Finance of America Reverse Reviews

I got a reverse mortgage from FInance of America Reverse. The loan experience was okay, but it was too repetitious sometimes. The rates and terms that I got were as good as anybody else's.

I lost my husband and I couldn’t afford a health payment then when I looked into getting a reverse mortgage, the people at Finance of America Reverse were very nice and polite. The loan officer particularly was a great person. She answered all of my questions and I loved the way she helped me. Their rate was a little high but the application process was very easy. I haven't had any problems at all since working with Finance of America Reverse and life has been very easy.

A reverse mortgage was what we needed during the time and Finance of America had less fees than some of the other ones that we were looking at. They were pretty much upfront about everything. The process took 45 days and it wasn’t too painful. The first guy that we dealt with for the first 30 days was fantastic. They apparently let him go during the middle of the process, but the person who stepped in helped us through it. FAR was exactly what we needed and my experience was great.

I'm 67 years old and my wife and I hadn't planned on moving again. We got a reverse mortgage strictly for an investment like we didn't wanna get all the money at one time. As a matter of fact, we hadn't planned on getting any of it until about 13 to 15 years from now. But I recently changed my mind. I think I'm gonna get about 6,000 or 7,000 now and that's about it.

I had a reverse mortgage before on my previous property and it allowed me to pay off the renovation. So, I paid for it out of my savings. The application with Finance of America Reverse was quick and very easy. They worked quickly and were very capable. The application and underwriting took a little less than 45 days and everything went smoothly. Although, the communication could have been better. One department called and said that they needed some papers or some copies of some forms which I knew I had sent. When I called our loan officer, she said she had them there. They just don’t talk.

We looked at a lot of companies to take equity out of our house. Finance of America Reverse was there and they did a good marketing promo. However, the application was terrible and we had a frustrating experience. There were a lot of miscommunication and lack of training. We had to get the vice president involved because they gave me someone new that couldn't find the end of her thumb. Then I was turned from that new person to another person that couldn't handle it. The first person was more interested in her children, what her personal life was and why she couldn't be at the office. She wasn't detail-oriented enough and she didn't check off the boxes. The second gentleman got flustered and he couldn't explain to me the HUD-1 Statement. He was trying his best, but they didn't give him enough tools. The vice president also had an attitude in the beginning.

I worked with FInance of America before after they were recommended by a family friend years ago. One of their representatives who I had worked with before, Jason, called me and asked if I wanted to go ahead and take another reverse mortgage. The equity of my house had gone up and because it gives me a comfortable living, I said yes. He sent me the paperwork and then I had the notary public come a couple of times. They were very expedient. Jason was a very positive and nice person. He answered all my questions and he did a great job on the phone.

Our agent Amber ** was fantastic! She was available to answer any and all questions we had from start to finish any time during the day and into the evening. She responded quickly to any and all questions even once when I interrupted her at her daughter's sporting event. We can't say enough good things about the way Amber ** helped us AND in record time... less than 3 weeks from start to finish! Donna and I highly recommend Finance of America and Amber **. Very happy customers right here!

Somebody else from another company called and went over a lot of the figures over the phone with me. But Finance of America Reverse immediately sent me a read-out paperwork through FedEx with all the figures so that I could actually have them in my hand and go over them by myself rather than just talk to somebody over the phone about it.

Early this year, my husband, Ron, talked to somebody on a cold call and was very impressed with the information he got. Then they sent us all the stuff, which was like getting a book, and after reading it, it sounded like going with Finance of America Reverse was good idea at this point in our lives. So, we called them back. The rep that we dealt with, Janella, was a darling and it seemed like we've known her forever. That was the kind of relationship we had on the phone with her and it was so positive. Things went swimmingly and we're very happy with it.

For the last two years, my son had been paying my tax and insurance for the house. It was $6,000 a year and he wasn't gonna be able to do it anymore. I didn't have that much extra money, too. So, I decided to take a reverse mortgage rather than end up going in any kind of debt. One time, I put in reverse mortgage on my iPad and I was just checking out and that was the end of that. And in about a week after that, I got a phone call from a fellow from Finance of America Reverse up from Indianapolis. He was very nice and helpful. So, I decided I might as well go for it.

Finance of America Reverse's application process took over a period of three months and they did a great job. Jill, the loan officer, was on her game all the time. She knew what was going on and was always available. She called us every other day to straighten things out if we had something. We just emailed her and she emailed us back or called us and we would call her. Everything worked out good.

Finance of America Reverse offered me more money for a monthly income, but the downfall on it was those people were calling me every day and bothering me. They rushed everything through as far as the application process. When I decided to do the loan, they had it done in about four days. They had the appraiser here and they got a hold of the other guy for me to fill out all the closing papers. After I signed the final papers, they were supposed to pay me $250 at the closing and pay me monthly. They closed the house on the 6th, but they never paid me for the month of September. They paid me on the 3rd of this month, but they skipped September on me.

The application process with Finance of America Reverse was good and I didn’t take long at all. I did it for my dad. And then, we had an interview with supposed to be an unbiased third party. That was done with my dad together over the telephone and that went well and my dad was tickled. It came through just exactly as it was supposed to. The loan officer that I worked with was awesome as well. I liked that she was on top of it. She got the documents to me and she was reminding me. She would call me after hours when it was late and return my calls. I could not have asked for a better experience. So if I needed one, I would go there again. If I needed to recommend somebody, I’d recommend they go to Finance of America.

I talked with our financial advisor and he recommended Finance of America Reverse. They were a local company and it seemed like a natural fit, in contrast with the company we started out with where everything would be done over the phone. Finance of America Reverse's application process was very clear. Our first appointment was with Matt. He made everything clear, simple, and easy for us to understand. We went through the counseling program and it was a wonderful experience. Also, the rate and terms were very fair. It's almost like a dream. Everything went super from the man that did the appraisal and we couldn't have asked for anything any better. I would recommend their company to anyone.

We were looking to do some stuff around our house and to not be so tight every month, and a reverse mortgage was a good way to do that. I like Finance of America and their rates. Robert, the loan officer that we worked with, was very knowledgeable and straightforward. He wasn't holding back anything and trying to roll the ball over. He gave us plenty of opportunity to ask questions and he answered them to our liking. The application process was a piece of cake. The whole process wasn't that long and it took 30 days or less. We had to wait for the appraiser, then we had to wait for the government people to talk to us for the counseling. That part was fast but waiting for them was what took up the time.

My mom needed extra money. I convinced her about getting a reverse mortgage but she was nervous about doing it. She's afraid she's gonna lose her house. Josh, the guy from Finance of America Reverse who helped us, was so good at going over the process and explaining to my mom, and then I would go over it with her. And it was easy to do. The process was quick. Josh stayed on it and he got everything to us right away. The guidance we received was excellent. It went really fast. It would've been only four weeks. It was just a little bit more complicated with my mom than a normal person would be.

I have a permanent disability that I've obtained and I don't want to work in the market place. Finance of America Reverse gave me some choices that otherwise I wouldn't have. The flexibility that Finance of America supports me, having to do with the house that we have, is why I did a reverse mortgage with them. I've done business with Finance of America for many years in the consumer credit process, and was very successful at that with Mitsubishi. The simplification process was very similar. Finance of America's application took 30 days. Toby, the person I had on the other end, was very energetic, very eager, and always answered my questions. He made it a much quicker process than other people would have so that was a plus. I was provided with the materials and was able to read them with no problem. The rate and terms were fair. Finance of America Reverse is a good deal if it works for you.

Finance of America Reverse called me and the application process went pretty smooth. Their rep sounded like he knew what he was doing and he explained things really well. Working with them has helped me a lot. I've paid off some doctor bills and I'm getting some new carpet that I needed really bad and getting my car fixed. I had no problems at all and I was pretty happy with it.

We applied to a lending provider who turned us down and then I tried to apply for some grants and didn’t get anywhere that way. I looked at the internet for other reverse mortgages and Finance of America Reverse was the first one that popped up and I thought I would try. So, I gave them a call and they were Godsend. The application and underwriting process took a while. My husband wasn’t pleased with all the paperwork and the time it took, which I expected, because his hands hurt and he couldn't sign that many papers. Other than that, it was a pretty smooth process. Our loan officer said he was going to pray for us that the loan would go through and I've never had that kind of experience with a rep before. Also, he said I could call him anytime I had questions. It's nice to know that he's willing to accommodate me.

I had a lot of medical bills and I've been widowed. When I was married, we incurred a lot of debt. So, I decided to clear off my debt. I looked into getting a reverse mortgage and Finance of America Reverse was recommended to me. It wasn't that hard to get it through them. I had to do a lot of paperwork and it still isn't complete because I had to have my driveway repaved and my garage painted, and then I'd get $3,800. Andrew, the loan officer that I worked with, was fantastic. He was extremely friendly and thorough, and he made sure that I got what I wanted. The rate and terms of the reverse mortgage were fair. I've had an excellent experience with Finance of America. Working with them was fantastic because I don't have debts anymore.

Finance of America Reverse's initial fees was a lot less and they had more information for us. The person that walked us through it was very knowledgeable and on top of things all the time, so it went well. The rate and terms were acceptable but I was not happy to have to do the adjustable rate mortgage. I wish we could have been able to get a fixed rate but we couldn't. Other than that, the application and underwriting process went very quickly and it took six weeks. I felt very comfortable working with them. It seemed like every morning, the rep had a phone call with another step to take and like she was very knowledgeable. We didn’t have any glitches along the way.

Will **, Reverse Mortgage Specialist, did an outstanding job helping us successfully get a reverse mortgage. He was professional, very friendly and extremely knowledgable of reverse mortgage loans. He is a valuable asset to Finance of America.

I retired early and I have a disability. So, sooner or later, the money runs out and it's getting to that point where those security isn't gonna quite cover everything. It was a hard choice because most people don't recommend reverse mortgage but I decided to look into it. Finance of America Reverse didn't have upfront fees like everybody else did so I went with them. They waived 4,000 to 5,000 with the fees that nobody else would.

We decided to keep the house of my mom and dad and not get rid of it. I did a lot of work on the outside. We've also done some work on the inside and got it up nicely. So, we decided to get some money and fix the house up so whenever we're gone, my family will have something. We decided to go with Finance of America in getting a reverse mortgage. The application process was fairly easy. Everything was all right with the lending process. The loan officers were all nice and easy to get a hold of. Nicole, an adviser there, was really nice to us all the time. We liked the rate and terms of the reverse mortgage that we received. It was very nice and good, and it could not be any better. Now we know that we are gonna have the money that we want if we wanna use it and we can do what we can to our house. It's a really nice home and it has been in the family for over 80 years. Everybody at Finance of America has been good to us.

My husband had stage 4 cancer, and we ate through quite a bit of our savings during his illness. I also didn’t wanna worry about losing my house. I started out with three different companies, researched them, and talked with representatives of each company. I felt most comfortable with the fact that the representative from Finance of America Reverse was in Indiana, and all the others were in California. I thought somebody who was a little more local met or understood my needs better than somebody in California. Andrew was the name of my representative, and he was very personable. He was easy to talk to. He answered all my questions. He returned my calls or my emails very promptly. I did not feel pressured. One of the other companies, in particular, made me feel very pressured, and I didn’t appreciate that. Overall, it was a very good customer service with Finance of America Reverse.

I wanted a reverse mortgage to be part of my retirement plan. The house is worth about $3,000,000 plus and I have quite a lot of equity that I wanted to draw on. Also, I couldn't afford to get on a credit or something because I'm not working. I am retired so, that may be difficult. In a way, the only choice for me was to go for that. Somebody called me and told me what I could do and one thing led to another and finally, somebody from Finance of America Reversed called and said he actually works with the lender so he could give me better terms. Finance of America, as far as I could see, has the best plan and the best numbers and rates. And the qualifying factors were easier than the rest of them. The only other one that I inquired with was AAG and they were outrageous.

We chose a reverse mortgage to set up a line of credit for the future and in the event that we end up having to go into that for income rather than having a nurse come to the house. My son has been in the reverse mortgage business for years, and I had him help select Finance of America Reverse. The process seemed long but a lot of it had to be done long distance, so I understood that. The rep was right on the money with everything she talked about doing and preparing us for it, explaining in detail about what we were doing and why we were making the choice of doing that. She also allowed us to ask lots of questions. Though I thought the rate was a whole percent higher than what our regular mortgage was, it was okay.

Everything to do with Finance of America Reverse was great. We just moved into our house that we weren't going to want to leave to relatives. We got to fairly, steadily building up credit card debt and the repayments were beginning to get a little bit out of hand, so a reverse mortgage seemed like the obvious solution. I tried to get a hold of AAG and I went to LendingTree which came up with 5 loan providers, of which three took the trouble to get in touch. The rep of Finance of America, Thomas, was very helpful, answered all my questions, and wasn't pushy. He was the nicest guy to work with and they came up with the best offer out of the three offers that we got, and that was a difficult combination to go against.

The cost of the deal that Finance of America Reverse was able to provide had me doing business with them. They were competitive. I gave them pricing from other reverse mortgage companies that they were able to meet or beat. From start to finish, the lending process took under 60 days. Most of my dealings were with Joseph, my loan officer, and it went fairly well with him. Although there are always a few bumps in the road, he was there to answer my questions. It would not really matter which company you dealt with as long as you felt good with your loan officer and the rates and pricing were competitive. Working with Finance of America Reverse was a good situation.

I was recently referred to Jill from my realtor. I am very upset and do not know how/or why this got so far. I applied for a loan and was told that I was qualified. My family and I were looking for a home in the Sparks area. We had looked online and just skimmed through Zillow/Homes.com and so on. I had a realtor prior to looking. We did not have any idea of what we would qualify for. So we applied with Jill. We gave her all the documents that were requested and she kept in contact with us regularly.

My mother needed to pay the taxes on the house, and the Finance of America Reverse personnel that I worked with, Cindy, was fabulous. She answered all my questions and calls, walked us through it, held our hands and got back to us right away. I didn't have to chase her down. I was also impressed with the fact that she could break it down into terms that we could understand. There were a lot of jumping through hoops during the process plus a lot of paperwork, and that was okay because we're educated on what we are doing. The biggest part was that since I'm also on the title, there was something hung up with Synchrony Bank. It took me and the title person, Charlie, to get us taken care of. I was pretty satisfied with everything that FAR was doing and how quickly they were doing it for us.

I had a really good experience dealing with the company. Presley devices that I had Travis and William that walk me from beginning to end, answer all of my questions and I would do it all over again if I had them on my team as working through. It couldn't have a better experience.

I needed some cash money. Finance of America best suited my needs from the information I had beforehand and they were very courteous and good-mannered so I picked them. The application and underwriting process took three weeks. The loan officer was very helpful, very thorough and she knew the answers to all the questions I had. Their rates seem to run really good. I’m happy with Finance of America. They helped me in my situation and I’m sure they can help someone else.

The loan process was complicated, but my loan officer answered all my questions. Monica was the consummate professional. She bent over backwards to make sure our loan went through. I would be pleased to recommend Monica to anyone I know who is interested in a reverse mortgage.

I had a house that’s paid for. I’m also retired and I needed more funds. A reverse mortgage seemed like a good way to get some funds without taking a loan. Finance of America Reverse had very good reviews. The application process was excellent. And from start to finish, the whole thing took only a couple months. They did a great job. Randy, my loan officer, was very efficient and she answered all my questions. She was also available any time that I needed to talk to her. Also, I get monthly statements and the rate has been great. Working with Finance of America Reverse has helped me a lot. I had savings so I can take it easier on my investments and I can use this now. I use the equity in my home. I would recommend Finance of America Reverse.

At one time, I was thinking about selling my home. My husband had passed and I was getting older. But I didn't know where I would go when I've sold the house. Then a lady spoke to me about reverse mortgages and it has helped me in different ways. My bills were overloading me and the mortgage helped me to get out of debt, not to have all that burden on me and to put money aside that would be there when I really need it.

I reviewed five different companies before I made my decision to go with Finance of America. The people that I worked with at Finance of America were the most honest and realistic about what I could and couldn't do, and they were very helpful in understanding my circumstances and working through those issues. I had done a lot of prep work during the application and once I explained my situation to my representative, he and I took the necessary steps upfront to obtain all of the required information for the underwriters so that they wouldn't have any questions.

Finance of America Reverse was extremely helpful in explaining everything. The application was long and thorough. By time they got everything organized the way it should have been, it was probably weeks. I wished there was a way it can be quicker, but I guess with anything involved in the government, there's no shortcut. On the other hand, their reps were quite knowledgeable and the rates during that time was fair. Finance of America allowed me to retire when I planned.

This is my dad’s second reverse mortgage and his first mortgage ran through his money, so we went ahead and refinanced for the second reverse mortgage. The process with Finance of America was easy and it took 30 days. The representatives were good too. My dad had his loan closed in July but here we are almost in October and my dad has not received his $500 monthly installment like he was supposed to get. I called my agent and they were supposed to figure out why he hasn’t received his money yet. It hasn’t been very good at all. But other than that, everything was fine.

I went through the process of getting a reverse mortgage at Finance of America Reverse last May 1st and it was mistakenly set up to withdraw a lot of credit anytime rather than a monthly payment. I tried to get it fixed but I was gonna be out of town for two weeks, but there was almost a week before, so I called and asked them to email me the forms to change the line of credit to a monthly payment. The email never came until long after we had left. By the time I came home after two weeks, I found the form in the mail, filled that out immediately and sent it in. I then got a letter which said that I had filed it too late, and I would have to start the process all over again.

I wanted to have a security if something would happen to me and I liked the way Finance of America Reverse presented their program. The application process for the reverse mortgage was long, where the application and underwriting took a month, but they did all they could. We just learned about some things and we got some things that we weren't really clear on. Yet Cara was very good and her knowledge was most impressive. She tried to help us out the best she could and I was very comfortable working with her. The rate and the terms have been fine too. Working with Finance of America Reverse let me feel more secure. We just hope that they don't go wrong or that they'll lead us on for a year then hammer us after. Still, if you're considering FAR, try them out.

We remodeled and it took more money than we expected. The Finance of America Reverse reps were very pleasant but the process took forever. Things seemed to have to be done in triplicates and it took forever for people to get back to us. The process was painstaking and we thought of canceling it and going with another reverse mortgage company but other than that, it got accomplished. The whole process took about three months. Also, there was a difference in the amount of money that we were supposed to get but that got squared away. We got about $50,000 and another $50,000 in escrow for the insurance and taxes.

The mortgage company was absolutely incompetent and unprofessional. They didn’t know what the hell was going on. They waited until the last minute to give us all the stipulations and prolonged the mortgage thing for about a month. That was a long time and all in all, the process took four months. I'm retired and I was buying a house. My lawyers, the sellers and their lawyers were mind-boggled by the whole thing. It was unbelievable. Finance of America Reverse put us all through hell. It was an absolute nightmare and I never wanna go through it again. I was very dissatisfied.

There was a need to cut down expenses. I had worked with Finance of America Reverse two years ago when we got approved but we didn't make the grade. I liked their service the first time around so I came back to them two years later and the application process went smoothly for us. The loan officer was great. I'd been recommended to her the first time around, so we went to her again. We just didn't have the value of the house that we needed to meet their financial expectation. The big thing was with two-year interval, the value of the property went way up. So by the time we got to the second time, we were okay. The loan officer called us a lot and was always there when we needed her if we had any question. A couple times, she had to go back to her people to get a break on their financial requirements which we got. So, she was very considerate, very polite, couldn't be any better. The whole process took at least a month.

I wanted to reduce my monthly expenses, so I decided to do a reverse mortgage. I live in a condo that was not HUD-approved and Finance of America did the work to get it approved. The application process was easy enough, but it took a long time to get the HUD approval. The rate and terms I got were fair as well. The representative's diligence also impressed me, but Finance of America's brokers have been calling me too much, asking me if the loan has been approved or if we have the payoff letter from the bank. Other than that, Finance of America has been very helpful. They undertook a task that I didn’t think anybody would do.

Doing a reverse mortgage was the right thing for me to do. Finance of America was ranked number one everywhere I looked, and they impacted my life in a positive way. I had very good interactions with the sales rep. If she had any questions, she’d get me through all of those immediately. The process of getting the mortgage was very easy, smooth and computer-oriented. The application and underwriting took three weeks and the rate and terms were very fair. Finance of America Reverse is a very professional group that knows what they're doing. Deal with them.

I needed to have a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan. Finance of America Reverse gave me the best terms. However, the process of obtaining the mortgage with them was like pulling teeth. It was a long, drawn-out affair. I don’t know all of the rules that they have to abide by. But it was not their fault. The government started this thing and they backed it, but they made me go through a lot of bells and whistles. I got some money when I had a dock that had to be replaced. We’re getting ready to do that now. And before they’ll give me a loan or credit down the road, I gotta get the dock fixed right now. They set aside money for the dock, but I can’t get to the money until after I pay for it. Even so, the rep was more than helpful. But she was pregnant so she wasn’t there for the last couple of weeks. Nevertheless, Finance of America Reverse did their job and their closing cost was a little lower than everybody else.

I ran out of money so, I looked into a reverse mortgage. I am deaf and Finance of the America Reverse was the first one that I could understand. I spent my life not being in debt and now I am in debt. I don’t especially like it, but it was something I had to do. The process which took three months was extremely horrifying, stressful and no fun at all. It might have been better if they could converse between each other. Nobody seemed to know what was going on and everybody was blaming someone else. It’s not something I’d go through again and I would not recommend to anyone else.

I went to three lending providers, talked to them and wanted Finance of America. They have more friendly and good people. There's a lot of paperwork for the application. It took a couple of months because we're trying to get things together and I was gone quite a bit. But I finally got their appraisal. The process worked fine for me and the rep was great. She called me. If I needed to ask her something, I called her and she was always willing to answer my questions. They were pretty easy to deal with and I would recommend them.

I was in the hospital with a heart operation and my husband was in for three months. When I got out of the hospital, he was still in and then he died. Things were really going downhill. There was still a $5,000 balance on the mortgage and the mortgage company was really pressing me. Plus there were two of us in the hospital at the same time. One bill was $80,000 and the other one was $100,000. I don’t have to pay all of that but there's pretty much I have to pay and I'm trying to pay them. Everything was crashing on me and I was worrying whether I was gonna be thrown out in the street? I was really in a mess.

Finance of America Reverse was great. I liked their integrity, their reviews, and how they presented themselves. I wanted to have a reverse mortgage in my retirement plan to get extra income. I called them and they sent me an application. The loan officer that I worked with was trustworthy and responsive. The whole application process was very easy. It took over a month, but that was by my control. Also, the rate I got was the best by far.

I had a mortgage with the Rocket Mortgage first but I’m not sure what the deal was. They gave me some information and then I started comparing it with everybody else’s and it just didn’t match up. Then, I went to AIG and I thought they were a little arrogant in the way they treated me. They were unlike the person from Finance of America who was very helpful. He never pushed or tried to force anything. The rep sent me a list of things that I needed and I sent them back. I talked to him several times about the things that I didn’t have and what I could to get them. I talked to him once a week for a month and sometimes more. I looked at about three different reverse mortgage possibilities and Finance of America gave me the best solution and the price is a little better than the rest. Once I got decided that I was going with them it was much quick than I anticipated.

I needed to supplement my income, so I did a reverse mortgage. Finance of America Reverse was the most courteous among the different providers I went to. They had the best answers, they walked me through every step, and they were very personal. Everything was done through the internet and phone, and then they sent two certified people to my home -- one to fill out the application, and the other one for the closing. The process was very easy. It took about an hour when they were here first for the application, and then the same thing for the closing. The lending officer was a person who cared. Their rates were very competitive, too. Finance of America Reverse has been great.

We needed a little help as my wife and I did not wanna work anymore. Between our Social Security, we can just almost pay our bills, so it was convenient for us to get a reverse mortgage. We talked to a counselor from Finance of America who suggested some things. We were also told about lowering the interest rate that they had on the prospect sheet they sent us. I told them I wanted the interest rate to go down and it did. I had several other offers from other lenders and one of them sent us a prospectus but none of the other offers were as good as Finance of America's.

I’ve been with Finance of America Reverse for five years. They did the original financing of my reverse mortgage. They contacted me and they jumbo sized it to give me a little extra money. However, I received the check but I never saw the adjustment in a sheet, which I’m accustomed to. I don’t understand it and the interest rates are too high. But I don’t have any problems other than that. The process was very easy and quick. The whole thing took me 30 days. I appreciate my loan officer, Robert, very much. He was knowledgeable and acted quickly whenever I called.

I wanted to have reserved money and to have a line of credit in the event that I needed it, not because I need it to survive, but when things start to go south as I get older. I chose to go with a reverse mortgage. If I need to have somebody to come into the house to take care of me, I would not be in the best state of mind to make those kinds of decisions, so I made it early. I did a bit of homework and chose to go with Finance of America Reverse.

I quit working, so I needed a reverse mortgage so that $800 and some wouldn't be taken out a month for my house. I answered an ad and the rep from Finance of America Reverse called me back right away. He was a hustler. Their application process was a lot of work, especially when the notary came twice and I had to fill out 30 signatures. Every name that was ever accidentally printed or used or typo, they wanna know why that happened. I was a hustler too. I copied, ran right away, did things and made things happen. The guy came out, appraised the house and took pictures of everything. So it took about a month for the application and underwriting process.

We needed money and when somebody called from Finance of America, we did a reverse mortgage and the enrollment was very simple. The application and underwriting went really quick. The first thing they asked is how much is our property's worth and it was hard to come up with any real accuracy without having a real estate broker. So, I gave them an estimate but it came in lower than I anticipated.

Finance of America Reverse appear to have better personnel working with them. I applied for a mortgage there and the process was convenient. Underwriting took a couple of months and they did an excellent job. Their rep was very kind and professional as well. I got a fair deal from them. Finance of America is a good organization.

I was in a financial hardship so I got a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan. It’s the best thing for me and the only way I can do instead of me borrowing money from any bank or loan company. I was in the AAG first but the people there were lousy and they were giving me a runaround. They didn’t want to release my file to Finance of America Reverse. And then Carol, a rep at Finance America, did something, so they released it to them. She was really on the top of it when I applied to them.

Finance of America Reverse has a very good reputation and they are the ones who other lenders go to for the money. They are very efficient and very good. However, the whole process for a reverse mortgage took a little longer than a month and a half because we had to have two appraisals and get all that set up. The process went very well though and I was quite happy with them. They also have offices that are local here, so that is good. Josh, the gentleman who was my representative with the company was excellent and went out of his way. He walked all the documents over to me, not through mail or Internet. It was more on a personal basis and I felt very comfortable working with him. If he couldn't answer right that very minute on something, he would get back to me, and he always did that very promptly. He was very nice and I was impressed with him.

Finance of America Reverse is a good company to go with. They have all their ducks in a row to be able to accommodate you. I wanted my daughter to start her new business and I wanted to help her out. But I didn’t want to be strained doing that so I looked into doing a reverse mortgage. The people from Finance of America Reverse were very polite. They asked me a lot of questions about my financial situation and if that house which was paid and cleared for is mine. They also checked my credit. They talked to me about it and ways to improve it. The loan officer I worked with was a good guy too. He was friendly, pleasant and very punctual. He answered all my questions and kept me in the loop. The process was real easy. Thirty days and I was done. The rate was also reasonable and good. It was a great experience and the loan helped my daughter out tremendously. I also did some knick knacks, some updates, around the house.

My mother had no mortgage and at one time, our house needed cosmetic repairs. Also, we wanted to be prepared in case we needed money for any reason. I liked the way I was treated by Finance of America Reverse from the time I started researching mortgages. Their reps were very informative and professional. They got back to me in time and made sure I was comfortable with the process. I like the way they do business. I recommend this company. Everything was done very well.

I’m on disability now but I needed to pay off a short-term loan when I had no income. I went down the list that I found online and called several reverse mortgage companies. Kevin, the guy I spoke to at Finance of America Reverse, was most helpful, very informative and sounded like he was very interested in me. He walked me through the process and made it very easy for me to get the mortgage. He told me what to expect and he was wonderful to work with. It was less than a month to get everything through. We’re on an adjustable rate, which had me a little leery. However, for the type of reverse mortgage loan that I’m getting, that’s typical. I was told it could go up as high as 9%.

We thought about a reverse mortgage for a while, and then we went with it. The reps of the Finance of America Reverse were excellent and I was impressed with their upfront honesty. Everything was as they stated. It took three weeks for the application and underwriting to be completed and the rates were excellent. Working with Finance of America Reverse has definitely helped me. I've put a new AC in the house. I got a new oxygenated portable thing, and I got insulation board on the walls and a whole bunch of little things.

Finance of America Reverse responded first when I got bogged down in a lot of debt. At that time, it didn't look like I could get out unless I get some help. And I was skeptical at first because I had read some things other people say about them. That you don't have an option at the end about your house and that they take it back when you die. But after we went through the process and understood it, I began to trust them. During the lending process, we didn’t take into consideration that my brother was living in our house and there's not a lot of proof that he lived there. But once we got the proof, the whole application process was finished.

The loan officer I worked with was straight up with everything. He told me exactly the way it was, what I'm gonna get, and what it will gonna cost. He explained everything to me very well. In terms of the rate and terms, I compared it to everybody else and it was good. But it cost is a little bit and the rates went up during that month.

I'm 75 years old and I needed to pay off my credit card. I replied to something from Lending Tree and they gave my name to different mortgage companies. I was contacted by several but then Finance of America was the one that got back to me promptly. I went with them and we had somebody come here and look over our house for evaluation. The loan officer said I was eligible for $1,000,000. Still, I only took what I needed at that time. Also, while I would always like to have a lower rate and not have to pay anything back, I was satisfied with the way the rate came out. I got a fair deal. And so we finally took out the reverse mortgage, signed a whole lot of stuff, and I was happy with the lady I dealt with. It worked out for us.

When I ran out of money, I chose to do a reverse mortgage and the interest that Finance of America Reverse charge had a fraction of a percent better. The application and underwriting process took a month. It was terrible and I didn't like it one bit. I signed my name so many times, and there were two major signing sessions where they came out with about an inch and a half of paperwork each time and I had to sign on about over 400 pieces of paper. It’s a total baloney. The person that came out and handed me the packet does not know a thing about it. In terms of rate and terms, I'm supposed to be able to negotiate. But I was told flat out that unless I want to take more money on the house right away, there was no negotiation. But I didn’t need that much money and it didn’t make any sense for me. It wasn’t worth it, but it's all done now. But I wouldn’t go through that again. I’d sell the house and be done with it and go into a condo.

When I went to Finance of America Reverse, I got a lot of information from them and they were willing to talk to me. I figured they were alright. Obtaining a mortgage from them was very easy. The whole thing was over in about two weeks. Moreover, the loan officer was great. He was down-to-earth and very personal. Finance of America Reverse was very fair on everything, they took a little pressure off us, and our experience turned out well. Their reps were very helpful and knowledgeable also. Everything fell into place in the end. I would tell friends to call them.

I am old enough where I wanna enjoy the rest of my life and I needed the funds to do that. Finance of America Reverse has the jumbo reverse mortgage and they did a fabulous job when I went through the application process. The application and underwriting took about 30 days when I thought it was gonna take 90 days. It went smoothly because I have a clean slate when they did my credit and everything was fine when they checked out my background. It’s my first experience and David, the fellow who represented me, did everything he said he was gonna do. He was the only guy with the company that I talked to. Every time I called him, he responded and he answered my questions successfully. I was very happy with it.

The application and underwriting process at Finance of America Reverse took about a month. It was a long and drawn-out affair but it was necessary to do the transaction. The loan officer seemed very personal. He was able to answer all of my questions and address my concerns. I chose to have a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan as it fit my situation. The bad thing about it is the upfront cost is excessive. Nevertheless, doing the mortgage has simplified my life tremendously.

I was in need of some money quickly and I didn’t want to make payments on a loan. Finance of America Reverse seemed like the best option so I went with it. After I sent in an online query, I got several calls and the person I worked with was one of the first to call me. I liked how she presented herself and what she had to say. The process was easy. I got into it and got more information but I didn’t realize that I would have to have an inspection done in my house just like selling a house. I had a couple of things I had to fix and they had taken money out to repair things like a garage door and that kind of thing. I didn’t realize that I would have that kind of obligation before I could get a loan. So, that made it more challenging because I had to put that money upfront but I got the repair done.

We had tried to get a loan with another company called Sure Lending. They told us that it was gonna be easy, everything was fine, and that we didn’t have to make a payment in March and April. So, we listened to them and before we knew it, we had gotten behind on our loan payments and there was just no coming back from that. We were under so much stress and were afraid they might try to foreclose. Plus, my grandson had a broken leg.

I needed enough income in case of an emergency. Currently, I’m on a fixed income, and it wasn’t allowing me to have any money set aside to take care of the maintenance of the house. Also, an emergency happened and I just put in a new water heater in. I got a reverse mortgage and Miranda of Finance of America Reverse did a great job on my application. She took care of everything. She communicated with me to make sure everything got done right. If there was a problem, she would call and let me know about it. Their application process was very simple and people came to me. It was not like I had to go running around.

I was looking to have a line of credit and extra income, so I decided on getting a reverse mortgage. I ended up working with Finance of America Reverse given that their people I talked to knew what they were doing. I had to take the FHA counselling session, then somebody was sent to handle the application and then they sent an appraiser down. The process took around 31 days to complete and it was straightforward and transparent. Working with Finance of America Reverse had taken some worry off me because I now have a source of funds if anything in the household needs major repair. I was also satisfied with how my experience went and would tell people to check them out. I’m happy with them.

We had 401(k), but we didn’t have long-term health care insurance. When my husband got Parkinson’s Disease, everything went into his care when he went into a nursing home the last two years of his life. I then decided to do a reverse mortgage and I did it with Finance of America Reverse. I thought it was well done. They were very professional. They had the answers that I needed, and they always returned the calls in a timely manner. Mainly, it was one officer that I dealt with and then other people came after that. The whole process took a few months and I was surprised that it took that short period. The rate and terms were fair too. I had a good experience. It’s been easier for me. I’m 73 and I didn’t wanna go back to work full-time, so working with Finance of America helped.

The mortgage process with Finance of America Reverse didn’t take very long but I was real disappointed in the guy who did the appraisal. There are seven sections in the subdivision we live in and we're in the most expensive section. But he took all the sections together and divided it like we were in the middle. My house is worth a whole lot more than what he said on his report. So I didn’t get near as much as I should have from my mortgage. That wasn't Finance of America's fault though. They couldn't get him to change it. The only thing that I was dissatisfied with was that they didn’t work hard enough to get me the right rate.

I called several decent finance companies that did reverse mortgages. During our first conversation with Cody from Finance of America Reverse, I really liked the information that he gave me and his demeanor. He also asked details that others didn’t ask. Obtaining the mortgage took two months and the process was very, very complicated. I have only lived in my home for about five months and there was a lot of verifying that this was my actual residence. I had to get verification of that, like electrical bills. I also had to show that my driver’s license showed this address. There were several things that Cody worked really hard on to get this all completed. Overall, Finance of America Reverse was very efficient. They sent people to my house that explained the papers I needed to sign and they were very responsible in returning my calls.

At our age, we're not going to do any moves in the future and we decided to age in place. But it felt like we needed to do some improvements to the home to make it more suitable for our needs. We decided on a reverse mortgage so that we could do what we wanted to do with the property. We started out initially with AIG but they were not a good company to deal with. It was very difficult to talk to anybody. They were not returning phone calls or emails. But the biggest problem was that when they did the appraisal of the property, it was so far below the market value of the property. We notified them of the discrepancies but they did nothing about it. They also quit answering phone calls and emails.

To start saving a little bit of money, I went for a reverse mortgage. The process of getting the mortgage from Finance of America Reverse was good. The application process was fairly easy and it took about four weeks. The representative was also friendly and the communication with him was excellent. The rate and terms seem to be fair as well.

I saw Finance of America Reverse advertised on the internet and I tried. They sent me all the information I needed. During the process which took over a month, they had me do everything but it was not difficult. The rep was very nice and didn’t press me to do it. Finance of America was a very good company and they were very professional. The reverse mortgage worked for us, I feel very comfortable and my life is okay. I am now free.

I was tired of living paycheck to paycheck and not having enough money to cover my bills. I had had a car wreck and had to buy a different car and some medical expenses and it got so overwhelming that I had to do something different. I'm a fairly frugal person who worked hard to try to spend my money wisely and I did some comparative shopping. I had looked at a couple of other options besides Finance of America and felt that their customer service was really good plus I liked the woman that I worked with on all of the initial paperwork.

I'm 70 years old and I had my house paid off but I don’t have anybody to leave my house to at all, so it doesn’t make any difference what happens when I leave. My house is almost half a million dollars and it still cost me a couple thousand dollars a month to live in. So, I decided to get money to put into an account in place and just use that for the taxes. I was told that the Finance of America Reverse fees and charges are not nearly as high as the others so I decided to go with them.

We own two houses. I have a daughter who lives in one of the houses and her husband passed away. She doesn't have any money, so we were in a financial situation. We went to Finance of America Reverse for financial advice then we went through their application process for the reverse mortgage. The process was good and it took a couple of months. Andrew, their rep, set things up for us. He was very understanding of how we felt about the whole situation and did his very best to try to explain everything to us so that we could understand it.

My husband and I are both elderly and we got some bills that we wanna get paid off and some reconstruction or home improvements that we wanted to do so we went into the reverse mortgage program. We tried one other company and was not satisfied with them, so we told them to forget it. My husband looked up some other ones online and Finance of America Reverse was the one we were happy with. During the process, they wanted credit records, the abstract papers and all kinds of paperwork that we had to round up, go through and look up. The paperwork was the biggest problem and the biggest headache but we got through that one. The application and underwriting process took a couple of months and we were satisfied with it until afterwards when they held out the money to pay the house insurance. I was having trouble with them on that end of it. They also owe me a back payment.

Finance of America Reverse seemed to be good when I talked to them. My rep was really nice and it didn't take that long until I got everything together. I'm satisfied with them.

My Finance of America Reverse representative was very helpful and she answered a lot of questions. The upfront cost was expensive but it wasn’t any more than anybody else would be. Also, the application process involved an awful lot of paperwork and it took a long time but I understood that that was true every time. It was difficult and I’m ignorant of all those steps, so it was good to have someone that was clarifying things as we went. The process would have been impossible for me to figure out without my rep. She was very respectful of me and answered my questions as if I wasn’t ignorant.

My home was going into foreclosure and I decided on a reverse mortgage. The gentleman I worked with at Finance of America Reverse, Sherman, was super fantastic. He handled everything. I talked to him on the phone and I answered his questions. Finance of America Reverse sent a notary out and I read the papers and signed them. The application and underwriting process took about a month altogether to finish. The loan officer was a super nice guy and he was very understanding of my problem and did his best to speed the process up. He was so excited when the appraisal came in and that everything was working to my advantage. He was very prompt in calling me back whenever I had a question or answering the question as quickly as he could. I was pleased with the rate too.

I looked at several companies on the internet and I saw the ratings of Finance of America Reverse. I chose a reverse mortgage for my mother and they made the process of obtaining the mortgage easy for me. The rep was very good and I was very satisfied that I was updated constantly on what was going on. Everything went smoothly and the rate was good. It was something that my mother needed to do and it was for her house. She didn’t have any money other than Social Security and now, she has the money to pay her caretaker. I would recommend Finance of America Reverse.

Finance of America Reverse was cheaper when it came to reverse mortgages and I had no problems in the process which took two months. It was very good but less paperwork would be nice. Barbara, the rep, was very nice, accommodating and knowledgeable. She walked me through everything and I felt very comfortable working with her.

My wife passed away a year ago and I was trying to decide whether I needed to move to another house or do something here. When she passed away, a lot of the income had disappeared so I had to cut expenses and reverse mortgage worked best for me. Getting a reverse mortgage is about talking to the right people at the right time and I ended up doing it with Finance of America Reverse. The decision regarding the reverse mortgage was mine but the reps were helpful with any questions I had. Everything with Finance of America Reverse went smoothly.

We inherited our grandchildren and money was getting tight. So, we went through the process of obtaining a reverse mortgage from Finance of America. The process was a bit difficult because it wasn’t all cut and dried but it was okay. Our loan officer was Tim and he was diligent. All in all, the application and underwriting process took about three months. During that time, the guidance they provided me was good. Their rate was good as well. The mortgage made things easier for me because my real estate taxes and my homeowner’s insurance were being paid through it. I get $300 a month too.

Our financial situation was not the best and we had some things that needed to be taken care of at our house that we couldn’t afford to do. So, we talked it over and decided that we would try to see if we could get a reverse mortgage. I called the number on a packet that was sent to me a long time ago. It was a deal about a reverse mortgage and it was from Finance of America Reverse. The loan officer whom I worked with was the best person I ever talked to. Her name is Shannon and she helped me through everything that I had to do. She's a fantastic person and we became friends. In closing, the people at Finance of America Reverse are great and they helped us and we really appreciate it. We’ve gotten a lot of things done that needed to be taken care of.

I had an annuity that ran out and I have no retirement other than Social Security. Though I've liked living here, taxes keep going up every year. The town keeps building schools and keeps accepting non-profits, and they don’t pay any taxes. When I came back from college, the population was a little over 10,000. It's about 7,000 now so it has become an untenable situation. I went to another lender first but they hooked up with me with an FHA appraiser that appraised my house $20,000 less than the city had it appraised and about $15,000 less than Zillow had it appraised. So, I decided I would find somebody else. I went with Finance of America Reverse and they gave me more money and a better situation.

I had an open-heart surgery and then just a couple of weeks ago, I had a hernia fixed. I had to quit work and it didn’t look like Social Security was gonna carry us, so I had to do something. I started out with AAG and two weeks after the heart surgery, their rep called me up and almost threatened me that they were gonna change what they were gonna do and it wasn’t gonna be as good and that I had to hurry up and get it done. He wasn’t kind at all and I tried to get off the phone with him and told him that they were done.

I initially went with AAG but the process was such a long runaround one that I got frustrated after six months of this and that. They kept sending in more forms and when it finally seemed like it was going to end, the representative that I was dealing with passed me on to one of his associates. This was a guy who I learned was his equal in the company and he started the process all over again. I was not gonna do that again so I was done with them. I put the whole thought of a reverse mortgage aside until I got a cold call from the fellow from FAR.

A reverse mortgage was something we really didn't wanna have to do and we were hanging on trying not to have to do that. However, we were also looking to pay off some bills and get some upgrades to our home. There were several lenders that were calling us, but Adam of Finance of America Reverse mailed us some folder right at the beginning. We had so many questions that needed answering and the folder was full of information. It was very helpful to have it all written down and be able to see what was going on. Also, he followed through with some phone calls. At the time, we had another lender who was very persistent but Adam wasn't as pushy. He would call us and answer any questions even on the holiday weekend and we were impressed with the way he was doing business.

My husband and I are 70 years old. We’re retired and our payment here is $1,200 a month. We pay our bills first and if there was anything left, it was good. But there was not that much left and we couldn't do anything. We tried different reverse mortgage companies and got a bad experience. They weren’t very nice people.

When my wife and I retired, we moved out of California and moved down here in Oklahoma. I put a whole lot of money into the house and the ranch. It's 20 acres and figuring how we wanted it, it took a lot to get it that way. I paid tax for the whole place, and I used some of the equity that I'd put into the place to help me continue doing what I was doing. I met the rep of Finance of America, who by chance was from Tulsa, Oklahoma which we are close by. Her name is Stacy and she was extremely helpful. She gave us all the information and all the ways to look. There was no second-guessing anything with her.

Everything keeps going up and we are on a fixed income and it seems like nobody had their cares about seniors. The government’s not helping anybody put any kind of rules for them. I’m soon gonna be 79 and my house taxes, property taxes, car insurance, everything is going up. It was tough for us to meet all the bills every month and it was eating up all our income that we were getting through from the government. My wife and I kept hearing the reverse mortgage on TV so we sat down one time and we called and got information on it. We talked to Tobia and he turned us on to a reverse mortgage. He was well-informed and we started the process. Every time we had questions, Tobia was there and I would recommend him to anybody. He contacted people and they contacted us. The ball was rolling and Finance of America Reverse called us and we went with them.

Due to Finance of America's good report with the ratings, I chose them over other lenders and I worked with them on a reverse mortgage. But the process of obt,aining the reverse mortgage was strange because I never really met anybody during the application and this was difficult for me since I'm old-school. There should have been more communication from the lender. Eventually, though, I was assigned to a rep who was very nice and I was able to get most of the information that I wanted from her. The guidance that I received was pretty good.

Getting a reverse mortgage seemed to be the simplest way to go and Finance of America Reverse was someone I could talk to. Their application process was paperwork, paperwork, paperwork, and I hate paperwork. I did my research on their rates and it seemed compatible with what I was expecting.

I got a reverse mortgage from Finance of America Reverse and their application process was very straightforward. The loan officer was upfront and he guided me through the process and let me know what to expect next. I felt very comfortable working with him. I had a couple of phone numbers that I could reach him at and he got back to me after a few hours. The application and underwriting took about 3 and a half weeks. I have looked at two other places and I think Finance of America has the best combination of interest and closing cost.

I was on a divorce and I had to pay off my mortgage as part of my divorce. That left me with only half a million dollars, so I decided that rather than take out a loan, I would rather take out a reverse mortgage. I turned to Finance of America Reverse considering the interest rate and because of their rep, Ed. He was wonderful. He took the time to explain everything to me and set up the appointment for my counseling. I had talked to three other lenders and Ed treated me with kindness and didn’t talk down to me. The application was easy and it was done in a day.

I have investments but my adviser did not want me to take any more other investments because if I take out of the base, I make less on my return. I needed some money and thought a reverse mortgage was the best way. I talked to two different companies and Kevin from Finance of America Reverse was really helpful. He was also nice and caring. The lady from the other company was nice too. But I could hear her boss in the background sometimes and he seemed pushy so I decided to go with Kevin, who seemed to fit.

I contacted Finance of America for information for obtaining a reverse mortgage loan. From the first call I made to the final details, everyone was very professional and informative. All my concerns and questions were dealt with in a very timely and constructive matter. My representative, Monica **, was absolutely the best. She kept me informed all the way through the process. I couldn't be any more pleased.

I had some repairs to do on my house, and I didn’t want to pour some money because I would love to pay it back, so I decided to do a reverse mortgage. I had a few providers, but the loan officer from Finance of America was very friendly and that's why I chose them. It took me forever to choose, but they were very quick to close on the loan and I would recommend them.

I needed a reverse mortgage to pay for my daycare worker because I was in a hospital bed. The gentleman I worked with at Finance of America Reverse was very straightforward and kind. He explained everything in detail and helped me get through the process. It took three months to close the loan since I've been in the hospital from February and I've just recently returned home. I'm pleased with the rate and terms I've received. And right now, I'm in the process of getting the minor repairs done that Finance of America Reverse requested.

I talked to someone about a reverse mortgage and I liked what I heard. The Finance of America Reverse application process was quick and the reps were very nice. The experience was good. I'd tell others to go with Finance of America. They can't go wrong with it.

We have gone through my retirement income and we were running out of money so we had to go somewhere. My son looked on the internet about reverse mortgage and Finance of America had the best reputation. I talked to a rep on the East Coast and she seemed concerned about us. I thought we were friends after the first 10 minutes of talking to her and she made every effort to make me feel good. She helped us and everything went smooth. It took us two months for everything to go through. Working with Finance of America helped out a whole lot. We don’t have to worry about money and it helps us a whole lot to be able to just get by day-to-day. I appreciate working with them. I thank the Lord we saw it and led us that way.

Our income was getting limited, and a reverse mortgage was the best way for us to move forward with what we were trying to do. A lot of lending providers have different constraints, and Finance of America Reverse is more flexible for me. The process of getting it was basic and it went pretty well. The loan officer was straightforward, easy to deal with, and responsive, and I would recommend them.

The 12-month waiting period at Finance of America Reverse is ridiculous and is causing me a lot of problems. But the process was clear and the loan officer I worked with was fantastic. He was very prompt and professional.

I wanted to do a reverse mortgage and I liked what Finance of America Reverse said. I liked their terms and the efficiency with which they contacted me. Their reps, Kevin and Jason were fine and the rate that I received was very fair. Finance of America Reverse did a good job for me.

I wanted to save some money in my pocket and Finance of America Reverse had the lowest rates. However, the application process took about three months to complete. If you take a loan, a bank will ask you 10 questions. When the loan is supposed to go through, a bank will come back and ask another three questions, and then takes another month because they are falling behind because of the three questions. They keep that up as long as they can and that was exactly what it was like with Finance of America Reverse. At first, their rep was very nice but then after, he disappeared. When it got painful, their reps turned me over to somebody else.

I had some credit card debt that I wanted to take care of, so I did a reverse mortgage. I contacted several lenders for this, then I narrowed my choices down to two companies. In the end, I chose to work with Finance of America Reverse because of Brent, the rep that I worked with, who's a great person and was excellent. We both live in Indiana and he was very pleasant and helpful. If I needed a question answered, he helped answer it. I made a good choice. I understood a lot of what I was doing before I went into it, but I also had a lot of help. All the people that I worked with there were very nice and I had no problem with any of them. When they said they'd be here at a certain time, that was always taken care of and they were on time.

Sr. loan officer Randy ** was extremely helpful in every way. He was always there when we needed to have something explained. He was very easy to work with, and very understanding. We would recommend Randy and Finance of America to anyone who is looking for a reverse mortgage. Thank you Randy for all your help.

We went through one reverse mortgage before, then we sold our house in Shipshewana and paid off the reverse mortgage. But we needed some extra money when we moved here so we went with a reverse mortgage again and we did this with Finance of America Reverse. The loan officer, Ian, was really good with us. But we had a few snags in the process of getting the reverse mortgage and we had to get some information so that we could get started on it. But other than that, everything worked well. When we had finally gotten all the stuff that we needed, it took three weeks to finish the process and I was well-pleased with that. The interest rate was a little high, though, but I couldn’t do too much about that.

I needed money to make repairs. I am retired and I’m also disabled, so I thought a reverse mortgage would be the best way to go. I used them because I did not have to pay upfront for the different things that had to be done. I turned in a whole lot of paperwork. First, I sent all that paperwork, and then they turned around and asked for something else and I sent that in, and they asked for something else again and then I sent that in. So, it was a lot of back and forth between us, but there were no problems working with Steve or Travis, or any of the workers. When they have decided that they were gonna take me on as a client, it was all on the appraiser. Going with Finance of America Reverse was a good experience, although it was long -- the whole process took about three months.

I am over 62, my condominium was paid for and I needed money. I had gotten laid off three times and was behind on bills. The application process with Finance of America was pretty uncomplicated and it only took a couple of months. The preparation process was the ordeal. The condominium complex allowed their FHA verifications to lapse in 2011 and I’m not counting the fact that the guy that was in charge of getting it reapproved didn’t send all the paperwork in. It was a nightmare. But once we got that FHA verification back, there was nothing to it. I had friends trying to talk me out of doing a reverse mortgage, but the only reason that I could come up with was that people had bad experiences where after they died, their heir had to pay it off or forfeit it. I’ve only got one heir and he could sell the property or if he wants to keep it, he could pay it off and rent it out.

I wanted to get a reverse mortgage because I wanted to quit working. I got online and did some research, then I called and talked with the top three lenders in the United States. Finance of America Reverse was one of them and I liked them the best. They had the best rates and beat the other two companies that I called, so I chose them.

I wanted a little more financial freedom and a reverse mortgage was a reasonable thing to do. I contacted several providers and I got some confusing information from the others. When I got a hold of Finance of America, they explained the process very thoroughly and were very easy to communicate with. Their application process was very easy as well. I was guided through it by the lady that had helped me out, EJ, and she changed my life. She was made me feel extremely comfortable and I was really impressed. The other persons that I called felt more like salespeople. It was a life-changing project and a lot was involved and I wouldn’t jump in to something like that just right off the bat without knowing what the heck I was doing.

I dealt with three different companies before I chose Finance of America. I found the others to be okay but it was different with Josh who was the one who took care of us. He was good and he was almost like a friend. I really felt like he was completely honest. He was always available and he was really knowledgeable. His boss, Ryan, was also extremely helpful.

While I could afford to pay my mortgage, I could not afford to fix my house up. I fixed it up 16 years ago and now it needs to be refixed and a reverse mortgage is my only way to do that. I talked to different people and decided that I'd use Finance of America Reverse. Everything was quick and easy. When I had to fill out the paperwork, somebody came to the house. Sherman was my rep and he was very nice, very patient and did everything quickly. He was great to work with. If I had a question, he called me right back. He also listened and offered suggestions on what I needed to do. He really took care of everything. The whole process took a month and I was pleased with the rate and terms I received.

Finance of America Reverse was very helpful and considerate in arranging for my reverse mortgage. Ernie answered all my questions and gave me plenty of time to make a decision. I would recommend them.

At first, I had chosen another company but I got more confidence in Finance of America Reverse so I went with them. I had to do all the standard stuff to get the appraisal. The process of obtaining the mortgage was a little lengthy but it was not very cumbersome. They had me do some credit counseling and it was done in a professional way. They stood with me the whole way and any question I had, I contacted them. Any forms they needed, they contacted me. It was a nice and easy process. The loan officers bent over backwards for me and I really enjoyed working with them. They kept in touch with me constantly to let me know what was going on. I’m really happy with the decision I made to choose them.

My husband is dying and a reverse mortgage was our only alternative. And I wanted to get the house refinanced so that I could pay it and stay living there. I liked the woman we had, Linda. She was topnotch. She called to keep us informed of what was going on and what we could expect. The rates could have been a little more reasonable but I could live with it. The experience was almost flawless and I'd tell others to call Linda.

This entire process was a no stress pleasurable experience. I was most pleased with the outcome as well as dealing with knowledgeable people and patient as well as applicant oriented. I was made to feel very comfortable throughout the entire process.

I was looking into a reverse mortgage. Gave a few companies a call. I was fortunate to get Ernie. Oh my goodness he was great, sent me info, answered all my questions and kept in contact to make sure we were headed in the right direction. It was so easy and no stress. Since then it has been very easy to get access to the mortgage.

Buying and refinancing a home is most often faced with trepidation and a lot of questions. Taylor's expertise, patience and kindness took the worry out of the event and made the process not just bearable but enjoyable. Thank you, Taylor.

We were in the process of purchasing a second home and I needed a fixed amount of money in a fairly rapid period of time, but I didn’t want to put my house on the market, so getting a reverse mortgage was the logical step. We were moving in the direction of getting a jumbo reverse mortgage versus a a so-called HECM reverse mortgage, and for a variety of reasons we ended up with the HECM loan and we were stuck with it. The process of obtaining the reverse mortgage with Finance of America Reverse was fast and I was familiar with it as I had gone through it before with my mother's situation. The interaction that I had with the loan officer was very good and it was a positive experience. He was reactive to us and let us know the situation.

I'm single and I don't have anybody to leave anything to so I might as well utilize what I had in my house by getting a reverse mortgage. The rep Finance of America Reverse explained everything very well. He was also very nice. He called me back when he said he was going to. I was a little surprised about how far back they went into the credit history, but other than that, everything was okay. The rep came to my house and did the signing. They were efficient.

I really liked the loan officer that I dealt with at Finance of America Reverse. His name was Robert and he was really nice and he walked me through everything. There are so many people out there now that are trying to rip you off and I had so many people say, “You shouldn’t do that,” and that was the one thing I was worried about. I had to trust that he was telling me the truth and I felt he was being honest with me. During the process of obtaining the mortgage, I had to read and I had to go through a counseling thing with HUD. Then, I filled out a lot of papers. The process wasn’t really too bad, but it was a lot of reading.

I got a reverse mortgage through Finance of America and the process was fine. The only thing is that some of the dealings with the government, trying to do their paperwork, is a real pain in the **. They ask for a piece of paperwork and you get it. Then they want you to clarify it and make sure it's really up to date but they have the answer to begin with. It was a little bit much. I understand it had to be done right, but it was going over the same thing once or twice or even three times and it still came out the same way. But their rep was fine. He was very good.

I had a lot of credit card debts and I did not want to end up paying four times than what I owed on it. I decided that it was a good time to think about using the equity in my house and clearing all that debt out and hope that I can stay, more or less, debt-free. Finance of America Reverse was really upfront and honest with me, as far as I know. I’m not really astute on how every other company works and they were right there to assist me.

Obtaining a reverse mortgage at Finance of America Reverse was a fairly lengthy process. The person I was dealing with was fairly tenacious in reminding me and emailing me on a regular basis. It kinda went overboard, in which some ways hounding me. And there were some things that at the very end, were not disclosed and it pissed me off. I fixed the things that I thought were appropriate. And there was an additional charge for an appraisal and some other nitpicky items that I wasn't made aware of. A full disclosure of everything that's gonna be an expense to the potential borrower would be an improvement.

I chose a reverse mortgage due to our financial condition. Finance of America Reverse responded quickly and correctly. They also answered my questions. The process was pretty smooth. It took about less than two weeks for the process to be finished. Also, the loan officer was very personable and knowledgeable. Every time I asked her a question, she had the answer. The rates are fine as well. My experience was really pleasant and informative.

I was shopping around and the rate of the reverse mortgage with Finance of America Reverse was pretty competitive. It was comparable with the two other companies that I was nibbling at. Also, their mortgage process was smooth. It consisted of a fair amount of paperwork, interviews and people coming to the house. From start to finish, it took five to six weeks and we got through it. The reps were super helpful and gave us all the heads up that we needed to complete the process. My loan officer was friendly and we talked both over the phone and the email. He seemed like a knowledgeable person and my wife and I felt quite comfortable with him. He gave me his home phone number and I could call him at home. If I had a question, he got right back to me and we discussed it and it was resolved.

Finance of America Reverse has been a good experience. When I needed the money, I went online and they were the first ones to call. Stacy seemed really nice, very professional, and competent. She was a big consideration to go on with them, and she was always there when I called. She also answered within the first couple of rings, and I did not have to listen to any pre-recorded messages like “Press two now”. She is a good person to have working for them. Everything was done online and over the phone. She helped me get through all the papers and sent them in. Then, when the time came to finalize it, they sent an agent over and he was good, too, and very polite and friendly. We did the signing in my house. The application and underwriting process took three or four weeks, and it went really well. The rate I got was very good. Going with them has given us a good impact.

Somehow I lucked out and the most excellent reverse mortgage specialist answered my call, Julie **. She is very knowledgeable, professional and patient. In the midst of the process, my husband passed and Julie became my moral support thru this transition in my life. A friend for life.

Zack **, from Finance of America, has gone over and beyond expectations on helping me with getting my Reverse Mortgage Loan. No one, including his supervisor, thought this account would go thru. Thanks to Zach, going beyond what he had to, I got my Loan! If it wasn’t for Zach, I know I would not have gotten my Reverse Mortgage. I believe no other person would have taken those extra steps. Thank You Zach **! I really owe you!

Thank You seems so inadequate to say to Nick **. It was Nick who was always available for any question I had and Nick on his own would check in on me. Nick explained the whole process of a Reverse Mortgage and put me at ease. He was always so positive and friendly. I feel Nick is a real asset to your company. It is my hope someone else will have the privilege of working with Nick.

My experience with Nick went smoothly due to his knowledge of reverse mortgages and his ability to answer all my questions. He was easy to reach and returned all my calls in a timely manner. He was truly interested in helping me attain my reverse mortgage. Dealing with Nick was very pleasant and I would recommend him to my friends. Finance of America Reverse is very lucky to have Nick as an employee.

I wanted to pay off an existing loan and due to a lack of credit, I decided on a reverse mortgage. I talked to two companies but Finance of America Reverse was the one that was closer, even in terms of a phone location. The other one was California and this one was Kansas. Plus, I liked the person. Cindy has been doing this for 25 years and is very experienced in what she does. But it wasn’t all business. She was very personable and I could talk to her about anything. If I had a real problem or a question, I just called her. I didn't have to wait three days to get an answer through mail. I even called her last week ‘cause I had a question and even though she had been out of the loop, she still gave me advice on it.

My husband and I were of retirement age and didn't want mortgage payment so decided to do a reverse mortgage. I got 5 different quotes and went with a top rated company. They told me they would match anything we got from someone else. But that wasn't true. When we got appraisal it was more than we thought it would be. I asked our loan officer how much money could we get. The amount he quoted was not as much as I thought it should be.

I chose a reverse mortgage to pay some bills and I chose Finance of America Reverse because of their attitude, knowledge, and communication. The application was a little time-consuming and it was a lot more involved than I realized. But I'm sure it is that way with anyone and it went smoothly. The loan officer was absolutely wonderful. I was impressed by his knowledge, understanding, and commitment to the process. When he said he would call, he called. If I tried to get a hold of him, he was always there. It didn't matter what time and what day. He explained everything in great detail and helped me get through the process. Also, the rates and terms were great. They were better than I found anywhere else. Working with them definitely made my life a lot easier.

I needed a reverse mortgage for a safety valve. I'm gonna go on a trip and when I do, I'm gonna use it. My wife and I got one and it was AAG. We've gotten along with them for months and months. But they got $400 out of me and nobody knew anything that was going on. I got so sick of it, so I just dropped them all together. I had a cousin who called and recommended Finance of America Reverse. We got ahold of them and it worked out just fine. There was a little bit of wait here and there, but that was normal and there was no difficulty. The loan officer's name was William and he was a great guy to deal with. He bent over backwards to help us. He knew the rut we were in before and he did a good job. Also, the rate really satisfied me to the point of what I knew. I would recommend Finance of America Reverse in a second.

We wanted to stay in our house and there was a lot more equity. We did not want to liquidate and have reserves and assets from equity. Also, we did not want to buy and sell in the same market because our equity is what we've put our money into, and it served us well. We decided a reverse mortgage was the right thing to do.

My mom had a very low retirement for herself and as she got older, she needed help. We brought in some caregivers for her and for a long time, my sister and I paid them. But it got to the point where we had to do something. We felt that we should use our mom's funds to do that and she agreed. My siblings and I had talked about a reverse mortgage over the years if it should come to this but we were reluctant. They asked me to handle it and when I called Finance of America Reverse, I interviewed the representative. He provided me with information that was very helpful then I shared it with my siblings and we took it from there.

My financial advisor suggested a reverse mortgage as a way of helping our cash flow. We have no plans to move from our home right now, so we thought of taking advantage of the opportunity. My financial advisor told me to look around for a couple of reverse mortgage companies and get the best deal and so that’s what we did. Finance of America came in with the best deal for sure as far as the initial payout and also, there was zero origination fee. And that was very attractive. My experience with Finance of America was very good. The guy who took care of our loan, application and the whole process was very professional and very friendly. It was very convenient for us and we closed on May 29th.

I called LendingTree, and then they referred me to Finance of America Reverse. I also had it on my list. I then called them. Jamie, the loan officer I dealt with, did a very good job for me. She got me going, and that took not very long. Every time I needed a call, she would answer my questions. She would say if I ever have any more questions to give her a call, and I did that several times. I felt 100% comfortable working with her. When we had a tornado, she even called me to see how I was doing. We developed a pretty good relationship. Also, I was happy with the rate and terms I got. Working with them has helped me get some money for things I needed to have.

My niece works at Finance of America Reverse and she got me some literature about the place. Then, I talked to the representative there and she explained. They went over some literature they sent me and went over with my family and decided on going through with it. The loan officer was very accommodating and I'm happy with the rate. At the end of it, there were issues with the title company where they called to set up the appointment but they didn't show up. The communication on that could improve a little bit. We had to make it for another day and I traveled a couple of hours to do this and it didn't happen. It was a big mix-up there but the rep got someone else. Going through the process with Finance of America Reverse has given me a little bit of financial freedom.

I looked up Finance of America Reverse online and I read testimonials. I went to ARP and they were recommended. This was for my mother so, I want her pretty protected. They came to the house for her which I found that pretty convenient. The rep that came to the house was very nice. Also, the rep on the phone, Ciara, was very helpful and very personable. Hopefully, it will be an ongoing relationship there. But the rate is very high. I'm not overly happy with it. They just refunded my mother a little bit of money because they had overestimated stuff, so I'm glad they lived up to the honesty of that portion. We've closed on it but I have to go back to them. They held back money and I have to kinda do this.

I had some stuff that I needed to take care of and unfortunately, I wanted to do an equity loan but was unable to do so because I've had a lot of things going on and my credit report is not very good. So, I was in the process of trying to do that and it got to a point where I needed to take a little bit of money out, pay off some bills and get myself back together. I had heard and read about Finance of America Reverse and then I had a gentleman give me a call, and he seemed to be very knowledgeable in all phases of it. Also, I had gone online and I knew that they had some good reviews, plus I had talked to some others that were in California and I didn't want somebody from there.

Katie is my loan officer with Finance of America Reverse and she seemed direct and someone that I could trust. The whole process was good but something could be improved. Early in the process, we were notified that the interest rates were going up and that we should get on the ball and get it taken care off. We did it that very day but we thought that they were talking about the interest rates on our loan. And the way it was presented to us, we thought continually through the rest of the process that we had secured a low interest rate. But the interest rate was not set until we submitted the application and there was a great deal of flurry. We knew that the interest rates were going up but we thought that our interest rates would be locked in when we applied that very day and yet they were not.

I have a towing company and the structure was getting worn down and I needed money. The first two lenders I called wouldn’t help me. Finance of America Reverse would do that and their rep was really sweet. She's a good salesperson. I enjoyed talking to her and I was impressed with her personality. In my case, the process was longer and took six months, but that was my fault. I was told that I'd get a little less than 50% of what my property was worth. It was worth 85, so I assumed that I’d get 40, but I didn't get the money I wanted and I only got 9,040. The rest went to the holding company to pay for the taxes and the insurance. Nevertheless, the money that I got from Finance of America Reverse helped.

I was looking at everyone for a reverse mortgage, but a lot of these companies were not allowing manufactured homes to be on the reverse mortgage. Finance of America Reverse was the first one that had manufactured home reverse mortgages so I went with them. I also talked to their salesman and he convinced me to go with them.

We were living from payday to payday. We needed to get some bills paid and get out of stress of stretching the money that we didn’t have. So, getting a reverse mortgage was what we needed to do. So many people told me different things but when it came to the final thing, it wasn’t true. Then, Finance of America's reps worked with me. I liked what I saw and whenever I talked to the agent or the person who was in-charge, he explained the process to me. He would call me and I would talk to him. And he would return my calls promptly if he was with another customer. So, I got by with him and I believed what he saw. We all make mistakes, but I was satisfied with him. I also liked that rather than telling me 18 months, he said that at the end of the year, I could go back and get some more money. He explained to me why it was there and that it was growing.

My friend recommended me to do a reverse mortgage. She had used one in the past and she said that it would be a good option for me. I went online and Finance of America Reverse came up. Julie, the agent I had, was exceptional and very thorough. I was very happy with her. She explained everything to me and even when there were problems coming up, she solved them. The application process took a couple of weeks and it was very easy. I was also very fortunate that the process turned out the way it did. The rate I was set up with was competitive too. Working with Finance of America gave me an assurance that they’re there if I ever need funds for an emergency or if I wanna do anything with the house. I would definitely recommend them and my agent.

I am my mother's caregiver and I needed money to help take care of her, so we decided to use a reverse mortgage. Finance of America Reverse was the lender that she had initially, so I worked with them on this. The application process was simple enough and, in fact, it was easier than purchasing a house. Although there were a couple of hiccups, the process took a little over a month.

I chose a reverse mortgage as I thought it would be a good way of freeing up some money that otherwise would just sit there. I liked the person that talked to me over the phone. The process didn’t take very long and it was good. Also, the rate seemed fair.

I turned 62 and I wanted to take advantage of a reverse mortgage program while it was still in place because we never know what might happen in the future. My home was fully paid off and it doesn’t earn any interest while it's paid off, so my goal was to set up a line of credit for the future. I started with another lender but they raised a lot of questions with me and made a lot of mistakes. I got another quote and Finance of America Reverse came in much lower.

My family is in a financially good enough shape. They’re doing fine right now and it would be better for me to get myself in a good financial shape as I possibly can right now, so chose a reverse mortgage. I liked the sales representative, so I chose Finance of America Reverse. He was thorough and polite and he was complete and not pushy. The application process worked out extremely well.

My loan officer from Finance of America Reverse was terrific and did a good job. I needed some extra money and I got hooked up with Julie. She was just personal and we had a good relationship. She walked me through the whole process and we worked together back and forth over the phone all those months. Everything I asked her to do, she did it. Then everything she asked me to do, I did as well. And if I had to do it again, I would still choose her. We also got a good interest rate. I would recommend Finance of America Reverse to anybody. It worked for me so it ought to work for others too.

I would recommend Finance of America Reverse. I couldn't ask for a better person than Brandon, the loan officer. He took the time with me, led me through every process, step-by-step and he kept calling and kept me informed on everything. I felt 100% comfortable working with him. I had some stuff to get straightened out, so the entire process took about 45 days. With their help, we have extra money, we could pay a couple of hospital bills, pay a few bills and we have something in case of emergency. We also feel better to say we don’t have $2.00 left after we paid the bills.

My wife unfortunately passed away and that affected my finances tremendously so I chose to get a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan. My son-in-law also deals with Finance of America Reverse and recommended it to me. The reps at Finance of America made sure that I understood everything when I talked to them over the phone, and I did. Tom, who assisted me, was such an easy guy to talk to and was very informative. I called him twice on minor issues, he walked me through it and it went so smoothly.

I had put in a notice to LendingTree that I'm interested in a reverse mortgage. LendingTree notified a number of companies and Finance of America was one of them. I negotiated a work for three different ones and ended up going with Finance of America Reverse because they seemed to be more flexible and had the most options for me to choose from.

My house was already paid off so I wanted to tap into a bit of it to do some work that the association required. I also did the reverse mortgage for security. I didn’t wanna dip into my emergency fund. I connected with the sales agent at Finance of America Reverse. Something about him and the way he was pitching his company and the product made me feel more comfortable with him and Finance of America. I was impressed with his personality and his knowledge of what he was doing. We kept in constant contact, sending papers and whatever he needed back and forth, and he was very efficient. He was also readily available to answer any questions. He answered them right away, to the best of his ability and to my satisfaction.

Finance of America Reverse has the best numbers. I was pleased with the person who I connected with. He was very quick to answer all of my questions. He answered them thoroughly and very pleasantly. He was right on top of it. I would get one thing done and he'd be ready with the next thing. We did almost everything by email because that was my preference and I had amazingly fast responses. Finance of America Reverse made the process very easy. It just took a week and it moved along greatly. The result of a reverse mortgage has made me feel a whole lot more comfortable strictly since my job may be disappearing in the future. I’m very glad that I chose a reverse mortgage, and the terms were actually more than fair. A big factor in deciding to do this was the fact that I could get a line of credit and earn interest on that until I needed to withdraw it. I would recommend this company to others.

I had equity in the home that was just sitting there, not being used. I was planning on living in the house for the rest of my life. So I figured I might want to use the equity someday and I had heard from others that Finance of America Reverse was a very good company. I also compared other offers and this was the best. I also felt very comfortable working with the loan officer and that was why I chose her. She was honest with me and had a good attitude towards what she was doing. If the loan officer didn’t know the answers, she got it for me through the corporate office. I also spoke with some people at the corporate and they were very good at getting back to me on any questions I have. The process took a couple of months and everything was excellent from the beginning ‘til the end. Working with Finance of America Reverse made me feel a little bit more financially stable and I would recommend them highly.

With our age, we are looking to the end of our lives. And rather than burdening our children with having to take care of things for us, we opted to get a reverse mortgage. I called three different companies and Finance of America Reverse was the one who returned my calls. So, we went with them. The guy that handled the process, Andrew, was very helpful and expedited everything. He was very attentive and answered a lot of questions.

My parents had a reverse mortgage and it served them very well in their later years before they passed away. They were able to do a little bit of travelling and it allowed them a monthly payment that they needed to supplement their income. The agent from Finance of America Reverse, Joe contacted me and was very helpful. He answered any questions and explained everything very well. He was very patient and was not high pressured at all.

My wife had throat cancer so I wanted to do a reverse mortgage. I also wanted to catch up on some of our bills and improve the house. I then contacted a few companies but none of them got back to me. Finance of America Reverse was the first one to contact me so I did it with them. The application and underwriting took two weeks and everything was handled really well. I was also satisfied with the rates and terms I've received.

My husband passed away, my income was decreased and I still had a mortgage. I was thinking about selling the house, taking what equity I could get and moving to an apartment, but my family didn’t want me to do that. So, my daughter started researching and talked to me about a reverse mortgage, and we as a family decided that would be good for me and my situation. My daughter ordered something from another company that sent out a video and a bunch of materials. I followed up with that company and got down to the wire but I didn’t like what I was being told. So I cancelled with them, got on the internet and picked out FAR.

I needed some more money and I went through all the ads and talked to a couple of reverse mortgage companies but I didn’t like their attitudes. I went with Finance of America Reverse, however, during the application process, there was way too much paperwork, time, repeat stuff and all the government questions that I gotta answer. I'm used to doing business in the old days where I just had to say my name. Finance of America had a guy come up here with paperwork and he made a couple of mistakes. So somebody else was sent out and it was a rush deal on the last day. It was a long time running back and forth but they got it. And the rate was as good as we could get it because it was starting to go up. Also, because I have a bit of a hearing problem with women's voice and they talk too fast, I made the rep I was dealing with repeat stuff a lot of times, and she was trying.

We wanted to maximize our equity in the house and wanted to do some expansion on the house so we chose reverse mortgage as part of our retirement plan. The people at Finance of America Reverse that we talked to were very well-informed and helpful. We were very pleased. And they waived the initial setup charge and the rates and terms of the mortgage were very competitive.

I thought getting a reverse mortgage could give me a good opportunity to get rid of my mortgaging and give me some money out of my account that was tax-free. I talked to a couple of different companies and the account rep at Finance of America stayed on it and gave me the best information so I stuck with him. He explained all the process to me, how it went, how it worked and what my options were. He sent me information and also assisted me through the process for paperwork and documentation that was needed. If I had questions, I called him a couple of times and he was quick to respond and gave me good information. I was very satisfied and he did a nice job. He was the only real interaction I had with the company. And for all intents and purposes, I selected him because I felt that he gave me the best deal and service.

A reverse mortgage was something I had planned on for quite a few years and the timing to get one was right with the market value. I looked at four other reverse mortgage companies, and what I liked about Finance of America Reverse was that they dealt with me straight up. The other guys were like buying a used car. It was like, “Tell me what everybody else is offering and I’ll tell you if we can beat it.” I do not do business that way. Tell me what you are gonna do and I will see if I want to do business with you.

I did a reverse mortgage with Finance of America Reverse on my brother's recommendation as he had done it before and he seemed to be happy with it. Josh, the loan officer, was very friendly and accessible, and answered his own phone, which really impressed me. I seldom reach the voicemail, but if I did, there was a pretty soon answer. I didn't wait two or three days for him to return a call, and then I would have to call again. He always returned the calls. He was very good and he made the process really simple. I certainly would recommend the people that I worked with should anyone ask me about the company. The process took about two months because the appraisal took far longer than what we had anticipated but it went fine. And working with Finance of America gave me access to the money I need.

Finance of America Reverse was nice and very accommodating. They were also quick and easy to work with. My loan officer was really good about answering my questions and he also made sure that I knew how to get in touch with him. He gave me not only his number, but also his direct supervisor’s number in case I had any questions and happened not to able to get him on the telephone. Working with the company has made me a lot more relaxed. I don’t have as many money worries. I still have some work to do on the house that I’m gonna contact them on, but other than that, everything has been great.
