Finance of America Reverse Reviews

I wanted to keep the house that I’m in and my children didn’t want to move it when I was done. So, the next thing for me to do was to help my financial situation out by using a reverse mortgage. The lady from Finance of America Reverse that I was speaking to was fantastic and unbelievable. She’s a doll. When we got done, we spent a rosy because she worked her tail off on this. Right now, they’re holding money out to pay the taxes real and I’ve been waiting to make sure they get paid or don’t get paid then I would call and talk to them. But I was extremely happy with Finance of America. If I decide that I want to pull the house back into my name, all I got to do is pay the loan back and the interest. I would use them over anybody else even if it was more expensive for me to use them.

Marla from Finance of America Reverse was wonderful. She claimed she put in the notes, "Do not call or send anything to mom's address." But there're so many fools in the world that just don't care. And that's the way things are done nowadays. They kept calling and sending things to my mother. When the first check was finally sent, I called. I said, "Marla, I have not received the check." She looked and told me that they took it to the wrong address. It took us three days to find it. It was on the back of a refrigerator, behind an orange juice and a Federal Express envelope. My mom has dementia. They also sent to my mother some very important paperwork that I needed back and we found it in the recycling bin. I was so aggravated.

I’ve talked to a Finance of America Reverse rep named Jim and another gentleman from another company. We were back and forth and I was trying to see who could give me the best deal. I got passed on from one rep to another in the other company, but with Finance of America, Jim stayed with me throughout the whole process. It was a more personal experience and I liked the personability. Also, we have a relative who is in real estate and we counseled with him a little bit and he agreed with the direction we were going. Jim said the same things to us that our relative did. I’ve already recommended him them to several different ones and if I hear somebody in a little problem, I’d tell them to call Finance of America.

I previously had reverse financing through Celink and they did a good job. When we went to do a second one, I called them and they said they would put me in touch with a company they felt would do it right. The rep from Finance of America was on top of things from beginning to end. She always called to make sure I received the updates and if there were new information or changes, she’d notify me right away. I’m pleased that in the process of going through the reverse mortgage, some funds that were overpaid in the process were returned to me. They were the first to respond, get right back to me, let me know that there was money coming back afterwards and there was no hesitation. In fact, I would receive notifications and not even know that there was some extra money coming back to me. I’m happy with Finance of America and if I had the option to do it one more time, I would be dealing with them.

I wanted to supplement my income so I got a reverse mortgage. I called Finance of America Reverse and I thought it would be a good deal. They explained everything very well and I'm very satisfied so far. If I have any questions they answer them. One of them even called when we were having a storm here. They thought it was going to be a bad hurricane and she wanted to know if I was all right. They're just very nice people and very helpful.

I was over my head and needed to clear up some credit cards. My husband had passed away recently and I also needed to clear up some medical bills. I spoke with Linda at Finance of America Reverse and she was very encouraging and made it where I understood what I was doing. She kept in touch throughout the process, and she didn't ignore me. It just clicked altogether. I was able to take care of the bills and still have a little leftover to take me through the winter.

She (Kyeshia) was able to answer all my questions when I called. If she did not know she would research and get back to me and believe me I did have them. She put me at ease with her knowledge. I'm grateful to have worked with her. I recommend her highly.

Every time I buy a rental property, I have to apply for another loan. With the reverse mortgage, it is easier for me to use that as a line of credit, go back and pay it back, then borrow and pay it back. In a way it's also for retirement. I want to pay it off and then I have income from rental properties. I’ve got 12 rental properties and I paid off the mortgages on all of them. But now, I’ve got an extra 100 and whatever they gave me, I’ve got that. So, in case there’s a foreclosure, I could hop on it and pay cash right off the bat without having to go through the bank. The bank I have, every time I ask for a loan, it took me six weeks until two months to get the financing, and when I'm doing with foreclosures, I can’t do that. Finance of America Reverse has the lower closing cost. The best offer I had was $3,000 more than what Finance of America Reverse had.

The Finance of America's loan officer was very good but I do have objection over the whole process once it was completed. I've gotten two statements showing what I owed in the interest, but there's no return address or return address envelope in case if I wanted to pay it. So, I've been letting it slide a little, but I have to contact them and tell them I want that. I went with them since my wife is sick and in the event that we need the money for to place her in a home or in home care, I would have it available through reverse mortgage. Overall I'm satisfied with them.

Everybody at Finance of America Reverse was very professional and very knowledgeable. We first reached out to them in May and they were able to finish it up in August. It was a little long and there were some loopholes that were not quite right. One of the issues we had was the deeded access to my property. We had to go and get all the paperwork for that completed. I had Manors Insurance which was a big issue and we're trying to find somebody that would do a policy. However, because we live in a hurricane prone area, nobody around here would do an insurance policy that didn't require wind and hail. I don’t feel that we got all that we should have gotten or should have been entitled to because if my house was worth $240,000 and they're only giving me $108,000 then there's a little issue with that even though they set aside money for insurance and property taxes. Despite that, I would still recommend them.

I asked a question online, “What are the five top reverse mortgage companies in the United States?” And Finance of America was one of the five. After the follow-ups I got from all five of them, they were the one I elected. The loan officer Mark had an excellent attitude and the guidance I received was perfect. He did a great job.

The representative from Finance of America that I spoke to was good to work with. He was personable and more straight to the point. I talked to two other companies and they were playing some and a little less than straight about it. The rep from Finance of America gave me a guesstimate or proposal as how things would be play out with the appraised value of my house. And when the appraised value came in a little lower than I anticipated they worked with me on that. So I was pleased. I thought the rep was very professional.

The reverse mortgage is for a lot of things I have to do, like upgrading my house. The people of Finance of America Reverse are so friendly and they help when I needed help. The loan officer did all the legwork and answered all our questions, and everything was smooth. The experience was easy. It seemed like everything I asked, they quoted me and everything’s in writing.

I was going to get a mortgage and I had spoken to several people who were pushy but the gentleman from Finance of America Reverse wasn't. I liked dealing with him and I ended up going with him. He was laid-back, listened to my concerns and worked with me. My experience with Finance of America was easy and fast.

I didn't have enough equity to get good cash back but I did want to eliminate my house payment as my overall retirement plan. Oddly enough, I was doing an inspection job and I had to inspect one of the offices of Finance of America Reverse in Chesterfield County. I talked to Carrie a little bit and she seemed like a good person to deal with and the company seemed to have a good wrap. She's very professional and everything pulled through pretty smoothly. Incidentally, I was in the market for a reverse mortgage. I had a few bumps on the road and we dealt with them pretty well so the experience was positive overall.

My retirement fund is running out so I needed more money. My home has been paid for and there’s nobody that needs it, so I’m just going to use it through a reverse mortgage. I talked to Finance of America Reverse and they seemed all right to me and so, we went with it. Their reps were very informative and handled my application really well. They took care of all my questions, and they were there when I needed them. They did a good job and I’m pleased with them.

I needed the funds to make sure that I was going to be okay for the rest of my life. I was looking at AAG and asked them for information and Finance of America was one of the ones that were highly rated. The loan officer was very cordial and didn't bug me to death, which was nice as I just hate that when I'm on the verge of making a decision, somebody's constantly asking for me. And so, I felt very comfortable with them. They were very cordial, considerate and clear about the process. They knew what I needed and wanted. They sent me any information I might need and answered my questions. I'm a widow so I need as much input as they can give me and they treated me very well. I would recommend Finance of America Reverse to anybody.

Finance of America Reverse has a good cost and interest rate. So, I decided to have my reverse mortgage with them, and they provided me with good guidance. They’re good and are fully knowledgeable of what was happening. Their representatives are always courteous, and they always get back to me right away, which is a good thing. Overall, I’m happy with them.

The Finance of America Reverse loan officer wasn't aggressive and she was very very knowledgeable and a kind person. The guidance I received was good, but there were a couple of things that I didn't like. The appraisal came out almost $20,000 lower than what was expected in this neighborhood. At the same time, they charged me for the reinspection. Those two guys I didn't care much for. There were some painting to be done in the windows in the back. I painted those, but they charged me and took out $130 from my account and they told me that was standard procedure.

I was left alone. My husband died, and I knew the property would have expenses, and it needed a lot of things to be fixed in that. And I didn't have any money at all, only my social security checks and also I don't have a retirement plan. When Finance of America called me, I thought it was a good idea. The people who talked to me were very nice and understanding. They helped me a lot. I'm really happy working with them.

My niece wanted me to get a reverse mortgage because she was on the mortgage too and she wanted to buy out. I got a reverse mortgage from Finance of America Reverse since, first of all, they were nearby and the loan officer that I was dealing with was very good. Whenever we called, she answered. She also had to communicate with my niece who was in Maryland and my niece was pleased that she always got back with her with all the information that she needed. So far, our experience with Finance of America Reverse has been good. But I was disappointed in the amount of money that they were going to finance me for the property in the mortgage. I told the loan officer I was surprised that the city had a higher amount, $394,000, and it was $100,000 less from them. I had gone up and argued with the city about that, but I didn’t know what else to do about it.

I am so glad that Jamie ** was my reverse mortgage specialist. Jamie took the time to thoroughly explain the process and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She made this transaction smooth and simple and I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for a reverse mortgage option.

I compared a couple of mortgage companies and the last guy that I spoke to and met with, convinced me that Finance of America Reverse would be the way to go. They were very accommodating to me. There were certain things that I had to get done at my house before I qualify and they gave me an advance to fix what had to be done before I could qualify for the FHA. The rep called me a couple days a week and gave me updates. He reassured me the loan would be going through and he was very knowledgeable. He also explained what was going to happen with the forms and it just came exactly the way he said would happen. If anybody had a reverse mortgage in mind to do, Finance of America would be the company to go with.

Finance of America Reverse seemed to do the job. So, I just stuck with them. Dealing with their loan officer was good and everything's been finalized. It was a pretty drawn out process, but I suppose that's how it is with everybody. It's only has been finalized for about four months and so far, so good. I had no problem with them.

I asked the people I had a loan with if they could recommend somebody who knew the business and they recommended Finance of America Reverse because they said the company would know all the ins and outs of my loan. I phoned them, everything went great and they paid off the loan. It’s just that this one took a little bit longer than I thought and I seemed to have gotten more paperwork than before and we did all the additional paperwork. But in the end, the loan keeps sending us stuff in the mail although I thought it was all over with. They paid off the loan we had already then they gave us a new loan which was actually the old loan plus the loan. It was confusing.

I had a reverse mortgage before so I thought that we would try it again. Finance of America gave me the best deal and they were willing to work with me. They treated me well. I'm a double amputee and I couldn't get into the office so they came to my house. The loan officer was professional and was the type of person that someone could talk to. The first reverse mortgage I had took over a month to get it taken care of. But with Finance of America, it took about two weeks. It was really spectacular. These guys were professional about it and made me feel comfortable when working with them.

Companies bombarded me with phone calls and emails but the rep from Finance of America Reverse told me they were going to be with me from the beginning to the end and that swayed me to go with them. My guy said anytime I call him, he would call me right back. He explained any questions I had and was accurate, knew what he was talking about and I really liked him. We thought about doing the reverse before but it was a big decision to make. We had to consider what to do if one of us were to pass and it's still at the back of my mind because it would be hard for one person to make it financially. But we’re glad we did it although it was eerie at first. I was working part-time to cleaning homes, but I just couldn't do it anymore because of my health.

We give Jamie ** highest marks for her work with us. There were some challenges in obtaining our reverse mortgage, and Jamie guided us through all of them. She's a pro, and she's a delight to work with. We recommend her highly to anyone.

I was going to do a reverse mortgage about four years ago and I almost did it, but then I changed my mind. Now, I made up my mind and I did it this time with Finance of America Reverse. They sounded okay to me and have no problems with them. The rep I've spoken with was good. They explained everything, answered all my questions and made sure I understood. I talked to a woman who came over and then they evaluated my property. The process took just a few weeks and everything went good.

An absolutely friendly and highly efficient experience. Reason for review: Without the persistence of Toby ** and his accurate information as well as the fair offer, I would still be milling around. Due to family emergencies I had to put him off for a period of time, but he called me after the requested time out from the procedure to get me back on track. Bottom Line: totally professional, fair, accurate, and especially sympathetic to my rather advanced age (80) and major hearing loss due to Tank guns from an Army Career.

I am 84 and I'm retired. I have too many payments especially my mortgage of $800 a month. That's just eats too much of my cash up. Now, I don't have that problem anymore. I got a reverse mortgage from Finance of America Reverse. Interacting with my loan officer was all fun and games. We’re just laughing to it. I went to their school where you get to listen and see where everything was going on and it went fine.

I had done a reverse mortgage on another house with Finance of America Reverse. I called them up to see if they wanted to do another one for me. I wanted to have flexibility so I went with a reverse mortgage. The loan officer followed up and was phenomenal. Everything went as advertised and I was very pleased.

Our experience with Nick ** in acquiring our reverse mortgage line of credit was a smooth process. Nick was fully engaged from the beginning consultation by phone until the actual realization of the funding and direct deposit of immediate monies into our account. Pleasant conversations on a regular basis, interested in our life experiences, helpful with answers to our questions. Nick is an asset to Finance of America Reverse.

I asked what the top five reverse mortgage companies were on the internet and Finance of America Reverse came up. I made the call and it sounded good so we decided to go with them. Robert, our loan officer did an excellent job in helping us. He was very personable, very patient and explained everything to us. It was an excellent service and we're really happy with them.

I looked up reverse mortgages on the internet and got about three calls and one of them was Finance of America Reverse. They were very nice and gave me an optimistic outlook of what I could receive. I also liked what they said they could give me. The rep took my interest as a primary and was very friendly, helpful and professional. It only took about two and a half months to finish all the paperwork. I’ve been happy with my experience.

I have no complaints about Finance of America Reverse. They were very good to work with and it went very quickly. We had an excellent experience with them and I would refer them.

I liked the idea of reverse mortgage so I was looking at several ways to do it. I did some research on it and then chose to do it with Finance of America. I got very good guidance from them. They sent us a lot of material and then we spent about an hour or so with the rep going over it all with me on the phone. It was like going to school again, you had to take a test. Everything seems to be going okay. If it doesn’t, we’ll sure let them know. In fact, I’d recommend them. They did everything they said they were going to do on time, efficiently. If we had a question, we were able to call and get an answer right away. Conversed over email and phone. We might even have had some texts. It was a very good experience.

I've had other companies that I was supposed to do reverse mortgage with and for one hokey-pokey reason or another they couldn't do the deal. Then it got delayed and delayed and I finally got disgusted and hung up the phone on them. But Finance of America Reverse got the job done. My loan officer had some personal problems for a while so I got forwarded to her manager who was useless. But she handled the deal when she got back. And she was nice and personable.

I can't survive on my social security, and since I've had a bad experience with AAG, I went with Finance of America Reverse where everyone was always very nice. My actual assigned agent went on vacation right before my closing, so his manager took over. They communicated via phone and email well. They listened to me, helped me and they were able to get me approved when the other company misled me about the approval process. They did what they said they would do and were very nice about it. Plus, they were very much on top of keeping me informed through the process.

I went with a reverse mortgage knowing that I can live here for the next 20 years without a house payment because I'm just living on my Social Security. And then in 2015, surprisingly, I had a heart attack and had bypass surgery right after my birthday. I had a Kaiser insurance, which had a $4900 out of pocket per year. That really threw me because all of a sudden I couldn't work and I had all this, just for the medical stuff. It was overwhelming. I was looking for refinancing and doing a lot of online research when Finance of America reached out to me.

I inherited my brother’s house and it needed mega fixing up. A reverse mortgage was the only way I could do it without waiting until December to get it done. I went online to check about reverse mortgages and Finance of America contacted me. I felt like I got the truth up front and nothing was sugarcoated. The guidance they provided helped make things easier, and I could understand what they were telling me. The process was easy and at times, it was difficult because there were things I needed to send to them and I wouldn’t be home to go online and send that. Plus, there’s too much duplicate paperwork. However, they did a good job of keeping me informed of what was happening step by step and they treated me well. Everything went painlessly.

I talked to them way back when they were still Urban Finance. And when I decided to reactivate it, I found out that they have changed their name to Finance of America Reverse. The numbers made sense, so I decided to get a reverse mortgage, and I was very pleased with my loan officer. She was very informative, and she answered all of my questions. She was also prompt and she stayed after me. She wasn’t pushy. Instead, she just nudged me along, so that was a good thing. I am happy and satisfied with Finance of America, and I’ve told my relatives about them.

I had too much debt since my husband died. I was paying my bills but I was getting behind and I didn't want that. I read on Facebook that reverse mortgage was something to look into and it was very appealing to me because of the fact that I can pay it back if I want to, but if I don’t want to I don’t have to. My son will. My intention was to immediately start paying on it as soon as the rest of my debt is taken care of but the option’s there and that meant a lot to me. I've also gotten some insurance so that will be able to help my son with paying it back hopefully.

We couldn't make it on just our Social Security checks when it comes down to paying the taxes so I sought for a reverse mortgage. The lady from Finance of America was the first one to call and she sounded like she knew what she was talking about. She also said that it was going to be a good deal and that I should try it and how much interest I was going to get if we didn't use it She explained to me everything at the time. However, I don't know what I got to do now if I want more money. I would have to call her and find out what my next move would be because I took $10,000 when we started. Overall, Finance of America was very good and helpful.

My house needed a new roof and the house is paid for so I decided that I'd put it to work for itself. I talked to about four different outfits and I liked that Finance of America has a cap on the interest. Most of the other ones didn’t have a cap on it. I was in touch with my loan officer a lot. There were a little bit of delays, part of it because I'm traveling a lot and I wasn’t here when they were here.

My house had a very high valuation and I had a minimal debt on it. I also knew that if I could realign some cash, I’ll live on for a while. So I got a reverse mortgage from Finance of America Reverse. Their rep, Jason, was extremely cooperative, helpful and I regarded him as a really outstanding teacher when dealing with their company. He's a terrific person.

Nigel is a very thorough and dedicated person that has been there every step of the way. He has made this process seamless and uneventful. He went above and beyond the entire time. He is definitely heaven sent. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH NIGEL!

I was real happy with the process at Finance of America. I was thrilled by how fast it took. I decided to do reverse mortgage so that I wouldn't have a house payment. At first I had talked to somebody else about it, but it wasn't getting anywhere. So when someone told me about Finance of America Reverse, I went with them. They were very good at guiding me through the process. Working with Cindy was great, so I'm very happy. She took care of everything fast, was very complete and she covered the bases in case I had a low appraisal on how to get my money and all the possibilities. Everything was covered and explained. It's been a very great experience. In fact I'm referring someone else to Cindy who is interested in a reverse mortgage.

Working with Finance of America Reverse was a good experience. They weren't pushy, plus, it went fast and that was the main thing. I liked Scott, the guy who helped me, very much. I was working with another guy when Scott called me out of the blue. I told him where I was with the other guy. He then said he'll see what he can do for me. It was really great to have somebody call me.

I lost my wife back in March and it changed my whole financial situation a little bit because my level of income had reduced to half of what it was. I had to find a number of different ways to save money so I decided to start researching the reverse mortgage as an option rather than continue to pay the high payment that I had. I found several companies and contacted some of them.

I'm satisfied with Finance of America Reverse and we had no drawbacks. Initially their guy kept calling me and brought all the paperwork to me. I went over it with my wife before we decided to go with it. I talked with other companies but Finance of America Reverse was the most honest. Everything went well and I'd give their reps an A plus. They were very courteous and answered any questions we had. The finance helped out when I needed the money to get some of my hospital doctors paid. That worked out well for us. At our age there's not a whole lot we can do other than what we did so it's a lifesaver and I recommend them.

Compared with other companies, Finance of America Reverse seem to be more aggressive and wanted things done. The loan rep who helped me was very thorough and provided updates and answers to all my questions. She gave me all the information I needed. Everything's been straightforward to me. A good experience overall.

We had thought about reverse mortgage and had been looking into it. The gentleman from Finance of America talked to us about it and got us going with the reverse mortgage. We liked his customer service better than anybody else. He was great and very helpful. Also, he always returned every call promptly. The process was very smooth and everything went well. We were very satisfied with Finance of America.

A couple of years ago, I went with a company and they were going nowhere. So I went online, found a couple there and went with Finance of America. I told the person on the phone that I talked to that we inherited this property from my husband’s side of the family and it was in pretty bad shape. So the money we were paying in rent, we put towards repairing the house. First thing we had to do was get the plumbing and the electrical done. We moved in here in winter so we also had to have the windows replaced. When the money ran out, I started using my credit cards, and it got to the point that there was no money and very little balance on the credit card. So that’s when I decided to go with the reverse mortgage.

I talked to my Finance of America Reverse loan officer and he seemed to be the guy that would give the checklist and go down through the items needed so I didn't bother investigate on other companies. I sent him my stuff but there seemed to be an awful lot of things that were redundant. But at some point, we got everything taken care of and got the loan. However, 4.9% interest is way too high so I applied for another loan to pay off the reverse mortgage.

I wanted to free up my money so I didn't have to keep feeling like I was struggling. Finance of America Reverse was the first mortgage company I went to and seemed to be easy to deal with. Yet, I wasn't too satisfied and it seemed complicated until the end because of the loan officer. He was confused and didn't know the experience some of the times but we were able to get it through.

We did extensive research for a reverse mortgage. We started out with AAG and we figured they were just too much and does not have the best deal. We narrowed it down to about five companies, and we narrowed it down to three, then we narrowed it down to two, and then we narrowed it down to FAR. The woman who we talked to from FAR treated us very well compared to some of the others. When there were changes to be made, she did them. The whole system with FAR was good. They gave us what we asked for. We’re both in our mid-80s and our program runs to 2020. By that time, we’ll probably be below the grass or in a suitable care center. FAR definitely did a good job.

Finance of America appeared to be very competitive with their pricing in comparison with other companies that I talked to so I chose to have a reverse mortgage with them for my retirement. I had other offers from other agents and when I compared the pricing and showed it to the other agents, Finance of America beat them. The pricing came up well since Finance of America brought a lot of money to the table and that made it compelling for me to go with them.

I was running out of assets and I didn’t want to sell off anymore, so the choice was either get a reverse mortgage or a second mortgage. I have massive medical expenses, so I decided the reverse mortgage was the easiest way to go. The lady from Finance of America Reverse was wonderful and helpful at every step of the way. She gave me another contact who also gave me specifics as to what information I needed. They were friendly and willing to solve the hiccups that arose.

I had a very good experience and I could not have asked for a better guy to help me on this deal. I already had a reverse mortgage, but then Finance of America called me and they thought I could get more money, which I did. I have two or three companies on hand. And I did check out to make sure I wasn't signing away my life. And it came out okay. I think the best thing that sold me was Kevin. He was the one handling it and he sold the company to me for what he did. He was amazing. He was always available to me. For questions, he answered them correctly. He always did follow ups like he was supposed to do. He is a great asset to their company. It was very pleasant, very easy. I just enjoyed doing business with them.

I researched on the internet and looked at Finance of America Reverse's rating. I read comments about other companies and people who were not happy with other companies and I didn't find any negatives regarding this company. And when I asked for a response from Finance of America I got it right away. The process took a couple of months because we just moved here into this house. We had to sell one of our rental houses in order to buy this one and we paid cash. That took $150,000 out of our income and I had to replace that income with the reverse mortgage to have access to cash just in case something bad happened to us. I only took $20,000 out of the reverse mortgage and kept the rest for emergency needs.

I lost a lot of my retirement because of the Obama administration's policies as well as the stock market and real estate crash. So, I needed some extra retirement money. My sister had a successful reverse mortgage for 10 years or more, and I felt that the equity in my house, which was substantial, should be of value to allow me to have a better lifestyle for the next 10 years. I decided to sign up for a reverse mortgage as well and I did it with Finance of America Reverse.

I spoke with other mortgage companies and I didn't like the way they handled my case. They counseled me and they have been a little shady and I was afraid to go with them. And then I talked to somebody from Finance of America Reverse and everything was changed. I enjoyed my experience with them. I liked the way they answered the telephone and my questions in general. Every time I called they were right on it.

My loan officer, John, was very professional with the way he dealt with my situation that's why I went with Finance of America Reverse. He went over and above to make the deal happen. My son did the painting on the side and I did more painting than was necessary. But when they gave me the money, there were some discrepancies in the paint which I had done about a month ago. The inspector came out and inspected it but he didn't tell me if he approved it. He just took pictures. But I'm entitled to a reimbursement of $1,375 excluding the fees for the guy who came for the inspection.

I needed some cash to work with for maintenance on the house and it seemed like Finance of America Reverse was the best one to work with. I got pushed in the right direction. The only thing was that the original estimate that they worked on was based on a two-year-old tax estimate on the value of the home which was over $300,000. I told their rep that the way things were right now the best estimate would have been around $285. I ended up actually passing it at around $290. They were comfortable to work with, friendly and not too pushy. I would recommend them to a friend.

My house is just a stack of lumber and all my relatives are deceased but I'm not going to give the house away. I'm spending for the house and there should be enough left in equity over the years. I did a mortgage of $9,000 with Finance of America Reverse and they paid that out. I tried another company first but it was a horrible experience that lasted almost a year. I'm smart enough to know what was going on in the first place and I could tell if there was something right off the bat.

We started the reverse mortgage process because my husband had to retire for medical reasons. He was just not able to work any longer. Our income and finances suffered greatly. We gave Fareverse mountains of paperwork, in some cases twice. Went through their counseling process, etc. Then it seemed that the process stalled. Every time we called for an update, there was no news, or they needed more information, which we had already provided. I feel we were strung along for no reason. We were stressed to begin with, and this just continually added to our stress. This process went on for 5 months, until my husband couldn't take it any longer. He finally said, "Give me an answer or we are done". We never received an answer. It seemed like they didn't care at all. Unanswered calls, emails, and texts is not an encouraging endorsement to a company.

I weighed all my options and saw how my income was. I hadn’t been able to save what I wanted to so I figured a reverse mortgage was the best option out for me. By doing a reverse mortgage, I got a monthly payment that would help me out. And the reason I chose Finance of America was the agent seemed to be willing to help me. He was more honest about what he was saying, like what would happen and how to go about it. He broke down to me the different options I had, laid the plans out, and gave me a chance to see which one would better suit me. I had one company that I dealt with and they weren't upfront with me with everything.

My mom and I lived together and the house was hers. When she passed away, it wasn’t paid for about half-way. She had more income than I did and there was no way that I could make the payments on it. Sadly, I knew that I would have to sell it. A friend gave me Finance of America Reverse's phone number and told me that I should check them out. I looked into a reverse mortgage and I decided it was perfect and was the best move for me because I don’t have any siblings, any children, a husband, and nobody to leave anything to. I thought about moving at one time, but then I decided that I know this house. I love the neighborhood. I have good neighbors and I feel safe here. The house was in good shape and what’s been done to it.

I've got a lot of equity in the house and I wanted to use it. I went with Finance of America Reverse and my interaction with their reps and the guidance that I got was excellent.

My husband is 83 and wants to retire. We plan to stay in our home and it's good for the long haul for us. Our mortgage payment is a significant factor in our retirement income which is fixed. Lowering expenses would eliminate the mortgage and having a reverse mortgage seemed like a good way to start. I sent out fillers to different companies via email but we changed our minds. So I emailed all these people and thanked them for their time because we decided not to do this.

We have a nice house which we just had repainted and we asked our kids if they would like to have it 'cause we're getting up in age. But they have their own house and they didn't want to be responsible for mine too. I figured that through a reverse mortgage I'll get something out of it then let it go and whoever wants to pick it up at the end can sell it and do whatever they want to do with the money.

Finance of America was excellent and they were easy to work with. They gave me enough information and if I wanted more, they would give more. Also, their loan officer was very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. The process went smoothly as well and it was done before we even realized we started. They made me feel very comfortable with what I was doing. They did an awesome job and I would recommend them.

I needed to do a reverse mortgage for my mother. She has problems with her medical condition, so I have a Power of Attorney for her. I went to a lot of different companies and got four quotes. It did not work out with my first choice since they don’t deal with a POA. Then I heard of Finance of America Reverse from Consumer Affairs and we were able to work it out. I had tons of interaction with the loan officer. The basic issue was I had to establish with letters from doctors that my mother was capable of signing the POA that was recently enacted but she would not able to handle the reverse mortgage later on.

I needed a reverse on my credit and Finance of America were well-known. I contacted them first and I got some good information, so I went with it. My interaction with their loan officer was excellent. She was very explanatory, patient and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable about it. It's critical because I didn't know much about all these and she walked me through it. It has gone well so far. They’re a helpful and good company.

I needed a reverse mortgage. I had two providers trying to get a hold of me and I liked Finance of America Reverse's rep whom I talked with. He was better. He was also knowledgeable and very friendly. Getting the mortgage with them has been very simple to do.

We needed a roof immediately and some other things for the house. We also wanted to start some kind of a savings account. The guy from Finance of America was really nice and he explained everything to me. He would call me and talk to me about what's coming up, what I have to do with my paperwork and how to do it. I like dealing with them. I had to talk to another mortgage company first, and they came up with things that I couldn't do, so I told them to put it on hold. So, when I talked to the guy from Finance of America, I told him what the guy from the other company told me, and he said that I don't have to do it.

I was very fortunate to have Robert ** handle the process of obtaining a Reverse Mortgage for me. Mr. ** should be commended on his professional demeanor. He kept me advised as the process proceeded. He was so pleasant and helpful. I know that he was dedicated to assure that I obtained the Reverse Mortgage that I so desperately needed. I can never thank him enough, for his tireless effort on my behalf. I would most assuredly recommend him to my friends.

I had been very disappointed by another lender as they were trying to do reverses but their personnel was lame and I was getting conflicting information depending on who I talk to. So, I responded to a blurb on Facebook that I wanted to get more information and Finance of America Reverse was the first one to respond. When their rep, Chris called me, I quizzed him strongly on the subjects that I was interested in and he had the answers to everything. He was extremely knowledgeable with a great personality and I felt like we were friends when we were going through all this.

Our 401K money was getting low and I still needed to have our house painted and the landscaping done. Since we had no intentions of leaving the house, I thought of getting a reverse mortgage. My husband was sick at that time and if anything ever happened to him, I would have a very difficult time staying at our house. When he got out of the hospital, I told him that we needed to get a reverse mortgage so that we won't ever have to worry about leaving our house and if something happens to him, I can live comfortably at our home. My husband knew that I was taking care of the whole reverse mortgage transaction. I have a real estate background so no one can throw any terminology about this at me that I didn't know or understand.

I needed work to be done on my house and I didn’t want to go into another bill, so I got additional information, read up on the reverse mortgage and went through quite a few companies before I ended up with Finance of America Reverse. They gave me excellent guidance in making my decision and after speaking with their rep, I felt at home. She was extremely pleasant, courteous and helpful. She's the reason why I stayed with them.

I had a good experience with Finance of America Reverse. I've read about them in a paper, called them and I liked the people I talked with. They were knowledgeable and they explained to me exactly what a reverse mortgage was so I wouldn't make a mistake. Erika, the girl I dealt with, was very helpful. She knew exactly what she was doing. I would advise anybody that didn’t have children and didn’t want to leave their house to anybody to take the mortgage. It would give them a little more money while they’re here on earth.

A friend told me about Finance of America Reverse. I chose a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan because I wanted to get the cash out. The guidance I have received from Finance of America Reverse in making my reverse mortgage decision was okay.

I got a reverse mortgage to give me extra cash. I didn’t have to have it, but sometimes I need drugs that I can’t afford. I have to charge and then make payments, which I didn’t want to do. I've also done some remodeling around here. Finance of America's loan officer was good, and everything went smoothly.

I put a request online for companies that could handle my needs and Finance of America was in the middle in terms of closing costs, but I liked the lady that I dealt with so I went with them. They were prompt and provided the information right away. I didn't have to wait a week to get it. However, it took a little longer to get it closed out than they anticipated because there were people that they had no control over, like the appraiser, that didn't react as quickly as they felt they would.

I checked a couple of mortgage companies beside Finance of America Reverse and they were the most responsive and the most cooperative. Their loan officer is very cordial, very informative and very helpful.

We have no children and we had a small mortgage. With a reverse mortgage, we would eliminate that payment to increase our budget a little bit or make our budget a little more manageable. I checked with two or three companies and Finance of America Reverse had the best terms. Their rep Robert was very professional. He'd always return my calls promptly and any little glitches that we ran into, he worked on them very quickly. He was also very good about giving us various options whether we deadlined in credit or the amount that we selected for the fixed rate loan. Overall, it's a very good experience.

I chose a reverse mortgage a part of my investment plan, and with the cost and the rates available to the market at the time I did it, I could easily recoup my investment to money. The rep from Finance of America Reverse was pretty knowledgeable, responsive and followed the directions well.

We've been looking at retirement options for close to a year, doing internet lookups, read some of the reviews and interviewed a couple of companies before my wife and I decided to go with Finance of America Reverse. We only have social security and what’s keeping us from retiring are the medical issues I’m going through and our mortgage. It’ll be great if we get rid of it so the reverse mortgage absolutely fits our plan.

Finance of America Reverse did my reverse mortgage. I'm very satisfied with the experience and I've shared it with others whose state might be benefited by this. The person who worked with me was so helpful. He was patient when I would get frustrated. He was optimistic when I was not so optimistic. He would help me understand what was needed and worked through the issues that needed to be resolved. When I called he was available, but if not, he returned my calls quickly. He also answered my questions and gave me the necessary information I needed in a timely way. When it was time for me to speak to another person, they followed through the same kind of service that the loan specialist has provided.

Finance of America Reverse was nice and explained everything to my mother. She got $10,000 of it upfront and then they told her she’d get the rest of her money in June of 2018, and she's looking forward to that. She said everything went well and she seemed to be happy. There was a lady, named Jamie, who helped us through the whole thing and she was great, really there for us, very professional and friendly.

I had to have a reverse mortgage done as soon as possible and the lender that I was dealing with was slow and wasn't moving, so I dealt with Finance of America Reverse and it turned out well with them. The rep that I worked with was very nice and I had a very good interaction with her. My situation was unique and she was very knowledgeable about my particular situation, and she dealt with it very well so I was very pleased. The guidance that I got for my situation was good and the rep dealt with my problems very quickly. So, I definitely had a very good experience with Finance of America.

My husband had dementia and he died. I was in poverty and I had to sell my house and move. I started doing research online and getting correspondence. I looked at three companies and one of the people at Reverse was the most helpful and I liked some of their rates better. Their rep was very good, answered all of my questions and showed me some things I didn't know. She made it a lot easier to understand. Overall, I had a good experience.

We wanted to not have any payment. I talked to the salesman of Finance of America Reverse and he sounded nice and easy to work with. He was knowledgeable and he kept us informed all the time and called me a couple of times a week and it went really smoothly. I thought it was gonna take months and it only took one month. It was really easy and quick and they kept me educated and informed and I was really happy with it.

I'm 80 years old now. I did the reverse mortgage so I'd cut some on my bill and it had a nice effect. I had a reverse mortgage already and I want to do another reverse which is allowable. I had a lot of problems and errors that had to be taken care of and Finance of America was very good, understanding and patient. They were also nice to work with and they had no pressure. And once you're finished with them, they even call you back. It was a very good experience.

I was dealing with a company that was supposed to get everything done but it got up to a point where it just hung up and was going nowhere. I was already approved at the application, but they had to have the final word from the underwriters. The guy I was dealing with said that they will have it in a day or two, but it turned out into a week or two and then turned into over a month. Then I got contacted by Finance of America Reverse and I told them about that. The nice lady that worked with me went out of her way to get her upper management get me approved which was good. There were some hang-ups too, but she kept working on it and made it happen. The people I worked with at Finance of America went out of their way to help me get approved. Everything is going okay with the way the loan is being serviced but I’m at the point where once they got everything done and got their commission, they didn’t really care if they talked to me anymore.

I had done a reverse mortgage with Urban Financial, now Finance of America Reverse, back in 2012. I then worked with them again and chose a reverse mortgage since I only was getting social security and I couldn't afford to pay the house payment. It was wonderful with Scott, the loan officer. He's the same one I worked with the first time. So, I had already been through with him. He was very knowledgeable and treated me very well and got things done very quickly for me. The guidance I received was very good. It's a great experience with Finance of America and it's a company for anybody that needs help paying for their mortgage once they get on social security and can't afford to pay their mortgage.

I wanted to pay out some bills that I had, and also needed to do more work on my property. So, I got the program from Finance of America Reverse. The loan officer, Tony, always answered the phone when I needed information. He tried to push along as good as he could. I just bought the place when I first called him so he told me to wait a year to get a better appraisal and get the house more work then. He’s courteous and he tried to keep everything smooth and good.

I checked with Finance of America Reverse and saw what they had to offer. I did a reverse mortgage because I like the fact that I didn't have to make monthly payments and a part of the money came that I could use and get my taxes paid. I started with them and they tried to find any information and I got a little education on how it worked. They kept walking with me till it finally came to fruition. The loan officer was terrific. He worked with me and stayed in touch. Anytime I needed something or every time he needed something, he was right there to call. He kept me in the loop the whole time. Everything was good and I couldn't have done it without the guidance I received from Finance of America Reverse.

My husband questioned a couple of companies that were offering reverse mortgage and Finance of America’s rep was the one who acted the quickest. He was very explanatory about everything that we were doing. There were a couple of things that I wasn’t happy with but that’s okay. It started out that I was gonna be getting my $1500 and by the time everything happened, I ended up only getting $6. I had a lot of different bills I was planning on paying off and I had gone so far with everything. I felt like it was stuck in there. I paid a few bills and I still got an outstanding credit card that I am paying on but the interest is through the roof.

I was looking up reverse mortgages and saw Finance of America Reverse. They had the best rates among two or three other places so I went with them. Their loan officers were pleasant, patient, informative, and very knowledgeable. The deal got done after about six months but it was mostly my fault. I wasn't in a hurry but everything went okay. I was working with two other companies about the same time and the advice I got from all of them was similar. Finance of America Reverse did a good job of explaining options. However, how they show the possible financial outcome is a little misleading as it's based on the best case scenario. If the value of the house continues to increase and I don't take any money then I see a net increase. But that's assuming that I don't draw any money out, which is the reason I get a reverse mortgage in the first place. Still, it was an enlightening and positive experience.

The loan officer from Finance of America that I spoke with was a very patient and wonderful person. She was, literally, at my beck and call for almost two months. I didn’t really find out what the program or the process was until I applied, but she was very knowledgeable and repetitive because some of the information is unbelievable. I was required to go to a counseling session together with my lawyer where they asked me questions whether or not I was certain about doing the reverse mortgage and they reiterated exactly what the loan officer had told me. During the loan process, if I had any questions, I would call her up and we’d go through about 125 pages together. It’s overwhelming but she made me understand things that I was skeptical of, so she made all the difference in the world to me.

The agent from the first reverse mortgage place that I picked was very skeptical and had no solutions. I felt like I was somewhat under siege, so I fired her. Then I got this other guy from Finance of America Reverse. He was great, very efficient, patient, professional, and stayed in contact with me. He came off as very genuine and he did an excellent job. I was very impressed and overwhelmed. He gave me what I needed and it didn't take him long. If I had been with him in the first place, I would have done what I was trying to get done done but as a result, I didn’t actually get what I needed to get done in time. I wanted to buy my friend's car. I've known him for 50 years and he ended up with cancer and was dying, so the car was very personal for me.

I went online and looked at various reverse mortgage companies and Finance of America had a better rating so I chose them. I would give them a grade of A, because of their rep at their Indiana office was superior and wonderful. During my initial application, I said that I’m only going to use Finance of America if the loan can be completed by a certain day since I had a deadline to meet. I had some problems with my application due to a recent move to Florida and my bank account records were in Ohio. Nicole cut through the red tape and personally got the records that I needed more quickly than I could. That was extraordinary and I couldn’t be more pleased. At the conclusion, I wrote her a personal thank you note. And, I would recommend Finance of America to anybody who was considering a reverse mortgage.

I was looking for a reverse mortgage and I went through the ads. Once you put down one on the internet, everybody comes out and they’re still coming. I got the numbers and everything from different finance companies from different organizations and I could tell when they weren’t really concerned about me. I was a voice on the phone and they were gonna slam me with some numbers and told me to go for it. The next line was, “If you don’t like that, we can change it.” I didn't need to do this kind of business. But Finance of America was honest and the agent was very concerned about what was happening. I liked the follow-up and the communications.

Honesty is important to me so I told Finance of America Reverse that if I never catch them in a lie, we’ll do business. Otherwise, I would come after them. And when I spoke to Joe, he didn’t lie. Everything he told me that would happen, happened. Others would say they can save you money if you use them but I don’t believe that. Even if I did, I'd still use Joe because I trust him. He gave me whatever I was entitled to, there are no secrets and whatever he told me that was on that closing thing, that’s what it was. I loved that guy and I'm very happy with Finance of America Reverse. Everything is going perfectly and I would recommend them.

When I went on the internet and looked for anybody that was doing reverse mortgages for my father, Finance of America Reverse responded and I understood them better. The people got back to me in a timely fashion, they were willing to work with me and I can email them easily. The loan officer was amazing. He was very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and tried very hard to help us. We live in a different state and he was very communicative. They made it an easy process. Plus, their guidance was very good and I was very happy with the outcome. Everybody was honest and to the point. They can explain a lot of information to us when the appraisal did not come back as we thought. They were able to explain to us and there was a lot of reassurance behind what they were saying. It was an excellent and a very positive experience, one that I can understand easily with things that are outside of my realm of knowledge. They did a good job.

I have a very good experience with Finance of America Reverse. We thought that it would be a good thing to have because of retirement. They were not pushy and very helpful. I like their customer service. They explained everything and they address any questions I had. We've pretty much knew what we were doing but their guidance was still helpful. They made a few suggestions that we thought were good. I would recommend them to anyone that's considering it.

I saw reverse mortgage as a way to get rid of our mortgage payment and it would make our financial situation a lot easier. I went online, put in several inquiries and Finance of America Reverse was one of them. They were on top of things and some of the other companies were from out of state, East Coast. So, I thought I’d keep it closer to home and I felt better about that. The loan officer was helpful. There were some things I didn’t understand and he coached me on how to fill out forms and deal with different situations. He helped me understand the process. I was given good guidance when I was deciding on the reverse mortgage. There was enough detail and they didn’t gloss over anything. I could also ask any question I wanted.

Having a reverse mortgage was something we wanted to figure out for our retirement plan. The company that we originally had stopped giving out any reverse mortgages and they referred Finance of America Reverse to us so we tried them. The loan officer was excellent. He called back if we had questions and he handled every aspect of the loan in a proper way. We have received excellent guidance from them.

I have Social Security coming so I had to use reverse mortgage just as a back-up in case I need additional money because I don’t want to go broke. I started out with Lakeland Bank, but we couldn’t get things straightened out. So, I spoke with Jason from Finance of America Reverse and he solved a lot of problem for me. He followed up on everything and it was a great interaction. We had discussed options over the phone and they came here and went over it. Everything went smoothly because they were knowledgeable in what we had to have and on any questions we had. Everything went smoothly when I went to close. However, I didn’t like the idea of being charged for monthly statements. That’s going to add up to a lot of money. Nevertheless, I was pleased with everything and the way they handled it. I’m very satisfied with what we got.

I have no complaints whatsoever with Finance of America Reverse. I worked with Chris and he was great. We started talking on the phone and he was just good to talk to. He answered all my questions on how reverse mortgage works and he didn't put any pressure on me whatsoever to do it. I told him what I needed and he took care of that. They have set up everything for me and it was so easy with them. I have bought a house about 40 years ago and I've always wanted to remodel the kitchen. I told Chris how much I needed to work with and got more of that. I only took what I needed and I've got more available if I needed it.

Finance of America Reverse was referred by an investment adviser. Everything was good in terms of cost and then having been referred made me feel comfortable. They were all excellent, every single one. The loan officer was great and had a lot of patience with me. It took me a long time to decide that reverse mortgage was the right thing to do and he didn’t pressure me. I decided on it because of the income it creates. It was a very good experience and I’m glad I used their services.

I still owe $300,000 on my house and the interest rates and the payments were going up and up. I couldn’t afford to stay at my house and a reverse mortgage looked like it's the only way to save my house. I decided to go with Finance of America Reverse since they were close-by. I was able to talk to Carol, their representative in San Diego to start working and I knew I can do the process. We had some problems at first then we got it all ironed up. I had to wait six months to retry and it all worked out good. Carol was knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. I liked her. The guidance I received was fine as well. I'm very happy with it. It was a wonderful experience with Finance of America Reverse and I have recommended them to a couple of friends.

I'm 71 and I looked to take equity out of the home that I bought. I have $300,000 or $400,000 equity in the house but my loan ratio was 45% so I couldn’t get a home equity loan. I have one daughter to leave the house to so I decided it's time for me to start enjoying my life and got a reverse mortgage. The Finance of America Reverse loan officer was incredibly knowledgeable and very customer-oriented. He was very easy to get a hold of and I even had his private cellphone number. The experience was wonderful. The people at Finance of America Reverse were excellent to work with and I'm very pleased with the results.

There’s a man at our church who has a program on the radio and he tries to connect with various businesses who will give seniors a fair deal. So he connected me with the lady that did give me the first reverse mortgage. I had two reverse mortgages with Finance of America Reverse. The first one would be three years in September, and that went well. The house needed a bunch of updating or improving, and I didn't have the money to do it. So I took out the first reverse mortgage and was able to have new siding put on and new windows put in. I had a new driveway and all of my walks replaced. It looks very nice.

Our children don’t like this house because it's in the middle of nowhere and there are no malls and stores. So we said we might as well enjoy it. When Finance of America Reverse sent the information, I called them back. They answered questions and they were there. They're one of the few that I talked to and they were professional and pleasant. The representative was very knowledgeable. We went through counseling and we said this is what we want to do. We listened, learned and we did it. I would recommend them.

I'm retired and I was getting stretched financially. I used to hear about reverse mortgage. I went on the computer and I looked it up. Then people started calling me. Then a lady from Finance of America Reverse called me. She was talking to me and she said, "Well, it's good to hear two different people. You can then just go with one." She was telling me all the different things. I compared what she told me and what the other person told me, I also asked other people what they know about it because I didn’t know anything about reverse mortgage. But after the lady from Finance of America talked to me and see certain things that she told me and I compared with the other company who had called me, I then took all their information and sent it to my son, and he decided on her also. That’s how I ended up taking this company.

We were financially strapped and so we wanted to do a reverse mortgage. We were considering one reverse mortgage company, but they weren't working out too well. So we changed our minds and went with Finance of America Reverse because they seemed to be the most cooperative. My son did all the transaction with them. Also, we've been happy with that decision to go with them except for the dispute over the insurance. They were supposed to pay the insurance and they paid the homeowners, but they didn't pay Windstorm. They evidently thought the homeowners included Windstorm, but it doesn't. Other than that, I'd still recommend Finance of America Reverse.

I have a very capable financial adviser who handles my retirement plan and told me what I can, should and should not do. He was always in favor of doing a reverse mortgage and I trust his judgment. It’s a big decision and I was in a position where I had to make sure my wife was comfortable with it. My wife and I went to see that same financial adviser and I asked him to please put her mind at ease about the whole thing which she did very well. I had to wait till the point where age-wise, between myself and my wife and the status of our mortgage, we will qualify. There were certain conditions that had to be met and when we finally met them, we decided to look into it.

I thought a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan would get me all out of debt and it did. The people who worked with me at Finance of America Reverse were great and now, my finances are in line. I was very happy with their service. The woman that handled this was very nice and understanding of my problem. She was knowledgeable in telling me what to do and she gave me all the information I needed to make the best decision. She also told me exactly what was going down. I had quite a few other people call me but nothing like her.

I heard about reverse mortgages so I researched on the computer and ran across Finance of America Reverse. I called their number to find some information about how they worked and ended up speaking to one of their reps. I like people who are laid back country folk like myself and the young lady was a lot like me and we got along. She was patient with me, explained how it all works and the process that would have to be undergone. I was happy with the way she explained that I decided to go with them. The guidance was extremely good because they told me I’d have to speak to the government councilor, have an appraiser come out and all the procedures that would be involved.

I needed extra money in case of emergencies and I had a car that I needed to have some work done. I contemplated about getting a reverse mortgage for quite a long time because there was no risk about the whole thing and my home is already paid off. So I decided to step out in place and hope for the best with Finance of America. They were very kind, helpful and they sent me information. If there was a mistake on the paperwork, they got to it real quick. I used the line of credit because I didn’t want all the money at one time. I just want to use it when I need it.

My husband and I had no children and so we figured that we might as well use the money in the house through a reverse mortgage. My loan officer at Finance of America Reverse was very helpful and was available when I needed to call him. The guidance I received was very good and I was kept knowledgeable on whatever he was doing.

All we had is social security coming in and they don't usually give us very big pay raises there if anything happened. And we needed money for anything. If something happened to either my husband or me, we can't live on social security. We didn't know anything about our mortgage and wanted to see if a reverse mortgage would be something that would benefit us and it definitely sounded like it would. I had gotten a literature from a reverse company that was out in California and I called them. But I wasn't happy with the gentleman that I talked to and I started looking online for reverse mortgages. The gentleman from Finance of America Reverse that answered the phone was very helpful and that's the one that we still are working with today.

We wanted to have some money to travel with and I couldn't see borrowing it so we decided to go with Finance of America reverse mortgage. We got four kids but they're all already setup for themselves and don't really need much from me so I'm going to spend and they can have whatever is left. Finance of America was great in giving out guidance and we did the seminar where we sat and talk to people on the phone for an hour and a half. Our counselor was nice, awesome, great, and answered everything we had questions about. Then, I don't know what happened between us getting the money and Finance of America sending it out but we didn't get it until three days later.

I’ve been checking around different places and I got in touch with Finance of America. I wanted to find out what it consists of and what the procedure was. The rep was very nice and I was always able to get a hold of him. But I didn’t figure it would take that long and be all that complicated as far as them making sure everything was legal. I couldn't get over all these papers I had to sign and I was glad when it was over. And then there was a question about my daughter. I put her on my mortgage title so that if I ever needed to go medicate, the house would be in her name and not mine. It’s going to be transferred over to her after five years. Right now, it's not doing me any good. I've been on it for about six months now, but so far, everything's going the way that they told me it would be.

I chose to get a reverse mortgage because I don’t have any heirs that really matter in my family, so what I have will go to charity.

Finance of America supposedly took over the company I've got my first mortgage with and I thought that was convenient to do the reverse mortgage with them. They had much of the information already on hand. I also liked the people I talked with there so I decided to go with them. Everybody was nice.
