Reverse Mortgages Workshop

Most Americans would prefer to remain in their own home for as long as possible. One way that people can do that is a “Reverse Mortgage.” Knowing the fundamentals about Reverse Mortgages can make for a solid decision and prevent major problems. A Reverse Mortgage enables seniors 62 or older to access their home equity for a variety of purposes. 

 

Pierce County Community Connections Aging & Disability Resources is sponsoring “Reverse Mortgages: A Primer for Consumers” as part of the “Know it before you need it” series.  The free workshop explains in clear, impartial terms the basic features of a Reverse Mortgage and how one can provide the means to stay in one’s home.

“Many people are apprehensive about getting a Reverse Mortgage,” said Aaron Van Valkenburg, manager of Aging and Disability Resources. “But they can be a prudent way for seniors to tap into a home’s value and provide the means to remain at home without sacrificing anything. When it comes to Reverse Mortgages, knowledge is everything.”
