easier access to educational content, event information, and member resources.

“With mortgage delinquencies rising across both residential and commercial sectors, the need for well-informed, connected professionals has never been greater,” said NADP President Glenn Brooks. “We’ve evolved to meet that moment. Our expanded mission reflects a broader, more inclusive approach to default management—one that spans the full lifecycle of defaulted loans. Whatever your role in the mortgage default industry, NADP is where the industry’s most committed experts come together to lead, learn, and raise the bar for everyone involved.”

Networking remains central to NADP’s member experience. Its annual events are intimate by design, enabling meaningful interaction between peers, servicers, and vendors. Attendees participate in candid conversations, gain firsthand insights, and walk away with real relationships, not just business cards. Members also benefit from monthly webinars that allow colleagues to crowdsource answers and share solutions.

“The real value of NADP is the access to people who’ve worked in every corner of the default space,” said Stephanie D. See with Results Real Estate. “I’ve been able to ask questions, compare strategies, and get real answers from people who’ve seen it all. That kind of insight has helped me avoid costly mistakes and approach default challenges with greater confidence.”

NADP membership is open to professionals working directly or indirectly in the default space, including affiliate roles such as agents, attorneys, technology providers, and vendors. Corporate memberships are also available for firms that want to enroll multiple employees and promote their brand.
