Thinking about retirement cash flow, but not sure where home equity fits?

Join us for a free Zoom webinar:

Rethinking Reverse Mortgages
Modern Home Equity Strategies for Today’s Retirees
Wednesday, June 17 | 6:30–7:30 PM on Zoom

We’ll cover how today’s reverse mortgages have changed, what borrower protections are built in, when a reverse mortgage may or may not make sense, and how newer HELOC and second mortgage options may provide flexibility without refinancing your current first mortgage.

This is designed for homeowners, adult children helping parents plan, financial planners, and real estate professionals who want a clearer understanding of modern home equity strategies.

Reverse mortgages and home equity products are not right for everyone. Borrowers must meet program requirements and continue to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues if applicable, and maintain the home.

Thinking about a reverse mortgage? This workshop might be helpful… but it’s not for everyone.

Here’s who this is FOR:
💎 Homeowners age 55+ (62+ in some cases)
💎 People who want to explore accessing home equity without monthly payments
💎 Those looking to improve cash flow in retirement
💎 Anyone curious about how reverse mortgages have changed in recent years

And who this is NOT for:
❌ People under age 55 *unless there is another borrower over 55!
❌ Anyone looking for a temporary or short-term loan *unless a reverse SECOND loan might be the solution you are looking for!
❌ Anyone expecting a payment requirement *unless you WANT to make payments, reverse mortgages can be paid down!
❌ Anyone planning to move soon *unless you want to use a reverse mortgage to purchase a new home and keep more funds in the bank!

We’re hosting a short online workshop to walk through how this works today and answer questions.
If you (or someone you know) might benefit, we’d love to have you join us. Call me at 408.813.4729 to learn more and register!!

Some events are about information… Others turn into real conversations. Last night’s Homebuyer Workshop was one of those. What stood out most was the engagement and feedback.

“This is so informative; if you made a commercial to sum up this presentation, it would be the hottest thing since sliced bread!”
“Excellent… we will be in touch; thank you both very much 😍 ”
“SO helpful.”

That’s exactly why we do these.

Buying a home in today’s market isn’t just about rates or programs, it’s about having a clear path and understanding your options.

If you missed this one, we’ll be doing more soon.
And if you’re already thinking about buying, we’re always happy to map things out with you one-on-one.
