About Me
Welcome!
Hello! I’m Bill Barnett, and I serve as a Reverse Mortgage Loan Officer with Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. With a career spanning over two decades in this field, I’ve dedicated myself to helping seniors achieve a more comfortable and financially secure retirement.
My Passion for Education
One aspect of my job is doing educational presentations about reverse mortgages. Whether it’s with financial planners, realtors, or small groups, it’s always rewarding. I often hear people say, “I had no idea a Reverse Mortgage could be used in that way!”
It’s these moments that fuel my passion for what I do, making complex financial concepts understandable and accessible.
Personal Interests
When I’m not working, I indulge in my need for speed at High Planes Raceway in Deer Trail, Colorado, and Pueblo Motorsports Park in Pueblo, Colorado, where road racing lets me experience the thrill in a controlled environment.
Additionally, I enjoy exploring the breathtaking Colorado Rocky Mountains on my motorcycle, a yearly tradition that never ceases to amaze me with its beauty.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve also been deeply involved in martial arts, which is a fantastic way to stay flexible and strong. Regular workouts at the gym complement my active lifestyle, ensuring I stay in top shape both physically and mentally.
Community Involvement
I am actively involved in my community through my role on the security team at Flatirons Community Church. In today’s world, providing a safe place for worship is not just a responsibility but a calling I take to heart.
Professional Focus
Since closing my first Reverse Mortgage in 2001, I have seen firsthand how this financial tool can alleviate many of the worries associated with retirement planning. Today’s reverse mortgages are government-insured with added safeguards to protect seniors and their heirs, improving cash flow and financial independence.
I exclusively work with financial planners and realtors to provide exceptional, referral-based customer service. I specialize in utilizing the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) to enhance seniors’ financial success during their retirement years. This might mean helping them afford medical expenses, long-term care policies, or even life insurance to benefit their estates.
Why Reverse Mortgages?
The financial landscape, especially for retirees, has grown increasingly complex with changes in fiduciary rules, tax laws, and the reverse mortgage program itself. Understanding these changes and the strategic use of reverse mortgages can greatly increase the longevity of retirement funds and the legacy seniors wish to leave behind.
