Maintain Ownership of Your Home

Contrary to popular belief, you will not lose your home with a Canadian reverse mortgage. You'll never be asked to move or sell to repay your Reverse Mortgage.

Use The Money Anyway You Wish

A reverse mortgage can help you enjoy your retirement or cover unexpected expenses. Pay for medical bills, upgrade your home, help family and loved ones, travel and pay monthly expenses without depleting your current savings. The only condition is that any outstanding loans secured by your home must be paid out with the proceeds from your Reverse Mortgage.

Keep All Remaining Home Equity

In many years of experience, 99 out of 100 homeowners have money left over when their Reverse Mortgage is repaid. And on average, the amount left over is 50% of the value of the home when it is sold.

Experienced Reverse Mortgage Advice

Unlike a traditional mortgage where you make payments to a bank or someone else, a reverse mortgage pays you. You can use the money in anyway you see fit and live your retirement comfortably knowing you don’t need to leave your home. The biggest benefit of a reverse mortgage is that you are not required to make regular payments for as long as you or your spouse lives in your home.

Have Questions? 

Here are a few answers to some common questions you might have.

Standard Q&A

  • Will the homeowner owe more than the house is worth?

    The homeowner keeps all the equity remaining in the home. In our many years of experience, over 99% of homeowners have money left over when their loan is repaid.

    The equity remaining depends on the amount borrowed, the value of the home, and the amount of time that’s passed since the reverse mortgage was taken out.

  • Will the bank own the home?
    No. The homeowner retains title and maintains ownership of the home. It’s required for the homeowner to live in the home, pay taxes on time, have home insurance, and maintain the property in good condition.
  • What if the homeowner has an existing mortgage?
    For clients that have an existing mortgage, the first step we will take is to pay off your conventional mortgage along with any other secured debt.
  • Should reverse mortgages only be considered as a loan of last resort?
    No. Many financial professionals recommend a reverse mortgage to supplement monthly income instead of selling and downsizing, or taking out a conventional mortgage or a line of credit.
  • What fees are associated with a reverse mortgage?
    There are one time fees to arrange a reverse mortgage such as an appraisal fee, fee for independent legal advice as well as our fee for administration, title insurance, and registration. With the exception of the appraisal fee, these fees are paid for with the funding dollars.
  • What if the homeowner can’t afford payments?
    There are no monthly payments required as long as the homeowner is living in the home.
