How Do Reverse Mortgages Work?

2.

If you need access to your home’s equity now to pay for your everyday living expenses, then a reverse mortgage can help you with exactly that.

3.

A reverse mortgage allows you to borrow money using your own home equity without any monthly payments as long as you stay in your home.

4.

When your home is sold, the loan is repaid, no problem. 

5.

Reverse mortgages are very common, totally safe, and fully regulated by the federal government.

6.

Many people are eligible for reverse mortgages and don’t even know it. We highly recommend that you check for yourself, and we’re happy to help.

    Had a terrible experience with this mortgage broker for my Buyer from their 3rd Avenue Branch in Brooklyn. We were originally dealing with Michael Friedrich and then Jamie Adesso was handling the loan process. We had been under contract for over five weeks, had received conditional loan approval several weeks ago. We were supposed to close last Friday, extended to tomorrow, and lender denied the loan the day before closing! Response on the denial letter was “income to debt ratio“ this should have been looked at prior to even doing a preapproval letter. The loan processor that we were dealing with, Jamie Adesso, would not always respond to our emails and when she did, she was rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, Michael Friedrich was also copied on emails and never responded. At this time, I am negotiating the Release of Escrow as the lender missed the 'loan commitment deadline' and could end up costing my Buyer up to $10,000 of his escrow deposit. This is why realtors suggest potential buyers use the lenders they are familiar with. Would not recommend this company.

  • Gus and Jenna have been phenomenal. The amount of follow-up and follow through are unparallel as they are always on top of my file, updating me every step of the way. The loan terms are great and customer service can’t be beat. I have dealt with many lenders and bankers in the past and I can say without reservation that Fort Funding Corp is the best mortgage broker in the business.

  • Gus and James were great to work with. Gus is like a human encyclopedia of mortgages. We shopped around before coming here but Gus and James really helped us find the best rate. They cared about our mortgage like it was their own.

    I recently purchased my first home and luckily I had the help of Gus and Katrina to help me along the way. They made a very stressful time of my life a little less stressful and were there for me every step of the way. They showed true interest in making sure I was taken care of to the best of their ability and always made sure to be available when I needed. I highly recommend fort funding and I wouldn't go through the purchase of a home with anyone else. thanks guys!
