Reverse Mortgages for Homeowners 55+

Turn the equity in your home into tax-free cash without selling and without regular mortgage payments. Stay in the home you love while you supplement retirement income, pay off debt or help family.

How It Works

Access Your Home's Equity and Stay Where You Are

A reverse mortgage lets Canadian homeowners aged 55 or older borrow against the value of their home. You keep ownership, and no regular mortgage payments are required. The amount available depends on your age, your home's value and its location.

As your broker, we compare lenders, explain the costs in plain language, and help you decide whether a reverse mortgage is the right fit or whether another option would serve you better.

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 Services

Interest 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.
