Why a Reverse Mortgage

Keep Your Retirement Dreams Alive

A HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) is a federally insured loan designed for homeowners 62+ — turning the equity you've earned into financial freedom.

Stay in the Home You Love

You remain the owner and your name stays on the deed. Live in your home for life while meeting basic loan obligations.**

Eliminate Monthly Payments

Pay off your existing mortgage and stop making monthly principal-and-interest payments — freeing up cash flow every month.**

Tax-Free Cash, Your Way

Receive proceeds as a lump sum, monthly payments, a line of credit, or a combination — proceeds are not taxed as income.†

Federally Insured Protection

HECM loans are insured by the FHA. You (or your heirs) will never owe more than the home is worth when the loan is repaid.

Protect Your Other Savings

Use home equity strategically so your 401(k), IRA, and investments can stay invested and keep working for you.

Guidance You Can Trust

Our licensed advisors walk you through every step — with independent HUD-approved counseling required before any decision.

Simple & Guided

How It Works

From first question to funded loan, most families close in about 26 days.

Common Questions

Reverse Mortgage FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners.

Will the bank own my home?
No. This is the most common misconception. With a reverse mortgage, you remain the owner and your name stays on the deed — just like with a traditional mortgage. The loan is simply secured by the home.
Who qualifies for a reverse mortgage?
Generally: at least one homeowner is 62 or older, the home is your primary residence, and you have sufficient equity (usually 50%+). Condos, townhomes, and most single-family homes qualify.
Are the proceeds really tax-free?
Yes. Reverse mortgage proceeds are loan advances, not income, so they are not subject to income tax. Consult your tax advisor about your specific situation.†
What do I still have to pay for?
You must continue to pay property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and any HOA fees, and maintain the home as your primary residence. No monthly mortgage payments are required.**
What happens to my heirs?
Your heirs can keep the home by repaying the loan balance, or sell it and keep any remaining equity. Because HECMs are federally insured and non-recourse, heirs never owe more than the home's value.
How much does the estimate cost?
Nothing. Your personalized estimate is 100% free, takes under a minute, and comes with no commitment or obligation of any kind.
