With a regular mortgage

just advice...
With a regular mortgage, you borrow a lump sum of money and make monthly payments to your lender to pay it back. Part of your payment goes towards the principal (the amount you borrowed) and part goes to paying the interest. Your equity grows, and the balance of what you owe goes down over time.

With a reverse mortgage, you borrow money from the lender, based on the amount of equity you have in your home. The lender may send you the funds from the reverse mortgage in one lump sum payment, a series of monthly payments, or some combination of those. But no matter how the money gets distributed to you, the lender adds interest each month to the balance you owe (the principal). That means your balance goes up over time, increasing the amount you have to pay, and you have less and less equity in your home.

Stephanie is an exceptional mortgage specialist

Working with Stephanie Caero was a pleasure from beginning to end. I knew that she came with long experience, and Stephanie lived up to that expectation. My application had some complexities, but she handled them with confidence. She answered my questions immediately, kept me posted, was friendly, accessible, professional and always on top of things. Knows her stuff front and back. Stephanie is way above the norm, in my own long experience. I enthusiastically recommend Stephanie.

I would like to thank Glenda for her assistance in processing my reverse mortgae. I am a retired mortgage broker and as such familiar with the product. Glenda ensured the process went smoothly up to the underwriting. I would suggest that you advertise that this product is also available to purchase a home, something I had to confirm before starting the process. My only other concern is that there was further documentation requested from my lawyer by your underwriters after he was told the file was complete.

Awesome Customer Service

Dealing with Glenda Neill was an absolute pleasure! She took the time to explain how reverse mortgage works AND even if I thought I had a silly question she answered it for me. From the very start she was friendly, professional and knows her stuff. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a reverse mortgage.

Glenda has a very welcoming manner with new clients and is efficient and quick in responding to questions. The only stressful part can be one’s level of competence in the computer world and in understanding of banking jargon. All in all it went well.

Authentic Communication is Appreciated

What could have been an exhaustive & confusing experience was simplified with care, understanding and patience by Agnes. We had plenty of questions, all of which were answered sincerely & slowly (hint: my wife and I are not spring chickens) until we were finally able to make the right decisions. Thank you for your patience, knowledge, and care.

Acquiring a reverse mortgage, pain-free.

Each step was clearly delineated and we were kept fully informed alone the way.
Glenda Neill was the individual who introduced us to the process of obtaining a reverse mortgage and did a fine job of facilitating the successive steps by always being available to answer any questions with precision and patience.
