Accounting

1. Becky Smith signed a note in the amount of $200,000 in favor of Country Home Loans, Inc., to obtain a loan to buy a house in Marrero, Louisiana. The note was endorsed "Pay to the order of ____________ without recourse Country Home Loans, Inc." Almost five years later Smith defaulted on the payments. The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) wanted to foreclose on the house and sell it to recover the balance due. Smith argued that the words "to the order of ____________" in the endorsement made the note an incomplete order instrument and that Fannie Mae could not enforce it. What is Fannie Mae's best response to this argument?
