​Reverse Mortgage Lenders

There are many reverse mortgage companies to choose from. Some of the largest reverse mortgage lenders use a centralized call center and the client may never meet with a loan officer face to face. Your information is often gathered over the telephone and an application is mailed to you or an appointment is arranged with a notary to attend the application signing. 
 
My commitment is to meet with you personally if you decide to apply for a reverse mortgage loan.  For your convenience, I will travel anywhere in South Carolina for a face to face application signing.  I have over 16 years experience as a Reverse Mortgage Consultant and can walk you through the entire loan process every step of the way.

What is a HECM for Purchase?

A financing option specifically for home buyers who are age 62 and older that may help you get the funds you need to buy the home you want.

It enables you to purchase a home by combining a one-time investment of funds with the loan proceeds from a HECM to complete the transaction. The home you are purchasing secures the loan. Click the HECM For Purchase button at the top of the page for more information.
