Local market conditions
Los Angeles is really a patchwork of distinct neighborhoods, from the hillside bungalows of Highland Park and Eagle Rock to the postwar tracts of Mar Vista, Westchester, and Leimert Park, and many seniors here have watched their homes appreciate enormously since they first bought in. For homeowners on a fixed income, a reverse mortgage can turn decades of that appreciation into a tax-free supplement to Social Security or a line of credit to draw on as needs come up. Because LA's bilingual, multigenerational households are so varied, our advisors walk each family through the FHA-insured HECM option and, for higher-value properties above the federal limit, a private (jumbo) reverse mortgage.
What Los Angeles residents say
"We'd lived in our Silver Lake home for 32 years. The our team helped us access our equity so we could help our grandchildren and still enjoy our retirement." — Robert & Helen T., Los Angeles resident
