Marketing Minute - Volume 6

this is a reverse mortgage customer!

     Welcome to the 6th edition of the SimpleReverse Marketing Minute! 


This week, we are continuing our new series called "This is a Reverse Mortgage Customer!" In this new series, we will highlight actual customer scenarios and how the reverse mortgage proved to be a great solution for them.


Reverse Scenario:

  • Joanne & Janet are 2 sisters living together. Joanne is 73 years old, Janet is 72 years old; and they owe over $500,000 on the mortgage of their $1,200,000 home and are looking to get rid of the mortgage payment.
  • They both have credit scores over 750 and each have over $150,000 in retirement assets
  • Both make over $4,000 a month in SS Income & Pensions


So, the LO suggested a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (reverse mortgage) to them as a way to get rid of the mortgage payment altogether so they could free up more money to travel. The benefits they received were:


  • Over $450,000 from the reverse mortgage to help pay off the existing mortgage they have, freeing up almost $5,000 a month by eliminating the monthly mortgage payment
  • They each cashed in about $25,000 from their retirement accounts to bring to closing to payoff the rest of the existing mortgage
  • To them, "pre-paying" the mortgage by 10 months with some of their retirement savings was well worth the money to eliminate the mortgage payment forever!
  • If they stay in the house for just 5 more years, they will have saved almost $300,0000 in monthly mortgage payments by doing the reverse mortgage now and using some of their retirement benefits to help eliminate the payment forever!
  • They now have the extra money they wanted each month to travel together, create experiences and make the lifelong memories they have been looking forward to!
