Job Well Done I would like to thank Larry McAnarney for a job well done in handling my grandmother’s reverse mortgage. Larry is very professional and knowledgeable of the entire process. If there was information that needed to be explained, confirmed or followed up on, Larry followed up with me in a timely manner. Recognizing that I am my grandmother’s POA, Larry was very patient as he walked me through the process on her behalf. I am at ease in knowing that as my grandmother continues to get older and deal with her various medical conditions, she will not have to worry about the finances. If you are considering a reverse mortgage for you or your loved one, I highly recommend Larry McAnarney. He will guide you through the process with ease.

Thank You, Larry! Larry McAnarney is our reverse mortgage loan specialist. He did an excellent job of explaining the reverse mortgage programs, the process, requirements, how the monies would be accessed if approved. He followed up with me multiple times before I made the decision to proceed which I really appreciated. He assisted me in wading through all of the requirements in the application process. He was always available for a question either by email or phone. He was always encouraging and optimistic about our chances for success. He was helpful and very clear as to all the documents I needed to prepare and always allowed me a reasonable amount of time to comply. As our house is in trust there were further "hoops to jump through." Larry truly went above and beyond the call of duty on our behalf with the underwriters. I have no doubt that his extra hard work won the approval of our reverse mortgage. I couldn't recommend him more highly. He has my thanks!
