Fast and Painless Process I still can’t believe how fast and painless the process was. During the reverse mortgage process Larry was easy to work with. He patiently responded to every question I asked him, day or night. Larry is very knowledgeable of the process and made it easy for us to understand. We always felt comfortable during the process and he made us feel like we were his only client. From initiation to closing we were completed in six weeks. We highly recommend Larry for reverse mortgage needs.

Pleasure Working with Larry It was a pleasure working with Larry. He explained everything just as it worked out from start to finish. I wish I had more school teachers that could explain things and work with me as well as he did. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested a reverse mortgage. 5 stars plus

Larry is One of the Best I have always considered myself very comfortable financially. That is until a number of uncontrollable events occurred and most of my remaining retirement assets were in bricks. Fortunately, I met Larry a few years ago and remembered hearing about his experience and knowledge in investments, real estate and the markets in general. Having recently lost my husband I did not want to involve family in personal financial discussions, I called Larry. Larry's patience and experience in clearly explaining my options made him very easy to work with. I never felt rushed to make a decision, even after I was approved and then backed away to look at another lender. He didn't "pester" me. He left me alone to think. I came back because I knew he was looking out for my best interest. I spent my career in sales & marketing and am very familiar with selling a high-end product. Larry is one of the best. He kept the needs of his customer his primary objective. Thanks to Larry I am on my feet again.
