Sheila Landis - Retirement Mortgage Advisor

What started as a 90 minute panel event, morphed.

Last week I had the privilege of speaking on a panel where we broke down the various stages and options for senior living.

Demystifying how to plan for aging in place and in-home care.
Who can assist with exploring community living and the costs and resources associated with each phase.

I shared the stage with Peter Wilhelm, Senior Placement Advisor and Abby Danzig from The Springs Living.

Questions flew, notes were taken, and the follow-up conversations were a breath of fresh air. Curiosity and exploration, a willingness to understand.
That’s why I love working with this generation.

Buy Before You Sell and Reverse Mortgage Live Workshop - SAVE THE DATE

Ready for a deeper understanding of reverse mortgages and their close friend, bridge loans?
Both product suites have expanded, making it time for an update.
What do they have in common? They both work to create opportunities across the same buyer demographic:
• Homeowners with strong equity positions
• Most commonly aged 55+
• Prefer to conserve savings/investments in a transition
• Welcome choices that eliminate uncertainty

If you're an agent in the Portland metro area looking to truly understand how these loans work, mark your calendar.
June 24, 4:00 to 5:30 at our office in Tigard.
CE with a side of happy hour! Details to follow early June.

A first for me this week...

A financial advisor referred a client to me by saying: "She's a kind knowledgeable older woman."

He told me: "She will listen to you. You are relatable.
You know, someone closer to her age.”

Ok. I got it on the first swing, and I'll take it.

Yesterday I met with two remarkable women facing very different life decisions — one buying a home, one figuring out how to fund her husband's medical care.

I’m the idea person. I’m the educator.

And to one, I’m now the “friend”

“I feel like I made a friend today,” she said. “I had no idea there were payment optional choices.”
“You spent time, explained multiple options, and I now feel like I can talk to my kids and figure stuff out.”

It was a good day.

If you still think reverse mortgages are a scam or a bad idea — come talk to a knowledgeable older woman. I'll set you straight.

Connecting with industry teammates renews purpose in what I do. The recent Women in Insurance and Finance BLOOM event didn't disappoint!

Topic: What does home mean to you?
Answers: all different, but same theme, security and safety.

I love what I do and this was a great reminder of why.
