Deciding to venture into a reverse mortgage is a major decision. When choosing whether or not one is right for you, qualified advice is invaluable; so too is selecting a loan originator who is well versed in all aspects of reverse mortgages.

A loan originator must adhere to strict ethical conduct. They must inform you of all the terms and conditions of the loan clearly and with the utmost respect of your needs and goals. They must not pressure you or steer you into another type of loan, such as an annuity, that might not be in your best interest. If you sense you are being pressured, feel free to shop around. It is your decision; only you can decide what is right for you.

Knowledge is power. Read up on reverse mortgages before consulting with a loan originator. This will not only save time, but could help you get a better deal. A good place to start is our Top 10 Reverse Mortgage Questions. We’ve also provided a list of Reverse Mortgage Resources.
