Actual reverse mortgage borrowers have good things to say about their reverse mortgage experiences. Let me share what some of our Minnesota reverse mortgage borrowers have said.
Dave shared, “Having had an accident that eliminated my of my teeth, total dental implants was required. Without a reverse mortgage I could not have raised the money to have the implants done. It was a great relief to be able to smile again and eat sweet corn again.”
To increase his cash flow Bernie did a reverse mortgage and had this to say, “After talking with 2 other reverse mortgage representatives, receiving apologies for non-functioning DVDs, and talking to an attorney, I chose Reverse Mortgages SIDAC. It is so helpful to deal with local persons. Both Beth and Steve followed up with everything. They were very helpful in personal visits and phone calls. Beth has also been helpful with other senior issues.”
Larry and Karen* did the reverse mortgage to stabilize their finances. They found Reverse Mortgages SIDAC to be friendly, courteous and respectful of them. Additionally they shared they found that all pertinent information was discussed regarding reverse mortgage options and costs and the details were explained so they understood them. They also felt that they were informed of what to expect during the processing and kept informed of the status through the process. In addition they said they received explanations of the forms that were signed at closing. Overall they shared their experience was positive.
Mike shared, “Without the help and knowledge of Beth Paterson who first told me about the reverse mortgage to buy I would never have been able to get our beautiful new townhome, which my wife needs because of her mobility to navigate a lot of stairs. I owe Beth a big debt of gratitude. She is the best! She is knowledgeable and she cares and worked tirelessly for us.”
Wayne recommends us stating, “Reverse Mortgages SIDAC is very customer focused and will settle for no less than what the applicant request’s objectives are. They knew the “system” very well and lead the borrower though it step by step. Above all, Reverse Mortgages SIDAC is respectful and honest.”
Helping them out of foreclosure, Gary and Cathy* said, “Thanks so much! Beth and Steve you guys are the best!”
Yvonne wrote, “My experience with Beth and Steve was very enjoyable. I was always able to reach one of them. I paid off my mortgage, so eliminated the monthly mortgage payment! It has made a big difference in my quality of life to have that additional income every month.”
To supplement her income, Marilyn did the reverse mortgage, sharing, “I didn’t really want to have to do this reverse mortgage because I’m too proud. But thank goodness it was there for me. Steve was so very helpful as was Beth. At closing all documents were in order perfectly. I’m very glad I reached out to this company. Everything went so well.”
Bonnie did the reverse mortgage to “secure my retirement” allowing her to retire. Of her experience she said, “Beth and Steve were wonderful! Caring, efficient, thoughtful. All are words that describe them and their service – I had contacted a nationally advertised company but did not feel at all comfortable with them. I went with Reverse Mortgages SIDAC because they are local and knowledgeable about Minnesota and my needs here.”
“Having Beth and Steve to guide me through every step of the process was the blessing that made a reverse mortgage possible. We were able to complete the process in time to obtain the maximum possible funds under the old system, making my dream of remodeling possible,” Matthew stated.
These are just a few of the experiences reverse mortgage borrowers have had. Keep them in mind as you hear about reverse mortgages and are considering one. Work with a reverse mortgage originator who is local, specializes and has experience in reverse mortgages, is ethical adhering to the NRMLA pledge and takes their time to give you the details so you understand the reverse mortgage and will have a positive experience and find the benefits. If you’re in Minnesota, give us a call.
