About Me
Jim Warns has been in the mortgage industry for more than 30 years. He owned his own mortgage brokerage company for 10 years before making the decision to focus exclusively on reverse mortgages in 2007.
Jim was originating loans through Retirement Funding Solutions (RFS) when it was acquired by Mutual of Omaha in 2018. While RFS still functions as DBA, in 2019, the brand transitioned to Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. (Mutual of Omaha Reverse Mortgage officially operates under the Mutual of Omaha Mortgage name.)
As a specialist in the field, Jim collaborates with financial advisors, elder law and estate planning attorneys, and other professionals with the goal of exploring how to use housing wealth proactively as part of the retirement planning process.
Jim gives Continuing Education (CE) presentations on reverse mortgages to financial planners as well as Virginia insurance agents and attorneys.
