Thank you so much to Richard from Seniors First for guiding my Mum through the very complex process of applying for a Reverse Mortgage so she could stay in the home she loves so much. So glad we had his direction as the process was very different to a standard mortgage and took significantly longer than we anticipated at the beginning. Very happy with the outcome and highly recommend engaging Seniors First to help with the process.
