What is a reverse mortgage?

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, is a flexible financial product designed for homeowners aged 62 and older. The loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) so that borrowers will not owe more than the value of the home at maturity. With a HECM, also known as a reverse mortgage, you can convert some of the equity in your home into cash to meet financial goals, such as supplementing retirement income, buying a new home, maintaining a quality lifestyle, or preparing for a more secure and rewarding financial future.

All that happens all without giving up ownership or control of your home and without having to make monthly mortgage payments. Of course, as homeowners, you are responsible for occupying the home as your primary residence, keeping up with property maintenance, and staying current on paying property taxes, required insurance and any homeowners’ fees.

Instead of repaying the loan in monthly installments, you or your estate repay the principal, accrued fees and interest when you no longer live in the home.

When it comes to getting your payment, you determine how you’d like to receive your funds based on your individual financial needs and objectives. For example:

  • A monthly payment will supplement your income each month.
  • A lump sum will provide your available funds at once, subject to initial disbursement limits.
  • A line of credit will allow you to withdraw cash as you need it.
  • Any combination of the above will give you the added value of flexibility to meet your personal financial requirements.

High-Quality Service After discussing the reverse mortgage with my niece and being referred to you, I still had some hesitancy about going into the program. However, after speaking with you I became a little more at ease. With that being said, I would like to thank you for your time and expertise in processing my reverse mortgage. With your guidance during the process, you made it less overwhelming. Any questions I had you patiently answered them, so I understood. Thank you for your high-quality service.

Extremely Patient, Courteous, and Helpful My father recently concluded a reverse mortgage for which Mr. Larry McAnarney was the loan officer.  I sat in with my father on several of the discussions to help him through the process.  Mr. McAnarney was extremely patient, courteous and helpful.  He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure that my father understood his options and was comfortable.  His conduct was very professional, while exhibiting genuine care for the elderly client whom he was serving.  Both my father and I felt very confident about his knowledge, ethics and professionalism.  I would recommend Mr. McAnarney to anyone considering the option of a reverse mortgage.
