Nan was an excellent representative for her company. She presented me with many different loan scenarios and happily met with my financial advisor and accountant and even my attorney. We all decided that taking out the reverse mortgage was the best thing for me because it put to work some of the large amount of equity I had in my home. This meant that I could draw down less of my investment accounts.
Nan was absolutely fantastic to work with! I decided to finally go through with a reverse mortgage after I met her. I had complete confidence in her and she made me feel very secure through the whole process. I use my reverse mortgage to pay my real estate taxes and it’s a great emotional security knowing that money is there if I need it.
I felt like a boulder had been lifted off my chest. I had worked hard all my life and paid the bills to take care of my wife and 3 daughters. Mostly it had been living paycheck to paycheck. Now with the reverse mortgage, we have the money to do the things we want to do and a cushion for any emergencies.
The reverse mortgage allowed me to bring my father home from a nursing home to the home he wanted to be in.We were able to pay for the at home nursing care with the funds from the reverse mortgage. He was able to stay at home and be with his dog.
Andy helped me save money. My local bank (large bank) was .25% higher and they acted like they were doing me a favor talking about loan programs. They were very helpful and the process was smooth.

WOW – Was I surprised. I never knew a mortgage loan officer could be so helpful. Tom reviewed my refinance and while reviewing our mortgage application and property information, he recommended we apply for a tax reassessment. He told us how to do it and sent all the links and paperwork for us to fill out. We saved $4,042 per year in taxes and even more with the new lower rate.
