A reverse mortgage is a loan program designed to enable homeowners 62 years and older to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free cash flow* without having to sell the home, give up title, or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. Instead of making monthly payments to the lender, as with a regular mortgage, the lender makes payments to you. You are required to pay your property taxes, insurance and any other charges associated with your property.
* Consult a Tax Professional.
Reverse mortgage loans are not all we do, but they are our specialty. That’s why we’re know as the reverse mortgage advisors®.

Think about it, if a company advertises that all they do is reverse mortgages, do you think that some of their clients are being sold a reverse mortgage when they shouldn’t be or are they turning them away?
Most likely they are closing the sale.

We are a small, efficiently run reverse mortgage broker. As such, we strive to keep our overhead costs low, which allows us to pass that savings on to you.
