I Give Larry 10 Stars! We looked at the reverse mortgage as a way to help increase our monthly income. We initially looked at selling our home but decided we really wanted to stay in our home. We were given Larry’s name by a Realtor and the rest is history. There were challenges that needed to be overcome, but Larry helped us through everything. I would recommend him to anyone. I give him 10 Stars!!

Incredibly Patient: Larry was incredibly patient with my mother as we worked through the reverse mortgage process. He was great at keeping us updated and he took the initiative to work through an issue allowing a better result. I would recommend Larry 100%.

Larry is the Best!! I was referred to Larry and could not be happier for the result. I had a unique circumstance, I was just out of bankruptcy and I had to save my house from foreclosure. I just got in under the time to qualify from the better limits under the old rules for a larger line of credit. Because my bankruptcy estate was not fully complete I had to get a court order from the bankruptcy judge to remove my house from my bankruptcy estate. With a time limit of 12/31/13 to close the financing, which I had to have to pay off the amount due to get out of foreclosure. Once I had the court order, Larry did a miracle in getting the paper work complete to close. I ended up closing the reverse mortgage on 12/31/13 at 12:30 pm, just 4.5 hours left in the year to close the deal! Larry saved my house and life. I can never express the amount of gratitude I have for his great service. THANK YOU LARRY!!!!!
