28 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER August 2019 Discover the Truth about Reverse Mortgages Over the past several years, a host of federal rule changes have begun to shine a more positive light on the idea of the reverse mortgage. But even with reverse mortgages bringing more borrower protections than ever before and drawing closer to the mainstream, many homeowners still hesitate to pursue them in fear that they’ll be left with no equity or home to pass on to their loved ones. Fortunately, Jeff Foody with Northwest Reverse Mortgage works tirelessly to weed out the misconceptions and downright untruths that have perpetuated. He brings 17 years of experience in the reverse mortgage industry and ensures his clients get the facts. “Access to reliable information and a seasoned expert makes a huge difference during retirement planning and execution,” explains Foody. He urges anyone who is mulling over their retirement options to seek out an expert for guidance on how to best utilize their home equity to secure their future. “Hesitations and concerns are usually bred from a lack of information,” Foody says. “Accurate information overcomes most objections. Either the reverse mortgage works or it doesn’t. There’s really no in-between.” That’s why Foody has become determined to provide this much needed education- by way of reverse mortgage seminars- throughout the Pacific Northwest. Foody firmly believes that providing Oregon residents with personalized sem- inars based on their own concerns is the best way to get the whole truth to the many retirees who are missing out simply because they just don’t know. Whether they need help buying a home that’s better suited to their situation or need to access some of their current home’s equity, Foody and his team have the reverse mortgage expertise that most banks and traditional mortgage companies lack. “There is no one else in the state of Oregon that is remotely close to the level of experience that we have at Northwest Reverse Mortgage,” says Foody, highlighting his depth of knowledge within the industry. “My blood runs in reverse,” he jokes. Northwest Reverse Mortgage gives every client personal attention to better understand their needs and help them achieve the best possible outcome. Foody notes, “Having somebody come to your house and explain all of the difficulties and details of the program is one of the reasons people choose us.” Due to misinformation and misconceptions, some homeowners may not fully understand reverse mortgages or their value. But, as Foody notes, “In reality, this program can provide multiple financial options that people did not know were available to them.” “Our seminars are very easy going,” Foody explains. Several scenarios are discussed over dinner and those interested can ask all the questions they de- sire. “The guests that come to dinner with us learn more than they thought they would, and they love listening to everyone’s questions and stories. It re- ally brings everyone together and offers an experience a one on one meeting would not.” Foody explains. Attend one of our upcoming seminars to learn more.
