A Rocky Road Made Smooth My particular mortgage refinance was exceptionally complicated involving divorce decrees, lawyers and and settlement issues. Cutting to the chase, the situation was handled with professionalism and grace by my agent Larry McAnarney. At times when I felt like ripping my hair out, Larry was there to help each step of the way and keep the loan on track. It was a dedication far beyond what I would have expected. I'd recommend him to anyone seeking a reverse mortgage in a New York minute.
