Finance of America Reverse Reviews

The rep from Finance of America explained reverse mortgage a lot better than a lot of other ones. He was upfront with everything so I chose him. He helped me with getting all the paperwork and looking at all my stuff that had to be paid up. The guidance I got from him was excellent. We signed a copy with a notary at my house but I need a copy of that with all of the reverse mortgage signatures on it.

When I chose Finance of America Reverse, I was fortunate to get Chuck ** as my agent. He couldn't have done a better job. I had spoken to other companies and none of them listened to me. Chuck did. He heard what I wanted and he worked to get that for me. It went off without a hitch, I am happy as I can be, and I have referred others to Chuck who are having the same positive experience. What a guy and what a company!! I have only great things to say.

I went online looking at reverse mortgages and somebody called in about 30 seconds. I figured Finance of America was the best option I had. The rep was knowledgeable and friendly and I got along fine with him. The experience was about as smooth as it went.

I've been retired for 30 years and I just wanted more free money. I had a bunch of equity in my home and I figured I might as well use it. The rep I talked to at Finance of America Reverse was excellent. There was no hassle and any pressure.

This is my second reverse mortgage and everything worked out just fine. I dealt with a different person and a different company name before, and this time they changed their name to Finance of America Reverse. I knew what I was doing this time so it's a big difference. Any time I needed to get a hold of somebody, I was always able to do that, which was really nice. I wasn't put on hold all the time and it was quite a pleasant experience. The only thing I didn't realize was that they paid off the first mortgage. That was not explained to me but that's okay.

Somebody told me about Finance of America Reverse and I called them. I needed some things done in the house and that's what I'm gonna use the money for. The people at Finance of America were really wonderful. I even paid the girl that did the closing.

Our experience with Finance of America Reverse was very good. Our contact Toby ** was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us, answering all our questions and concerns for us to complete the application to obtain our Reverse Mortgage.

Finance of America Reverse was recommended to me and the person that I dealt with seemed to know what she was doing. She explained everything about it. She called and checked up on me and just seemed very concerned.

Our experience with Finance of America Reverse, Toby ** and all other associated personnel, was professional, timely and courteous. We are very happy with the results. The briefing we had made the experience one of great satisfaction. Thank you, Toby!

I saw something on reverse mortgages online and checked it out. I got involved with Finance of America and Josh helped me figure out what reverse mortgage is all about. I checked with a few other outfits and thought Finance of America was doing okay so I stuck with them.

I enjoyed working with Mrs. **. She was very understanding in my need to secure my loan and did everything possible to get the information to the necessary departments to reach approval for my loan. I want to thank FAR and everyone that worked on my loan. I am very grateful.

We needed money because my husband had a stroke a year and a half ago, but we couldn't get a regular line of credit. We have money saved for retirement but since we had a lot of equity in our home, we thought reverse mortgage would be a good idea for us. I got a call from Finance of America and the representative sounded very nice, thorough and knowledgeable. The guidance I received was very good too.

We have just started our journey with Finance of America Reverse and are excited about our future. The advisers that represent the company Amber, Esther, and Kevin were very knowledgeable and made the decision easy for us.

Over a year ago my wife and I decided to go for a Reverse Mortgage with RMS Urban. Our basic and weekly contact was Miss Amber **. She took us by the hand, led us in every way, answered all our questions, handled everything we ever needed over the phone or fax. There was not a single time that we could not call and talk to Amber **. If we left a message, she would immediately call us back. She was there for us all the time and has our back since the beginning. We even shared in her coast to coast move and her family.

Jamie, who helped me with the information and application, was extremely helpful and patient. I really appreciated her guidance. Julie, my loan officer, was also very kind and efficient. She did a great job of processing the loan in a timely manner.

My experience with FA Reverse Mortgage was exactly as promised! They were friendly and easy to work with. Most important all my questions were answered quickly and in a manner I could understand. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a reverse mortgage! Was very pleased with the final results and peace of mind that came with it.

Our experience with Finance of America Reverse Co. was such a pleasant experience mostly due to Mr William **. He was so helpful and so kind during this process. We are so grateful for the help we received. His kindness will never be forgotten. Thank you.

They say that customer service is a lost art, but Finance of America has an employee, ELLEN **, that excels in customer service. I started this process over a year ago, and due to extenuating circumstances (broken back and auto accident) I could not complete the transaction. Ellen ** hung in there and all the time was giving me different options. After my recovery, my reverse mortgage went very smoothly - very quickly and I was extremely satisfied.

We had spoken with a few financial companies but Jason ** of Finance of America was the only one who was able to explain the complexities of the process in easy to understand terms. He was always very responsive to us and gave great advice on how to move the process along.

I want to thank each and everyone who helped make this possible. Terri and Julie especially. It was not the smoothest road at all times but you never wavered off course and we got to the end safe and sound which is the goal. I appreciate everyone's attention to detail along with the "care factor" and understanding of the process. Everyone contributed to made this possible. This reverse mortgage will allow my wife and I to attain many of our goals easier and with less financial strain and help us live the "Golden Years" more comfortably. Thanks again. If you need a reference of any kind don't hesitate to ask.

Every step of the final stages Erica was constantly available and monitored the last details with diligence and INSTANT replies! If not for Erica and her team with the last second changes this would not have gone through on time! Erica as was Monica, are both beyond outstanding polished diligent Customer Service. I have already recommended FofAR to others interested!!

This is the second time I did a reverse mortgage with Finance of America, and their guidance was fine. I've always worked for the house and I figured it's time the house works for me. Linda, my loan officer was wonderful. She helped me both times and was very knowledgeable. She returned calls, supplied information, and I'm very pleased.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you Andrew ** for the professional job he did handling my application and subsequent loan paperwork. First when I looked on the internet for a loan, he was very responsive, not pushy and shared a wealth of educational information with me. He was professional and timely. He answered my questions and kept me advised all the way through final stages. Had he not done that there were 15 other companies who wanted my business. Yes I would recommend Finance of America Reverse Mortgage and Andrew **.

I was interested in a reverse mortgage and that started phone calls, and one of those phone calls was with Finance of America. Their rep Barbell was very helpful and she wasn't pushy. She was very upfront about everything, gave me information and allowed me time to think about it, which was what I needed. She told me what a reverse mortgage entailed and if I decided that that's what I wanted to do, she stated what my requirements were and explained that that would have to have a counselling session. At each step that we would get to, she would let me know that I was not obligated to go through with anything if I wasn't comfortable with it.

I applied for a rev. mortgage so I could update my house after many years. I was very pleased with Matt ** in the Indianapolis area offices and his supv. Mike ** for their prompt help. After paperwork completion I learned that some additional settlement costs were added which were not included in the original quote to me. I called and learned that it is their company policy to pay any taxes they are due within 90 of closing. I had to call to find this out. So I called the L.A. tax collectors office for info. and got nowhere after waiting an hour on the phone (typical of big city don't give a hoot bureaucrats!). I went online and saw that the taxes were NOT paid. After waiting to possibly see if the transaction had finally been completed, I sent an email to Matt ** asking for help to clear this up. He apparently forwarded my email to Crystal **, somewhere in their system (?).

We decided that we wanted to apply for a Reverse Mortgage, but we were a little anxious because it was such an important decision... My best friend had used Finance of America Reverse before and even told me who had HELPED her, Nigel **. From the very beginning he answered EVERY question we had, and EVERY answer was RIGHT ON... Nigel walked us through EVERY part, he even gave us his Cell phone number! He would tell us what to expect next and he was RIGHT! I would recommend Nigel to anyone looking to do a Reverse Mortgage. Nowadays it's hard to believe someone, but Nigel was ALWAYS truthful and there for us, like he said he would be... Nigel made it an enjoyable experience for us, so if you are looking for a Reverse Mortgage, this is the place to go and trust.

I don't want to leave my home to my kids so I decided to go with the reverse mortgage. I went through a reverse mortgage before with Celink, then Finance of America Reverse bought the contract. I had good relations with them. They came and visit me first then we did the rest of it by phone. Their loan officer was pretty nice in discussing my options.

My need to take care of taxes and insurance made me choose a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan. I chose Finance of America Reverse due to their availability. They were pleasant and I didn't have any problems with them.

My house is my only asset and I needed to make some kind of arrangements because I wanted to live in the house and I didn't want to sell it. I called my bank and asked if they could give me some references about how to get in touch with someone for the reverse mortgage. I went to several different channels and ended up with Finance of America Reverse. The person that I dealt with, Matthew coordinated everything and was very helpful. There were two different people who came out and did the extensive paperwork with me. They were very nice and very helpful too. It was the same for the person who came to assess the house. I had a very pleasant experience and when I had questions or I was concerned about something, their guys always addressed everything in a very understanding manner. It was a pleasure to deal with Finance of American Reverse from beginning to end.

I was forced into retirement due to the way the economy is and I couldn't make the payments since I'm not working, so I looked into a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan and went with Finance of America Reverse. They were more willing to work with me than the other companies. The people that I talked to and that came here have been really good and very nice to me. So, I was happy with the way things went.

I'm 82 years old and I have a 15-year difference with my wife. I didn't want to leave her strapped for house payments when I'm gone. Finance of America Reverse was advertised on TV and I called their number. I dealt with the young Fellow, Toby. Anytime I had a question, I called him, and he took great care of it. And although it was kind of a headache working my way through the process, I was able to do it. It could have been a lot simpler than what it was, though. But everything went the way Toby said it would.

I wanted to get rid of my mortgage payments which would free up more of my monthly income money. I heard about reverse mortgage before and Finance of America Reverse was in the top 10 rated ones. I gave them a call and they sounded like people I wanted to deal with. The experience went well. I knew mostly what I wanted going into this and I knew I was only limited to very little as far as receiving any cash from it. I was amazed as to how the whole process went through and how everything was taken care of.

I was looking for a reverse mortgage and Nigel found me. It took about a year on and off before I get everything going on my end. Nigel would email me to check in on me. He stood there with me and my family the entire way.

I recently came into a situation where I needed to have some extra money on hand and the reverse mortgage seemed the best way to go about it. I went online, and checked out a bunch of sites and did a comparison. I chose Finance of America Reverse because I liked what the site said about it and after talking to them and the counselors, I decided to go through with it. The loan officer was very friendly, and helpful, and got me through the whole thing pretty smoothly. I was quite satisfied with the service I got. It went faster than I expected. The research I did said it could take as long as 90 days. But apparently, that’s if there are extenuating circumstances involved. I didn’t have any, so from the time I started until I got the money, it was only six weeks. So that was pretty good.

I filled out an information sheet and several people called me back. Ernie from Finance of America was persistent and nice. I taught for 30 plus years, but I had taken out 15 before my husband died, so I didn't have that much. I only had a retirement, but all the years end and I can't make it on what I draw, so I got a reverse mortgage. I usually could get Finance of America's loan officer right away, but he always returned my call if I didn't. The experience went well. It was fairly quick, not like a regular mortgage.

I dealt with several different companies at first then I went with Finance of America Reverse. They were nice, very polite, always friendly, and helped me along the way especially when I was dragging my feet at times. The person whom I did all my dealings with was very knowledgeable and persistent, but she was very good. She knew the answers before I did ask questions. She knew I had to have them.

I was in the market to do the reverse mortgage and I checked a few people on the computer. Finance of America Reverse called me back, plus a couple of other dozen places, and I went with the first one on the top of the list. The house is paid for completely and what I heard about reverse mortgages was that I get whatever equity I have on the house plus some interest on what's left over.

The proposal from Finance of America Reverse was the best one among those from several other companies when I did my research. I spoke to one guy from Finance of America the whole time over a period of six months and he seemed to be knowledgeable. If called him with questions, he'd always call me back and he'd also email back very promptly. I wouldn't even get a call back from other companies that sent proposals within this range for three or four days and sometimes none at all. So not only his proposal was the best one, but his interactions with me and helping me work through my questions was very helpful. My 89-year-old mother is wanting to do the same, so we're looking into this for her as well.

I had some bills that I needed to pay off so I did a reverse mortgage with FAR. I've had an experience with another company that wasn't positive and when I explained to the young lady at FAR what I had experienced, she assured me that that wouldn't happen with her company. She was truthful with me, and it all worked out in my favor. Everything was positive. The team answered my questions and gave me the answers that I needed. All of the answers that I got from them were truthful. I'd recommend Finance of America to somebody else.

We were interested in a reverse mortgage for our retirement so we can live comfortably and Finance of America seemed like the better choice than the others. However, the guy who did the appraisal seemed like he was dragging his feet about things. When we called him, he told us that he then didn't have to come out here. There were things said that he had a negative attitude about. He's working for a reverse mortgage so he needs to show who he's representing. But I am still satisfied with the reverse mortgage because Jayson, our sales representative, represented the company very well. He was very good and helped us out.

I must commend Reverse Mortgage Specialist William ** for his professionalism, knowledge, and helpfulness throughout the reverse mortgage process. Finance of America Reverse offers a superior product and their customer service is beyond reproach. I had nothing but good experiences with every person I dealt with throughout the reverse mortgage process. I would definitely rate this experience a 10!

I've thought about getting a reverse mortgage for a long, long time now. I initially looked at three or four other companies and then settled on Finance of America Reverse. They were great and have been quick to respond.

I picked Finance of America because they were very dedicated. I had debts to pay off and they told me that I can pay back the reverse mortgage without any penalty whatsoever so I decided to take it. So soon I'd pay off these debts and I'd get extra money. The representative was very efficient and he was very insistent that he kept returning my calls and did a good follow-up. They're very informative when we were discussing my option.

We have a home that none of the rest of our family are interested in after we're gone. So, we decided that reverse mortgage would be the way to do it. We had nothing but good relations with FAR reps. They did a very nice job presenting it to us and we're very happy. Everything went along fine and they did everything that they said they would do.

I had a wonderful experience working with Marina **. The whole process was smooth and very easy. I had doubts about doing this, but it wasn't difficult at all. If I had to do this again, I would. I would highly recommend your company to anyone that I knew who wanted to do a reverse mortgage.

Wow, what a great experience with Marina. She started the process by replying to my request on a Sunday. Very unusual. It was up hill from that 1st phone conversation. The process was drawn out but that was not Marina's fault, government works that way. Anytime I had questions she seemed to be always available to answer even though she had numerous other clients to deal with. I will recommend Marina to any person that is interested in a reverse mortgage. Thank you Marina for giving me the pleasure of dealing with a professional in every way.

When my mum passed I wanted my sisters to be able to stay in the home. So I thought reverse mortgage would work fine for them. At first the company was, "Oh this will be easy, good credit score, super equity in the home, should take no time to close..." Well it's going on 3 months now and still nothing. I bent over backwards for this company, paper after paper, explain this, explain that... It went on forever and still going on like I was doing all the work. They were doing very little. It has turned into a nightmare and now I have to go look into another company to try and get this loan closed. They're all gung-ho in the beginning then drop you and let you handle the mess. So now I am in search of another reverse mortgage co. to try and save my mum's house. These people cost me a lot more money than I wanted to waste.

This was an extremely difficult transaction, yet William ** of Finance America Reverse, with tenacity and perseverance got us to closing. He was always on top of the situation and would give me updates as things changed. Thank you, Will and FA Reverse.

I had contacted a different company about reverse mortgage and they would tell me all kinds of strange things. They said that they were gonna have to hold back $30,000 as a setback and it was customary, and I said no. On the other hand, whenever I talked to Finance of America, they told me what I wanted to hear and said there wouldn’t be any set-asides, which was why I went with them.

I had a good experience with Finance of America Reverse. They told me what they expected and I listened to them and they did not urge me to do anything. I talked to their representative named Angela and she was so nice. If she wasn't there to answer my call, she would always call me back. It was pleasant dealing with her.

Working with William was a pleasure. I never thought we could get so much done in such a short time over the phone. Everyone involved in the process was friendly and professional. William led me though the process step by step and things moved very smoothly. Thank you so much.

I got on the computer and asked for information, and Finance of America responded with things about reverse mortgages. At the time, it seemed very helpful for me to be able to have extra money to spend. Everything went real smooth. I had no problems.

Finance of America was great in every way. Scott, the guy that handled my account, couldn’t have been better. He was the guy that first answered the phone andhad all the information I needed. He was very pleasant, informative, quick and sounded very confident so I stayed with him. I had no idea what to do or how to go about any of it, and Scott was right there and went over every step very carefully.

I didn’t have the money to keep up my house payment and so I had to do the work on my house. It was more and more weighing in on my retirement. I decided to call Finance of America Reverse and check them out. The guidance I got from them was good. I thought I’d be dead. I’ve been bad at finance and buying and they helped me get out of it. I’ve recommended them twice.

My house is paid for, I’m alone, and I don’t want to leave an insurance to anybody, so I wanted a reverse mortgage to fix my house up. Among the other companies, Finance of America Reverse was the first one that really explained reverse mortgage to me. However, I’m still confused about one thing. I know interest builds up every year that I have to pay. But I wonder if something happens where my house doesn’t sell for three years after I’ve moved out. They really didn’t tell me what to do. Now I worry about if I have to go into a nursing home, then what? But other than that, I was really surprised that after I signed the papers, two days and it was in my account. Overall, I'm satisfied with it.

I am so happy that I gave Julie a chance to explain everything to me. If I ever had something I did not understand she would explain it to me until I understood. To this date she is still works with me.

So far, my experience with Finance of America has been fragile but it's good. I've chosen a reverse mortgage since it wasn't traditional, and I wanted my mother to have a better quality of life at the end of her years and also consolidate some loans and work on a better management profile of my finance. The people at Finance of America were all good and concerned about me, which was nice. They were compassionate.

We have recently worked with Mr. William ** of Finance of America Reverse concerning the successful and timely closure of a reverse mortgage for our house. Our experience with Mr. ** and Finance of America Reverse has been absolutely superb! Mr. ** offered an extremely high degree of care, diligence, accuracy, timeliness, patience -- and above all, the highest of professionalism in handling our case.

I had a couple of other calls from other debt relief companies but I like the Finance of America Reverse rep I was talking to. We seem to hit it off well and I stuck with them. They were nice people and courteous. The guidance was pretty explanatory and in-depth as far as what's involved and answered all my questions properly. I enjoyed working with them.

We were having trouble paying our house payment and my husband is having financial issues. We wanted to get rid of it so we don't have to worry about it. He's 62 and I'm almost 60 so we went ahead and got a reverse mortgage. Finance of America Reverse were the ones who returned my phone call and talked to me. We understood everything and we felt it was the best option for us. They were very informative and friendly and explained everything and worked with us well. Overall, our experience with them went smoothly and their process was quick.

First off, I looked up reverse mortgage, then Finance of America answered all of my questions when I called and talked to them about it. They were the ones that said they could service me a lot faster than most of the other companies, and were pretty good at handling all my stuff the way I wanted it to be done. They walked me through everything, told me what all I would need to do, and made reverse mortgage simple and plain for me. The ladies that helped me were always calling, seeing how I was doing and responding to me when I had any questions. They were great with me, and even the guys with the RMS were great. Everything went well with me.

I called a couple of different companies and tried to find somebody I was comfortable working with. I was able to get more information from the Finance of America rep that I was looking to clarify who I wanted to go with and some of the others that I had contacted were not giving a good vibe. I thought I had somebody that I was able to trust and communicate with, but there was a lot of screw-ups and I almost backed out of the whole thing. He was not knowledgeable when it came to certain things, especially at the end. I had the loan officer here signing papers and had a question on something they were asking. We called him and he was guessing at answers, and that pissed me off.

I was desperate because my husband left me a bunch of bills when he died and I needed to do something. I chose to get a reverse mortgage because my house is paid for and I could get the money to at least pay off part of the debts he left me. Finance of America Reverse seemed like the best choice but I was mistaken. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

I had already done a reverse mortgage but the housing had gone up and I've done so much on the house. I thought of trying it again and Katie, my loan officer from Finance of America Reverse was nice to me. Once I decided to go with them, I got threatening phone calls saying they weren't good but I disagreed. I trusted Katie's guidance 100%. She's somebody that would talk to me every day, any day, and would also call me back. She was just the best. I'm pleased with the way she did it. She sent me some business cards and I've already passed off three of them. That's how much I like Finance of America Reverse.

My experience with Finance of America Reverse was great. I talked to four different companies but some of them had a lot of bad feedback and my loan officer at Finance of America was the reason I chose them. He was very good and had a nice personality. He stuck with me 100% of the time and everything went very well. Finance of America gave me everything I needed. It was a pleasure doing business with them.

I got the numbers from around four companies, compared them, and picked Finance of America Reverse. Their loan officer was easy to talk to and answered all my questions right away. He didn't try to push me.

I wanted to keep my house. I saw Finance of America Reverse on television and went with them. Their loan rep was good, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Everybody worked well with me and got it done.

Having a reverse mortgage seemed like the most effective use of our funds and gave us something to finish up some things we wanted to do. I had started a program with another company but got tired of their glaze. We couldn’t do this and they couldn’t do that so I contacted Finance of America Reverse and the gentleman was extremely helpful. He was always very polite and very knowledgeable. I was very well taken care of and I've been very pleased.

I looked into the web and saw Finance of America. We got a reverse mortgage because it fit with what we wanted to do and we went with them because of what we read online about what they had to offer. They weren't coercive, and I had a pleasant experience with them. They did what they have to do and I did mine, and we finally settled it out. I went through my counseling and they stayed out of the way. The loan officer was also very nice and good. I would recommend them to a friend.

I needed money at the time and Finance of America Reverse seemed like the easiest way to go which, of course, it wasn’t because it was a lot to do. But it was something I had been thinking about, so I did it. I looked them up and I started talking to them. I liked what they were saying, so I went with them. I didn’t really check on a lot of others. Chris was a wonderful guy. I enjoyed him right from the very beginning. Their reps have all been very good. They were really on top of everything and were really great with me. I’m very impressed with them. They were very kind, considerate and very patient so I would go with them again.

I called to inquire about paying off the loan. After faxing the request I had to call them several times to follow up. After calling and complaining I had to email and request it. It took them more than a week to reply! After sending them the payments with a little extra to cover hidden cost, I just waited. As I am writing this review after 4 weeks I am finding out that they transferred my loan to AM West Mortgage. I called them. Guess what. They cannot find such a loan in the system?! I called back Finance of America Mortgage. They say it might take the company up to 30 days to have my loan in their system. I would not recommend or work with such a company ever again. Very unprofessional and inefficient.

The only way I could retire is to go through reverse mortgage. I went with Finance of America Reverse and I like their rep a lot. She was really good, informative, and anytime I called, she always answered and got back to me. She helped me through the process and I was very happy with that. I was pleased with the whole process. It was an excellent experience.

I recently inherited a house that needed a lot of work and a reverse mortgage was the only way I can afford to do everything I needed to do. I started looking at reviews online and Finance of America had very good reviews, so I went with them. The loan officer was very informative, seemed to really care about my concerns and interests, and answered all of my questions. And even since I closed the loan, I've talked to him a couple of times and he’d just call to see how things are going.

I was really confused with the rep because she wasn’t very clear and then the person that talks to the counselors sounded very frustrated when I was asking questions because I was completely in the dark as to what a reverse mortgage is. They weren't patient to break down what we do and don’t do and what to expect. They need to be more specific and more detailed as to what reverse means. I'm still not clear on it. All we know is that we don’t make a payment, but now I'm getting statements about interest and I didn’t know what those meant. I also didn’t know that it will depend on the credit score if they'd take you as a client because I was trying to refer somebody and if you don't have a good or decent credit, Finance of America doesn’t want to work with you.

I chose reverse mortgage for my elderly mother and Finance of America Reverse was very cooperative and eager to ensure the transaction went through. I had dealt with another company prior to them and decided to stay with Finance of America as I thought they were very helpful and truthful. I found the person I worked with to be easy to deal with. It was a good experience all the way around.

I got a reverse mortgage so I can make my monthly payment. Finance of America Reverse was the first one to return my call and I liked the way they explained things to me. The only problem was it took a very, very long time and I was disappointed. They reached me in February and the mortgage didn't go through until July.

I'm 90 years old and I want to leave the kids some money if something happens to me and use some of it myself. My brother used Finance of America Reverse before and I like the system they got. They did a good job in helping me with my reverse mortgage decision.

My mom ran out of retirement funds. We couldn't meet the mortgage payments. We needed to get that extra $1500 a month, and we didn't have it so all of a sudden, foreclosure was knocking on our door. We should have done the reverse mortgage four years ago when we first heard about Finance of America Reverse. Although I considered four other companies, I had a good experience with Finance of America's professionalism, personal contact, follow-up, handwritten or typed messages, and little old-fashioned things like that which made me feel like this company's going to be around and that they know what they're doing. When I came back to Finance of America four years later, here they still are, and it was great.

I was trying to find a way of staying in this home for a little longer time. My wife is retiring next year and I've been retired for two years now, so I was trying to evaluate my budget and see what Finance of America had to offer. I talked to six companies and I was lucky enough to get a representative who was first class at Finance of America. She was very top of the line, helped me throughout the whole procedure and answered all my questions. We went through a fairly detailed study with the spreadsheet, which was great and very user-friendly. I was sent all the tables and everything that I asked for they had and they responded within a few hours. I thought I can't go wrong with them.

My husband and I are both retired and it's so hard for us to cope up. The Social Security is not enough. My husband did a research on reverse mortgages and he chose five of them, but in his research he found out that the reverse mortgage we've chosen with Finance of America Reverse was the best. Our loan officer was great and did an excellent job. He was patient and knew what he was doing. Besides the excellent customer service, Finance of America gave us ample materials and we read it, we researched and we're happy about it. I would recommend them.

I'm 82 and reverse mortgage is the best option for me because I don't want to move nor sell the house. So, it works out the best to have a little cash for the kids when I go. Carol, a broker in California, was familiar with Finance of America Reverse and with the reverse mortgage I had before, and she recommended them. She was real nice. There was all that paperwork, but it's a necessary evil. She was the go-between in all of that paperwork. The guidance that I got was all good. They laid out all the information in front of me and we discussed everything before I decided. The other reverse mortgage company I had was pretty good too, but Finance of America Reverse didn't charge for the closing cost.

Finance of America Reverse sent me a letter. They said that I'd end up getting around $22000 for my house and that sounds pretty good. They sent this guy over and he went through the yard and the house. He came back and he said it was 24. It doesn't come to what the other guy was working with. So I told my wife I should sell. I tried selling this house, at first we weren't happy 'cause we had just painted it. We also converted the garage into a second bedroom and we had put stairs going up the attic and it has windows on each side in two rooms up there. It's about almost 40 years old. I cut out part of it and built an eight foot fence out over there. We decorated the whole yard. My wife worked on this for about two months.

I wanted to keep our savings that we had but still had money available. We were also wanting to do some remodeling so we decided a reverse mortgage was the best way to do it. Finance of America Reverse seemed a fair deal so we did it with them and they gave us adequate money. We were pleased with them.

I took out a line of credit reverse mortgage from Finance of America so that if we needed it we could get it. It made sense as a safety blanket for our retirement. They'd cost me just the same as several other companies that I I talked to, but I like what I heard from their representative. They were pleasant, quick, accurate and answered all of my questions. The guidance I received was good and the closing was reasonably fast, even though there was a heck of a lot of documents to sign.

I received a phone call from one of Finance of America Reverse’s agents who said that he was working under the agent who had gotten us the reverse mortgage the first time around and this gentleman said the property values in our area had increased considerably and would we consider a new reverse mortgage. My husband had a stroke eight years ago and we've been having trouble making ends meet. The agent’s figures indicated as if we got an appraisal that was of a considerable value that we could pick up that extra amount of money that we needed for medical tests and so we went ahead and did it.

We got hit hard with what happened in '08-'09 and our 401(k) weren't where I wanted them to be so we had to come up with an alternative way to come up with the finances we needed to retire. I looked at several companies and liked Finance of America who wouldn't sell my mortgage off to someone else after completing the transaction. Their rates were attractive, too, and I had a really good rapport with John who was my main contact with the company. He was very informative and only called me back when necessary. He handled his business very well.

I felt that Ms. Julie ** was very knowledgeable about the reverse mortgage. She immediately put me at ease because I didn't know anything in the beginning of the journey. She was always available to answer my many questions, everything was done in an expeditious manner. I am very satisfied with the whole process.

I arranged a reverse mortgage with Finance of America for my sister. She lives on a very small income and not able to make it from month to month. She also doesn't make payments on the house she's living in, so we felt that the reverse mortgage was a good option for her. It was recommended to me by my brother-in-law and sister-in-law who live in Houston. I did most of the corresponding. I found out about the steps that have to be taken to get a reverse mortgage. I got the application information online and made an appointment with the counselor. Then I pretty much conferred with my sister over all the decisions that were made. The refinance options were very well explained and everything was done in a timely manner. They were upfront and clear about what our options would be for getting money back. The whole experience was very painless.

I've been looking at several things to do and a way to reduce my mortgage and Finance of America Reverse came up. I had a couple of companies call me but I like the FAR woman I worked with and their interest rate was lower than the others. The only thing I would suggest is that they should have a way of letting us know if they had reported to providers. Since I had no way of knowing whether or not they were going to tell my insurance company and also tell county recorder that they should start sending bills to me, I had to go ahead and look that up. I'm not sure a lot of people would. I found that they had not done that and that’s important because one of the requirements is that I pay the taxes and insurance myself.

I had some financial problems and I needed to do a reverse mortgage to pay them off. When I investigated Finance of America Reverse, they explained everything to me and I was well treated. The loan officer was absolutely great. He was really informative and kept me up to date. I would recommend them to anybody.

We have a business and we wanted help finding some other business and doing some extra things to the house. With a reverse mortgage, we didn't have a monthly payment. If we wanted to pay $200 or a thousand dollars in one month, we could do that unlike with a regular mortgage. A lady at my church told me about Finance of America Reverse. Their staff were really good. They called a lot and they made sure everything was done. They helped me to get it go through really fast and they talked me through everything. That was really nice and the process was really easy. They worked really well with me so I liked it.

I wanted a better quality of life so I decided to do a reverse mortgage. I went with Finance of America Reverse because they were mentioned the most. I saw them on TV and they said they would send me a video which I watched with my wife. It showed me everything I wanted to know and I even passed it on to a friend. My loan officer, Ellen, was great. She kept me up and did everything. She screened me on everything that was going to happen, and even right before we got it, she called and re-screened me again. We’ve been on it a couple of months and it’s nice not to have big debt mortgage payments. It’s working out real fine.

Our bills got ahead of us and we were in dire need of some money. We went with Finance of America Reverse and our loan officer was pretty thorough and a good guy to talk to. He explained things well. We had a good experience and would recommend them to anyone.

I had a few large credit card debts and a bank line of credit, so I wanted to get rid of all those debts to lower my monthly bills. The loan officer from Finance of America Reverse always responded to my calls and kept me informed of everything. The guidance was great, there was nothing that I didn't understand. He explained the refinance options very clearly, and answered any questions I had. Everything was very good, went smooth as far as I was concerned, and I was impressed by that.

We needed some money and got information from two companies. After contacting Finance of America Reverse, we felt like we weren't gonna qualify for a loan but the guy who worked there didn't let it rest. He called, asked us a bunch of questions, and we told him the problems. He said he would find ways to fix them if he could and he did. He finally got it to where we did qualify for the loan.

I live in an area that is growing and I wanted to have new kitchen and baths in the house, and Mark of Finance of America Reverse gave me good information and was very helpful. He was very attentive, gave me all the answers I needed, and walked me through my options. It's done and I was satisfied.

With reverse mortgage, it would be easier for me to handle my income which wasn't being stretched right. I was given a list of different companies that could help me with this, and I called until I got the one that I wanted, which was Finance of America Reverse. I've had a wonderful experience with them. The loan officer, Kevin, was excellent. When I worked years ago, I was a loan officer myself. He performed the way I liked to and treated his customers the way I did. He listened to my wants, needs, and concerns. When he said he was going to call me, he did so. He never said he was going to do something, and then I'd have to wait for days. He explained everything thoroughly to me. He went out of his way and never rushed me, whatever time it took for our conversations. He arranged everything so that I didn't have to leave the house. He had the appraiser and the notary come here. He was wonderful.

I turned 70, have no children, and am a widow. I've owned a condo at the beach with three other girls for 14 years and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanted my own place so I can go down there for more than one week a month. So I went online and checked several different reverse mortgage companies and contacted them and read reviews. I liked the reviews on Finance of America. When I talked to Matt, he really impressed me as being somebody that would help me through it and really was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me over and over again to make sure I understood. He was absolutely awesome. Whenever I called him, he'd call me back within the hour. I just couldn't ask for anybody to be more Johnny-on-the-spot. He didn't push me into it. He wanted me to know all the pros and cons. Finance of America should be very proud to have him working them. I'm very happy. I hope Finance of America won't disappoint me in the near future.

My son-in-law helped me with my reverse mortgage which was the best action I could think of at that time. We decided to get with Finance of America Reverse and their agent, Crystal, did a good job in taking care of everything. She gave good guidance and I and my son-in-law who was involved in helping me to sort it out were able to follow it. They work with me and I work with them, and I hope it will stay like that. I also hope it will work out for the best for me for the rest of my life, as long as I’m with them.

I needed some things done in my house and my social security check wasn’t going to help me get it done. I didn’t know that previously I had applied in 2014 with Finance of America Reverse, but they were under a different name. I had already compared them with other companies before and they said they had changed some of the programs so I was interested to see what those changes were. Both the loan officers I worked with were professional and any questions I had, I was able to call them to assist me. We really enjoyed working with the finance coordinator, Jason. There was Megan, too, and the two of them made the experience real easy and understandable. The company did what they could as far as what the appraiser said, so we made the best of it.

Finance of America's rates were better compared with other places, and they have excellent service. They worked in my favor, my behalf. They stayed on top of it. There were different court proceedings that I had to attend that delayed a lot of the closing and they were right on that. They just walked me through it to the very end and they act in my behalf. They wanted to put the loan together for me and they made sure that they did that. They conquered what they were after and they did an excellent job.

I hit it off with the girl from Finance of America that called me. We talked about my situation financially, family, where we lived and hobbies. She's about the same as age as me, and answered all my questions. She convinced me to go with them. I didn't really know that much about reverse mortgage and she explained it to me in a very easy way to understand. Overall, they're very easy to work with and it didn't take much time. They would set everything up, including the meetings with the notary. And any paperwork that had to be done was easy to do.

This gives me the opportunity to express our appreciation on how Toby ** took us through the reverse mortgage. Could not of asked for anyone more qualified person. He was there for us through each step of the process and was available to us when we needed him. We had a great experience. Very knowledgeable about reverse mortgages.

We were interested in doing a reverse mortgage. I've been paying on mortgages for over 30 years and I'm tired of it. This way, I can pay off the mortgage, pay off a few more bills and have a little extra money available if we needed it. It took time for us to get the appraiser from Finance of America over here but once we did that, everything went along. I felt comfortable doing it. The rep that I had contact with was a very nice guy. He helped me as much as possible, and kept me informed. And anytime I have any questions, I can always call him back. So we were very happy.

I recently paid off my house. I then have to figure out what I am going to do relative to the future, and reverse mortgages were something I wanted to look at. When I finally decided that a reverse mortgage would work for me, I did a little goofing around and came across Finance of America Reverse and began with my inquiries. In fact, I talked to a couple of other companies, and I was happy with Casey, the representative of Finance of America and the promptness of their responses as compared to the others. I was comfortable with what Finance of America was offering, with the material that they sent me, and with the way that Casey explained everything from her vantage point. We went through the whole thing, and as a matter of fact, we had nice discussions that didn't necessarily apply to reverse mortgages. She dealt with me as a normal person.

I felt that the reverse mortgage was the best thing I could do with my house is. I don’t know what other options I would have had unless to sell my place outright and this way I could stay here as long as I live and not worry about paying house notes, just keep up the insurance and taxes. I got along real good with their loan officer. He kept me up-to-date on stuff and back and forth when everything was going, we talked real quite often and there were things I need to get for them. He was very patient, helpful, and he explained to me the best way to do it. He made me understand the retirement options and guided me on my mortgage decision. Overall, I'm satisfied with Finance of America Reverse.

We made a mistake of paying cash for our house and it's a lot of equity wasted so we decided to get some of our equity back. My son-in-law works for Finance of America Reverse and he got all the information for us instead of others so it was convenient. The loan officer's fine but somebody back there jacked his room for nine months. Part of it is we live on an island in State of Washington and everybody on the island is on Wills. For some reason somebody took a disliking to Wills and we kept getting more and more paperwork we need to fill out. It was stupid taking $75,000 off a $700,000 home.

First time I talked to William from Finance of America, it was like I've known him all my life. He's the only person I ever talked to. He was absolutely the most professional, caring and kind person I could give a recommendation for. And we've become friends since then. The guidance that was given to me was absolutely the best I've ever had.

Having a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan was just a way to get money to do simple repairs and maybe take a trip. The one that I talked to from Finance of America Reverse seemed to be very well-versed on what they were all about, talked to me in simple language and didn't get into a lot of itty-bitty details right off the bat so I felt more comfortable going with them. Their loan officer was very open and answered all my questions right away, didn’t hem and haw around about it. If I had any questions, I'd call him. Even up to this day, if I have some questions, I'd still call him and I'm sure he would answer. It was a nice relationship.

We didn't have any other options, so we went with a reverse mortgage for our retirement plan. Finance of America has a good program and they discussed the options to us really well. Although we had a few little hiccups, we got them worked out and it went the way it was supposed to.

I was at my wit's end trying to save my property and along with many other things, such as losing one’s job quite unexpectedly and trying all sorts of other possible ways to make restitution for taxes and the reverse mortgage was what precipitated it. The primary person that I started out with, I call my representative and guardian angel, was Jessie. He has been absolutely wonderful and left no stone unturned when it came to making the possibility of the reverse mortgage going through. The other gal that he worked with in the early stages was Jasmine and phenomenal. Then I’ve had several calls with a Natasha who made sure that everything was fine.

I want to get rid of my house payment so I have more money to spend right now. I did a lot of research and made my mind up in going with Finance of America Reverse. My experience was cut and dry. Everything went really fast and on time. I was kept well informed and they gave me the best rates. The loan officer was excellent, thorough, courteous and made very fast return calls. She knew up front that I was getting poor quotes than what I was looking for and she gave me exactly what I was looking for. I knew what I was doing which made her job easy also. She did an excellent job and I’ve already recommended her to other people.

I was afraid that the interest rates would increase and lots of people said they’re going to. I would have a tough time making my payments so I got a reverse mortgage. I looked up reverse mortgages on the internet, got all of their documents, carefully checked them, and Finance of America Reverse was the best one. I got them and they gave me excellent guidance.

I had a few problems with my credit then and getting a reverse mortgage seemed like a way to get it taken care of without getting in and out of serious trouble. I applied at every place but it didn't go through. Two years ago, someone told me that Finance of America could help me get it through. Then I was turned down by another company so I didn't take it to them. Later on, I called Finance of America and the people got on it and took care of my application right away. They came through with what they said they would do. They took care of it and notified me when there were some changes and I try to supply whatever they needed. I'm satisfied with it.

I needed to do some repairs in my home and I’ve submitted an application with Finance of America. That was a year before last and they were gonna give me very little, so I said, "This is a joke. Forget it. I don’t want to go back to you guys.” Then this year, it was different and the gentleman who helped me was very good and helpful. The guidance I received was very good and we communicated back and forth on text messages, email, and phone calls. I was happy with them. Very nice, professional people to work with.

I had to pay off what I owe and did it by using a reverse mortgage. The two girl reps from Finance of America treated me well and presented the options the way they were supposed to. The company did very well.

I needed some home improvement projects done, but I was running out of funds and I found out that I had more money going out than coming in. So at that time, the reverse mortgage seemed like the best option for me. Also, I feel that there's a better protection with a large company compared to a smaller one that can go out of business. So I went with Finance of America, and they've been very good for the most part. They were persistent but not pushy, and I found them helpful. They'd get back to me on a timely basis and answer my questions. The counselor was very professional and informative. I've read all the information ahead of time so it was easy for me to follow her.

While I was checking out a bunch of companies I found on the internet, several called me back but were concerned about the problems that I might have. Josh, the rep from Finance of America Reverse was one of the other ones who was willing to help and told me that he will take care of whatever problem I had and will deal with it. In the end, the other problem really didn’t matter. However, I scheduled a required class and it was a waste of time and money, but I understand that people need to understand what they're getting into. Despite that, I would recommend Finance of America to someone who would ask me about it.

I first went to One Reverse Mortgage, but they did not keep the service. They would transfer or sell the services to somebody else, and I didn't like that. So I went online and looked up some of the other companies, until I went with Finance of America, and my experience with them was very good. The representative answered all my questions, and if I needed some supplementary information, she'd send it to me. The guidance I received was pretty good. In other words, I was really sold on the idea that looking for a reverse mortgage for my particular situation was what I needed. My overall appreciation of them was very good.

Toby ** was my contact for getting my reverse mortgage. He helped me get the documents I needed to complete the deal in a timely manner. The whole process took less than a month.

A reverse mortgage was the best option for me since I had so much equity into my house and didn't know what I would need in the future. So, I was interested in a line of credit. I liked the loan originator that I was talking to at Finance of America Reverse. He seemed to be upfront. I had checked out different companies and felt more comfortable with them. My loan officer stayed in touch. If I had a question, he got the answer for me. There wasn't any high pressure to complete the loan if I didn't want to. These loans are very complicated. I have an advantage, having been a mortgage originator myself and into real estate before. But the average persons don't have a clue what they're doing with these loans, and these should be explained to them better. Everybody at Finance of America were very nice and efficient. I had a good experience with them.

I'm turning 75 and still work. I want to live a little comfortable when I retire. However, I didn't know where else to turn to. Then my family told me about Quicken Loans. I went there and put my name and address, then seconds later, I got calls. I got someone from Finance of America and I felt that I could trust this person. He wasn't pushy and it also felt that he was telling me the truth. He sent me the paperwork so I could look over and he told me that it was all up to me. I still have the paperwork and I gave him all the information and they called me back and forth and how was I doing.

We had some business debts and some household things that needed to be done, and we needed the money to do that. We also decided to try to keep our house going until maybe in a couple of years. We’d like to sell it but it needs to be in good condition before we sell it so we used Finance of America Reverse. They were great and we’ve been very pleased with them. Their rep was wonderful and answered all our questions. When we would ask her about things, she was quick to get back to us.

I received fine guidance from Finance of America Reverse. My talks with the loan officer were nice, convenient and made sense. I was not having enough spending money at the end of each month but I got a big lump of money and everything worked out really well with them.

Got a reverse mortgage because I needed more money than what my social security would bring me. If I had to redo the kitchen, the bathroom, and other things that I know coming up in the future, I won’t have the means. That's when Finance of America Reverse gave me a call and their rep explained things that I needed to learn about reverse mortgage and it was very clear. I was surprised that there was a quick follow-up by the telephone. The lady who also worked with them came within a couple of days to ask me some questions and for me to fill in some more forms. She had been very helpful and I appreciate that. Finance of America Reverse has done a very good job.

I first did some searching on the internet and then several companies started calling. I spoke to about four companies but I decided if I was going to do the reverse mortgage I would rather do it with an agency or company in my own state. So I dealt with Finance of America near Indianapolis and they're quite nice. It went fairly smooth and I'm getting a statement each month.

In applying for a reverse mortgage, Joseph **/FAR assisted and worked non-stop until everything was completed as planned. There was a period when Mr. ** was out of the office but maintained full contact at all times. He knows his business, is personable and trustworthy in all he projected. It was a pleasure working with him and FAR.

My retirement income does not meet my needs so I chose a reverse mortgage as part of my retirement plan. I've spoken with so many people at Finance of America Reverse and my experience was pretty positive. However, it was kind of a lengthy process and it got a little frustrating at times. But overall, it was satisfactory.

I like the dealing with the person from Finance of America Reverse who I was assigned to or who I talked with. It was overall a pleasant experience with the communication with her and what was said was followed up with whatever I needed or she would return calls. I'm glad that I did proceed through having a reverse mortgage put in place on my own.

I needed to get a reverse mortgage and my financial advisor recommended Finance of America Reverse. It was an easy process. We went to the telephone counseling then they explained the process for a smaller region and we dealt with the Finance America on a one-to-one basis. They worked with us and did a good job. The young man who handled it for us did a great job and we're very pleased.

Reverse mortgage is part of my retirement plan. I have more medical bills than I can deal with. I've spoken to a different company but went with FA because of the person I spoke to on the phone. She's the loan officer and was real nice and very willing to answer questions. I didn't get this nice warm, fuzzy feeling from the other person. However, I got the impression that FA was going to service the loan as well, and apparently it's not. I'm very uncomfortable when things change between the entity that gives the loan and the entity that services the loan because I've been badly treated by a loan servicer in the past. When a company turns the money over to a servicer, you just don't know what you're going to get. I need to give it a longer chance to see what's going on, but I was very disconcerted by the letter I was sent and the hoops I was put up with. I was not happy with that.

My wife is 82 years old and has Parkinson's disease. I didn't know how much medical bills we're gonna end up with but I knew that $700 a month off of paying Chase Bank, which I always hated doing anyway, would really help out. So I did a reverse mortgage plan with Finance America Reverse. I'm trying to set aside some of that every month for taxes. As long as I can keep those things going, I think everything should work out fine. Reverse mortgages are not for everybody, but I think it was just what we needed.

One of the underwriters wanted me to disconnect my sink and take out the gas stove in the cellar which bothered me because it was all money spent for nothing. However, for some reason, I took a liking to the guy from Finance of America Reverse that answered the phone because he was helpful. I decided to stick with this guy because he knows what he's doing, though it always takes a long time, but it went through, so the experience was alright.

I got myself in a pinch and I've lost my wife and lost a lot of income. I continued to live on a same plan. It looked to me like getting a reverse mortgage was a wise move, instead of just borrowing more money that I have turnaround pay for it. This way I could pay off most of my debt and get down where I'm comfortable with my income. Finance of America Reverse was the first to call me. I was very impressed with the young man, Thompson, with as much as anything they have. And so that's why I went serious with one other rep, and then I talked to a couple of others. But they didn't turn me on at all, so I went back to Thompson. Everything is fine to date. The bill is paid off. But the only thing that bothers me a little bit is I had some repair work to be done, minor stuff. I told them upfront that I do my own work. But I was not going to do it in the heat of summer, and that was okay. I'll probably get it done yet this month because it's finally cooling off.

After recently closing on Reverse Mortgage with Finance of America, I would like to thank our representative, Jamie **. She is the Ultimate Professional, spent many hours on the phone with me answering endless questions with patience & impressive knowledge! She is absolutely the reason we chose Finance of America. Just cannot say enough about how much her true interest & concern for our particular situation helped to walk us through the process from start to finish. Thank you so much, Jamie for everything you did to help us! I will always consider you a true friend!!

We had two issues. First was our limited income, because the mortgage was too high for us at this age. Second was the fact that I had a lien for an IRS, that I wanted to do a reverse mortgage to pay both of them off so I could get them off my credit record. I went through bankruptcy in 2003 and even though we kept the house, I still finance it. I put on my credit as a lien, so I wanted both of the liens off my credit report. Nobody bothered to call me back, and then Finance of America Reverse called me.

Finance of America lets me make up my own mind. They said that they couldn’t give me any advice or show me what to do so I had to do it on my own. They gave me the summary of the options, but they couldn’t say which one was best. I thought it ended up well and as it went along they kept calling me and telling me what was to be next. They were good and they kept in touch as long as it was necessary.

I wanted to have a little more money every month by not having to pay a mortgage every month. The Finance of America Reverse rep was so helpful all the way through. He was wonderful. Everything went very smoothly and I never had any problems with any phase of it. I would recommend them to anyone since I've really had a good experience.

Getting a reverse mortgage seemed to be the best option at the time. Everything went fine with Finance of America Reverse and Scott, the loan officer, did a good job.

I didn’t have any money, so I looked into reverse mortgage and went with Finance of America. My loan officer was nice to deal with. My experience with them has been all right.

I was not aware that there is an amount of money that I had to pay the government, and I cut myself short on money that I might need for extra things. I then looked into reverse mortgage and went with Finance of America. My loan officer, Nigel, was excellent. He called me often and very promptly. When I called him, he called me right back. He made the process go extremely well and very smoothly. They came to me in the hospital, and I signed the papers while I was there. They’re good. My experience has been fantastic.

Finance of America Reverse was recommended to me. They're a loan company and a reverse mortgage looked pretty good. My loan officer followed up well on everything. In his type of work, he's probably the best that I've ever had for anything.

When I checked Finance of America Reverse online, they were the only one that didn’t have a lot of negative feedback. The rep I spoke to was polite and straight to the facts. The guy they sent out to do the paperwork and everything was so knowledgeable because he had a real estate background. He explained a lot of things to us that even the other guy didn’t. He told us we were getting a good deal. And for him to say that when he worked with all of them, not just the one, was a good thing. It was a delightfully complete experience.

I’ve been retired for three years and I didn’t want to continue the rest of my retirement living the way I was. So I started looking into reverse mortgage and seen who I could deal with. I started dealing with somebody else and decided shortly that I should get behind Finance of America. There was good communication with my loan officer. He answered emails, left a message and called me back right away which is one of the reasons why I didn’t do it with somebody else. Others will get back to me two days later, so I don’t do business with them. I’m completely and totally glad I did it with Finance of America Reverse. I've recommended them.

We lost a lot of money in retirement funds when the stock market crashed so we decided to do a reverse mortgage, and our experience with Finance of America went well. Kevin, the loan officer, did a good job and we didn't have any kind of problems. I was really satisfied.

It was really helpful working with Finance of America Reverse. My wife does a lot of research on things and they have the top stars. We got tied up a couple of times. One was on the appraisal, but then the appraisal people were really nice. They came out and acted out really quick. Overall, although it started a little slow in a couple of spots, it was a really good experience.

I was on a fixed income and having a reverse mortgage was the only thing that was gonna help me get above of where I was at in order to be able to fix my house again. Finance of America gave me the best deal and I really liked Chris, the guy who worked with me, since he's awesome. I’m still receiving guidance and he calls me once in a while to see how things are going. I’m even supposed to be talking to him later today because I got my first statement in the mail. He wants to review that with me and tell me the ins and outs and what not to do, so he’s cool.

My father did a reverse mortgage before and made out really well. This was during the Clinton days and everything was booming. My brother who was a financial advisor was helping him out. 15 years later, my brother said to him, “Hey, look at you. You’re starting to run low on money here with the reverse mortgage. Let’s go back in and see if we could refinance.” They went back in and gave him the same amount of money that he originally got for the 15 years. He got a whole new 15-year policy at the same money because the value of his house has gone up that much because things were so good in the day. But that was only like a one-time shot. Now, the guy I worked with from Finance of America Reverse told me that I could do the same thing. Any year things look good, we could refinance and maybe get more money in there.

I looked into a reverse mortgage because I want to retire. I have social security and a small retirement from the school, but it’s not going to be enough to live on, especially with the utility bills. So, not having a house payment meant so much, since every month now, I’m putting money back into my savings from my insurance and taxes, and it still gives me over $200 to have on my to-do list. My experience with Finance of America has been excellent. Mark, the young man that led me to it, was excellent in every way all the time and answered all my questions every time I called him. He might have gotten sick of the telephone calls, but he never acted like it.

My house was paid off and I wanted the money for my wife so she could pay the taxes in case something happened to me. The Finance of America Reverse loan officer seemed to know what he’s talking about. I knew when I paid the house off and that I wanted to go with the reverse mortgage so he didn’t have to convince me. They just took care of what I needed. So far it’s been exactly what they said it would be and we haven’t drawn anything out but they're sending me a bill saying how much I had in there. They are very nice about it. I had a hospital stay-in and have put them on hold for a while for about 15 days or so. They’ve done very well and the only thing that I requested is the amount that I asked for upfront. It was there when they told me it’d be there so I’m really satisfied.
