This week we’ll be kicking off a series:
💥Why Marie got a Reverse Mortgage! 💥
A lot of people have misconceptions about Senior Mortgages/ Reverse Mortgages.
In our 10-part series, Marie will not only explain her strategy for retirement planning for her own situation, but the MT team will be breaking down the Myths vs Reality of these tools.
🥰 You won’t want to miss this! We’ll keep it short and sweet. 🥰

With NAIFA Illinois – We just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉
We love NAIFA and proud to be an affiliate member.

(National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors).

We believe in their mission and really enjoy collaborating with financial advisors to serve our clients in the best possible way.

Helping people with a mortgage isn’t a ‘one and done’ transaction with us - it’s part of a strategy toward retirement income maximization.

Marie and Tobias are happy to be a board sponsor for tomorrow’s Tinley Park Chamber of Commerce Bag Crawl.
We’re also volunteering at the Bike Shop hole, from 3-4. It’s right by the Oak Park Ave Train Station.
Such a good time and we love supporting our Chamber and other businesses.

All closings are special, but when we get to help a friend purchase a home-it really is deeply satisfying!
Thank you Gia and mom Laura for being amazing! May you cherish memories in your new home for many years to come.

Tobias and I have moved!
We are now both with Luminate Bank. We have so much to share, about what we can offer now.
We can now originate loans in all 50 states. Yes, we’re very happy about that!
We can offer just about any kind of residential mortgage - Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, for purchase or refinance.
We can also help with reverse mortgages and other options geared towards seniors.
We also have a department now that can help us with renovation loans and we will talk about that in posts to come.
We appreciate your support and ask you to spread the word!
