Stephen Caruso was wonderful to work with. He was very patient with every question I ask and if I didn’t understand something, he would go over it with me again.

Dave has been very diligent through a long and difficult process. He overcame the difficulty of getting our house appraised and moved things along to a well-organized closing.

Always enjoyed working with Dominick Rodriguez. LOC money received in timely fashion. Worse part was "wet" signing "100's" of documents with the notary.

At first we thought that getting this loan was going to easy, but when we hit a bump in the road Janette Heyl ( the person we were working with ) was right there with the answer and how to fix it. We could call Janette any day or time we needed her and she would ALWAYS return our calls or answer the e-mail we would send her. Janette we right there from the first day to the day of closing. It felt good knowing that the person on the other end of the phone knew what she was doing and not trying to blow smoke. Great Company to do business with and I will tell my friends about this Company.

I found working with Janette Heyl a delight! She was patient, involved and informative. I feel that I thoroughly understand what I am doing, with her help. I appreciate all that your company has helped me with.

I wanted to refinance a reverse mortgage since my house has substantially increased in value. I started a discussion with Dave Schulte. After he submitted a proposal I had 10 questions that I supplied in an email. I made it clear that I wanted answers in writing because I had been lied to my other reverse mortgage lenders. Dave called me not once but twice and told me he would answer my questions over the phone; that he did not have time to type my answers. I DO NOT TRUST DAVE.

I would recommend Dave and Good Life Home Loans to anyone who may be looking for a reveres mortgage.
Thank you Dave,

Couldn't-wouldn't have done this without you, Shawn Brown. You put me at ease right away and I knew I could trust you. Best decision I have ever made. Thank you and God bless you!!

Dave Schulte took excellent care of my loan refinance. He communicated what was needed, the reason for the information requested, and let me know what to expect at every step of the process. I would recommend Dave and GoodLife Home Loans to anyone who is searching for a reverse mortgage.

Dave is a true professional . He is knowledgeable, patient and thorough. He stuck with our reverse mortgage when others failed us. He is a credit to your company and to his profession. He is also tenacious. He was very helpful in every way.

We are very pleased with Good Life Loans and Dave Schulte. When we first started the process, I was nervous and thought do I have the right loan company. Can I trust them? I didn't know anything about them. I'd called 3 banks and a loan company in my city just to learn there wasn't anyone here who did reverse mortgages and I didn't know where to go next.
So I turned to the internet and started looking for companies that did reverse mortgages. I contacted one company but they put me on hold for 4 days.. During that time Dave Shulte contacted me and the process began. He put me at ease with the whole process. He was very kind, and patient with me. He was very informed and was able to answer all my questions and never made me feel as though they weren't important. No matter how many times a day I called him I was encouraged to call and ask. He would always return my calls quickly. Dave is very knowledgeable, respectful and able to answer all my questions
Today we closed on our loan. We are so excited and happy. From the first phone call to the loan's completion has been much quicker than I thought it would be. It's taken about a month, and we attribute that to Dave Shulte.

Shawn Brown was more helpful than one could have expected. He was very expeditious in taking control and seeing this through to the end. Set everything up to run without a hitch. He and his team worked diligently to see all went well. I would recommend him anyone who is interested in a mortgage.

Dave Schulte was always very helpfull and courtious and would return my calls promptly. I could not have had a better loan manager.

My loan is a Refinance, so I have been through the process before. Ken was very postive all the way, however I started to become anxious when my file went to another department in the Home Office. They seemed to want to find ways to "not do" my loan, even after the apprasial came in over projection! I believe a reverse mortagage is to make life better for seniors, not more difficult. All's well that end's well, thanks to Ken holding my hand.

Today we closed on our Reverse Mortgage only two and a half months after contacting Goodlife! We had previously started the application process for a reverse with AAG last March and the nightmare began! For seven months we were given the run around, calls and emails weren't returned and we were contacted repeatedly to confirm information for which we had provided documentation months earlier. It appeared that AAG did not have enough experienced agents and the ones they had were always rushed and not paying attention. After cancelling our application with AAG we had the extremely good fortune to find Dave Schulte. Not only is he very professional and conscientious he answered all our questions immediately, with no pressure, all the while giving us his personalized attention. Dave made us feel like we were his only clients! We heartily recommend Dave Schulte's kind and considerate attention for anyone considering a Reverse Mortgage! You won't be disappointed!

If we could give 100 stars we would! We first decided about three years ago to try and obtain a reverse mortgage on our home. After many hours of research, it looked like it would be a good fit for us. Now we needed to figure out who best could help us with this process. Again, after much research, we reached out to a lady named Janette Heyl, who at the time worked for another company, It quickly became apparent that Janette was not only knowledgeable in her field, but also able to explain the entire process to us in terms that we could understand. On top of that she has a super personality and provides exceptional customer service. By the time we closed, we knew we had a new friend in Janette. Fast forward to 2021 when we decided , because of rising home values, that we would refinance again into a new reverse mortgage. We quickly realized that Janette no longer worked with the other company, Oh no, what are we going to do?! After a lot of online searching, we were able to find Janette with GoodLife Home Loans. We contacted her and realized that the time spent searching for her had paid off. Again, she handled everything in a prompt and professional manner. We were kept updated every step of the way and now are able to continue to enjoy our retirement. Thanks Janette and thanks to all the staff at GoodLife Home Loans.

We are so satisfied with how Dave Schulte handled our reverse mortgage! From start to finish, he was always available. Even when we would ask the same questions again and again he was extremely patient and was genuinely concerned that we understood everything. We've just met Dave but consider him a true friend!

I contacted GoodLife Home Loans about obtaining a
reverse mortgage. I had the good fortune to be connected to Mr. Kenneth Craynon, and he quickly began assisting me in beginning the process. My situation presented him with quite a few challenges, but he very patiently continued to help me, and he was always very supportive. He always promptly returned my many calls, and he maintained a positive and optimistic attitude. I found that Mr. Craynon was very knowledgeable about the reverse
mortgage process, and he carefully gave me guidance as I progressed through the many steps that were required. I was very happy to actually be approved for this reverse mortgage, and I feel certain that I might never have gotten it without Mr. Craynon's much-needed help! I'm very grateful to Mr. Craynon and to GoodLife Home Loans. I would happily recommend Mr. Craynon (and GoodLife) to anyone who's seeking to get a reverse mortgage. I'm so very happy with my reverse mortgage, and I feel so lucky that I worked with Mr. Craynon! Thank you!
