I originally thought of going with a traditional mortgage because that’s how I’ve bought all the other homes that I’ve owned.
My concern was at this point in my life, if I go with a traditional mortgage, will I be sinking all of my proceeds from the sale of my current home into this home?
And then, what will I have left if I want to put something away for a rainy day? Things that I want to do in my home or use it for investment purposes.
What changed my course of thinking was Tracy, my salesperson.
We were talking about mortgages, and I said it would be really nice if I could get a mortgage for maybe $70,000 and apparently that’s not something that is done anymore.
She just looked at me and she said, “Why don’t you think about a reverse mortgage?” And she pulled out the information that she had on Fairway and she shared it with me.
I would recommend the Fairway process to my friends and family. I found them to be very integrated—all their departments, everything they’re asking for.
I was never asked for the same thing twice. People knew what was going on.
It’s a great company to do business with, and it’s a company that values the consumer. They make the experience very personalized.
