When we first started considering going down a reverse mortgage path we debated the tradeoffs of going direct with one of the lenders offering... reverse mortgages versus going through a broker. We are now very pleased we decided to go the broker route and especially pleased with our good fortune in having Richard as the broker assigned to us by Seniors First to manage our reverse mortgage application process.From the time of our first video conference, Richard gave us a feeling of competence and confidence. Richard answered our questions clearly and in a timely manner when he could and when he did not know the answer at the time, he took an action to get back to us and always followed through. This is the kind of interaction we always respected and tried to emulate during our business careers, so it gave us a feeling we were in good hands with Richard for our reverse mortgage application process.We know our case involved more broker involvement than normal due to several issues related to the valuation process. We appreciate Richard's timely interactions with the lender's team (and advice to us) to get things on a clear track to resolution and completion.We can recommend Richard and Seniors First without hesitation to anyone considering going down the reverse mortgage path.read more

We recently decided to take out a reverse mortgage and engaged Palka Kumar from Seniors First as a mortgage broker. She is personable,... knowledgeable, attentive, always available to answer questions and give additional support.
 She made the process of setting a up the mortgage easy and stress free. Palka was absolutely amazing, one of the nicest people I've dealt with in a long time.
 Extremely happy and I have no hesitation in recommending Palka’s service. She is worth every one of the five stars.Daryl and Cheryl Turnerread more
