Honest Advice
Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?
It is a powerful tool, but not the right one for everyone. Here is what we walk through with every client before they decide.
Explore All ServicesInterest builds over time
With no regular payments, interest is added to the balance, so the amount owed grows the longer the loan runs.
Equity reduces
The balance is generally repaid when you sell, move out or the home is transferred, which reduces the equity left for you or your estate.
Rates are usually higher
Reverse mortgage rates are typically higher than conventional mortgage rates, so we compare them against your alternatives.
Alternatives may fit better
A refinance, home equity loan or downsizing may suit your goals better. We will show you the numbers side by side.
