The Basics

A loan built for this stage of life

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is insured by the FHA and lets homeowners 62 and older draw on their home's equity without a monthly mortgage payment. You keep the title and continue to live in your home — you're just responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and upkeep.

No monthly mortgage payments

You're never billed a monthly principal-and-interest payment for as long as you live in the home.

FHA-insured protection

HECM loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, with built-in consumer safeguards.

Stay in your home

You keep the title and can stay as long as it remains your primary residence and you meet loan terms.

Flexible payout options

Choose a lump sum, a line of credit, fixed monthly payments, or a combination of the three.

The Process

From first call to funded, in four steps

Every reverse mortgage includes independent HUD counseling, so you always have an unbiased third party reviewing the loan with you before you commit.

1

Free consultation

We'll talk through your goals, walk through your numbers, and see if a reverse mortgage fits — no obligation.

2

HUD counseling

You'll complete an independent counseling session, required by HUD, before your application moves forward.

3

Application & appraisal

We handle the paperwork while a licensed, independent appraiser determines your home's current value.

4

Closing & funding

You sign, the loan closes, and your funds arrive the way you chose — lump sum, line of credit, or monthly draws.

Myths & facts about reverse mortgages

"The bank will own my home."+

Myth. You keep the title in your name. Fact: the lender places a lien on the home, the same as with any traditional mortgage — ownership stays with you.

"My kids will inherit the debt."+

Myth. HECM loans are non-recourse. Fact: your heirs will never owe more than the home is worth when the loan becomes due, even if the balance is higher.

"I could lose my home if I live too long."+

Myth. As long as you meet the loan's terms. Fact: keep paying property taxes and insurance, and maintain the home, and you can stay for as long as you live there.

"It's only for people who are desperate for cash."+

Myth. Many borrowers use it proactively. Fact: retirees increasingly open a reverse mortgage line of credit as a planning tool, well before they need the funds.
