I have a unique combination of a background in teaching and education, along with eight years of experience helping senior homeowners with reverse mortgages. My teaching background includes first grade teacher in the public schools and college professor at Utah State University where I earned my Doctorate in Education.
I bring my teaching experience to my job as a reverse mortgage consultant. My focus is on educating the borrower and their family about the reverse mortgage so that they can make an informed decision.
I believe that I cannot make a recommendation to the borrower until I have a thorough understanding of their unique situation and what their goals are. This takes time. It is a process I take my clients through so that if they decide to move forward with the reverse mortgage, they have all the facts and know exactly what they are doing.
Too often, the reverse mortgage is not considered in the context of the entire financial and life-style picture which leads to unfortunate consequences down the road. I strongly urge my clients to get a financial planner's perspective before transacting a reverse mortgage.
