Using home equity to help you plan for the future is something often overlooked by Married couples, individuals, real estate professionals and wealth managers alike. I’m big on planning, and this is one planning tool you really should consider. If you or you’re client is 62 or older, I can show you how to unlock a tool box that will allow you to live comfortably in retirement, sell more homes, higher value homes and at the same time allow your client to retain a larger portion of their departure home’s equity. Recent changes in the FHA backed “HCEM” reverse mortgage program make it even more advantageous to purchase a new home with a HECM reverse mortgage (H4P). Whether you or your client is “downsizing” or “upsizing” this amazing tool may quickly qualify your buyers for their dream home! Contact me today to hear how a reverse mortgage can help your client use home equity to improve the quality of life. As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA). I am a member of a network of senior service providers encompassing all areas of senior need and support.
