Proven Success

Three decades of mortgage financing experience.
One team that expertly guides you through it all.

Wendy and Edith have worked together as mortgage consultants since 1989, which is more than 30 years. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, both have helped hundreds of California home buyers and homeowners—if not thousands—finance their dream home, whether it’s a condo in the city, a family home in the suburbs, or even a vacation home in popular California destinations like  Lake Tahoe, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs.

As professional mortgage consultants specializing in reverse mortgage loans, Wendy and Edith know how important it is to educate senior homeowners and their adult children about the benefits of this type of mortgage, because a senior homeowner’s quality of life often depends on many factors. A reverse mortgage can be the financial tool they need to maintain their independence.

Most importantly, Edith and Wendy share the same personal values—which is the happiness that comes from helping customers become homeowners! When it comes to helping others, they always go above and beyond to explain the benefits of different programs.

What Home Owners and Home Buyers Say About Us  

“We couldn’t have asked for a better loan experience.”


My husband and I were struggling financially to help both my parents with their living expenses and some unexpected medical bills, while putting 2 kids through college.

The strain on us was mounting, and when we heard about Reverse Mortgages, it was the perfect solution to allow my parents to stay in their home with no mortgage payments, and for us to stop the financial bleeding.

Wendy and Edith were very helpful, answered all of our questions, and structured the financing to the best benefit of our family. They were knowledgeable and honest and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better loan experience.

– Sarah and Thomas, San Jose CA

“Can’t thank Wendy and Edith enough for their guidance and advice.”

 

I am a single woman and have lived in my home for over 30 years. My only income is derived from social security and a small teacher’s pension.

I had no mortgage on my home and my brother, who is a real estate agent, recommended I arrange for a line of credit on my home.  This provided extra income to pay my living expenses. But the more I used the line of credit, the higher my monthly mortgage payments became. I was robbing Peter to pay Paul. While the line of credit worked out great, over time the available credit dwindled down to zero.

My home’s value had increased to $1,200,000 over the years,  so we looked into Reverse Mortgages. I contacted Wendy and Edith who explained the program in detail. I got a reverse mortgage that provided an accessible balance of $730,000—with no mortgage payments.

I have never enjoyed such a worry free life. I enjoyed going on vacation; purchased a ‘new’ used car, and did a remodel of my kitchen. Planning a cruise for next year. Life is good!

Can’t thank Wendy and Edith enough for their guidance and advice throughout the process.
