Extremely Patient, Courteous, and Helpful My father recently concluded a reverse mortgage for which Mr. Larry McAnarney was the loan officer.  I sat in with my father on several of the discussions to help him through the process.  Mr. McAnarney was extremely patient, courteous and helpful.  He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure that my father understood his options and was comfortable.  His conduct was very professional, while exhibiting genuine care for the elderly client whom he was serving.  Both my father and I felt very confident about his knowledge, ethics and professionalism.  I would recommend Mr. McAnarney to anyone considering the option of a reverse mortgage.

Proficiency & Knowledge: Larry's proficiency and knowledge of the matter of reverse mortgage and its details was so helpful. Several members from my family of origin were also involved in helping me make this decision. Having a disability, I had to proceed consciously as I enter into my golden years of life. Larry was well aware of my situation and always kept that a consideration when developing this plan for me
