ABN AMRO Mortgage Group November Production Totals $3.6 Billion

    ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc.
(AAMG), one of the nation's largest mortgage lenders, today released its total
residential mortgage production for the month ended November 30, 2004, for all
of its production divisions.
    AAMG reported November 2004 production* of $3.6 billion, with more than
23,700 loans funded.  AAMG's year-to-date production* (January 1 through
November 30, 2004) totals $52.8 billion.
    "AAMG is experiencing increased consumer interest in both interest-only
and amortizing adjustable-rate mortgages, as well as home equity and second
mortgage products," said Mike Maher, senior vice president.  "This wide range
of consumer needs supports AAMG's focus on diversifying its customer base,
including those in emerging markets, in 2005.
    "In recent months, AAMG significantly improved the variety of products
available through each of its lending channels, including home equity lines of
credit and adjustable-rate products.  Given the newly broadened array of
products offered, AAMG is well-positioned for success in the coming year."
