How Does the Reverse Mortgage Process Work?
Step-by-Step Process:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Speak with one of our reverse mortgage specialists to assess your needs and goals. We’ll explain how a reverse mortgage works and help determine if it’s the right fit for you. Check out the reverse mortgage calculator to get an idea of what you might be eligible for. This consultation is free and obligation-free.
Step 2: Reverse Mortgage Counseling
Complete a mandatory counseling session with an FHA-approved counselor. This ensures you fully understand the reverse mortgage process, benefits, and responsibilities. You’ll receive a certificate after completion, which is required to proceed.
Step 3: Application and Home Appraisal
Submit your application with basic details about your home and finances. A professional appraiser will assess your home’s value to determine your loan amount. This step typically takes 1-2 weeks.
Step 4: Loan Approval and Offer
Once your application is reviewed and approved, you’ll receive a loan offer outlining your principal limit, closing costs, and payout options. Review the terms with your loan officer and select your preferred option (e.g., lump sum, line of credit, or monthly payments).
Step 5: Closing
Sign the final loan documents. At closing, your mandatory obligations (e.g., mortgage payoff, and closing costs) will be deducted from the loan proceeds. This step finalizes your reverse mortgage.
Step 6: Access Your Funds
Receive your funds in the way that works best for you—whether as a lump sum, a line of credit, or monthly disbursements. Enjoy financial freedom while staying in your home.
“My mother-in-law lived in her home for over 60 years, but as she aged, she needed in-home care in a high-cost-of-living area. Despite owning a valuable home, her fixed income wasn’t enough to cover expenses.
A reverse mortgage was a lifesaver. It provided her with a steady income for the last few years of her life, allowing her to afford care and stay in the home she loved. After she passed, we sold the home, repaid the loan, and the remaining equity went to the family. It gave her financial security and peace of mind when she needed it most.”
