Jumbo Reverse Mortgages

For a long time, there has been little secondary market appetite for jumbo reverse mortgages, which many may refer to as proprietary reverse mortgages. That has changed. We now have multiple products available for home values between $500,000 and $6,000,000, with exceptions being made on a case by case basis above the $6 million mark. These loans will carry a higher interest rate than the traditional HECM, however they will allow for far greater loan proceeds at closing. With new product innovation, we have fixed rate lump sum draw options, monthly payment options for a specific term or even line of credit options. Below outlines all of our jumbo product offerings along with their features.

The best part about working with brokers is that we have options for your jumbo reverse mortgage solutions. With a direct lender, you would be stuck to their product offering. Not so with us. We are able to match you to the best product based on your needs, not the lenders.
