The Reverse Mortgage has helped change my life for the better. I no longer live in constant financial fear. My home has been made both beautiful and comfortable. I couldn’t be happier.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for your assistance in procuring a Reverse Mortgage Loan. As you know, it took me some time to make my decision to go ahead with the loan. Like so many senior citizens, I had this dream to have my home paid in full before reaching retirement age. It took the encouragement of my children to go ahead with the loan. However, one major determining factor was the extensive charts and documentation you provided me. They cleared up many nagging questions. Throughout the loan process, you and your staff worked diligently and patiently with me. You ensured that I clearly understood every step of the process. I especially noticed your professionalism and punctuality on the phone or in person. A special “Thank you” to Ms. Pam Manville for her assistance during the signing and explanation of the documents. Now that the money is in the bank, I find it hard to describe the feeling of comfort and security it gives me. No longer do I have to worry about unexpected expenses, and most of all, I can enjoy carefree vacations while I am still strong and in good health.

I could not have kept my house without the Reverse Mortgage.

(It really helped me)-Such a simple thing- a trip to the market! It isn’t an awful chore and painful-the blueberries can be purchased or whatever. I still cut coupons and am careful, but not to the point of giving up what I need or want. And the hospital bills are paid, and I can purchase my medicines, there are many, now thanks to this assistance. I had the double windows put in and now can sleep early or late. The car noise is way down. Very nice indeed! Sounds silly but I can offer to once in a while to pay for my friends or daughter’s lunch instead of the other way around, every time. In closing I must say this has helped me to feel alive and like a person instead of a burden to my children. I’m only 69 and in better health then a lot of people. Now, I can enjoy the days I have left with pride and as much freedom from debt one can ever have in life. I can even be a little wild, if I want to…a weekend trip, or whatever. As the kids say, I can do as I want, when I want. Thank you so much.

To Senior Homeowners, Once you start retirement the paycheck stops, but the bills keep coming. At that point the only major asset might be your home. Use your home equity, eliminate your house payment. Supplement your monthly income, pay health care and prescriptions, set up an emergency fund, and pay for home repairs, travel, whatever you wish. The most popular Reverse Mortgage for senior homeowners is the Department of Housing Urban Development or HUD Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program. This mortgage is available from HUD. You will never have to repay the loan as long as you live. It’s a wonderful program to get. Call Dean Jones for more information.

My home was fully paid for but when my husband passed away in 93, I found I needed more to live on than his social security. I began using credit cards to gain the equity in my home. I wish that I had known about Reverse Mortgages years ago than I would have not had the credit card debt. My family is fully in favor of my decision to have this Reverse Mortgage. It relives their minds to know that I am able to take care of myself comfortably.

We wanted to have money to travel more often. With the reverse mortgage now, we are able to not worry about house payments. We are free to travel and purchase whatever we want. No more worrying if we can afford something. It is true financial freedom. Thanks!

It’s been quite awhile since you helped me get my reverse mortgage. It’s the smartest move I ever made. Prior to contacting you, I’d mentioned a reverse mortgage to a couple of people including my real estate broker. People’s views were uninformed and suspicious; my broker didn’t know anything about them so advised against it. As usual, I ask people for their opinions, and then do what I want.

I had been in a position where I was unsure how I was going to continue living a life of decent meals, necessary repairs to my condo or, simply, how I was going to go on. I very much wanted to stay in my current home. It had increased in value three-fold, but I could not sell it for I could not afford to move anywhere else!

Now, through the reverse mortgage I have no monthly mortgage payments and a line of equity. Just this week I tapped into the equity to get a Premier walk-in tub. This was a very expensive purchase, but worth every penny for me to be able to safely take a bath, and get the benefit of hydrotherapy at the same time.

To sum it up, you were very informative when we spoke, and you were very helpful in getting me over a few hurdles, and I want to thank you. My daughter has full understanding of where this puts her vis a vis getting this condo on the occasion of my death. (I plan to leave this place feet first.) She is in full agreement with money needed now should be spent now, and wishes the best for me. I became secure and independent!

…As for me, all I feel is; Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

We chose to get this mortgage to make it possible for us each one to stay in our home, if one of us died. This would have been difficult if either one of us passed away especially my husband. The widows retirement would not have met the monthly expenses.

This has been a comfort to each of us and has removed a lot of stress.

Dean: You are a man who keeps promises, a man of integrity.

We have now completed closing on the reverse mortgage and I have perused all the documents, comparing them to our initial conversations, and each one was correctly followed through in all details.

You were my choice of the five mortgage firms that bid for my mortgage, even though you did not make the best offer, and your subsequent professional actions on behalf of me and your company were all correct and justified my selection, which was judgment call based on character evaluation.

Thank you for all your help.
