ABOUT NICOLE
Most reverse mortgage originators come from the “forward” mortgage field, often drifting over when other mortgage markets decline, but I came in through a different door. I first learned about reverse mortgages from where you’re probably sitting right now – the borrower side. Several years ago, I asked a very simple question of my father. When are you going to replace Mom’s old car? I could have left it alone when he told me they didn’t want to take on a new payment for awhile, and figured it was their business, best to stay out of it. But for the first time I didn’t stay out of it; I dug a little deeper into their finances and how things were going. After some initial hesitation and skepticism on my part, I began to look at reverse mortgages with them. To make a long story short, they got the reverse mortgage, and I embarked on a career.
Today I travel all over New England doing reverse mortgages for people like my parents, and for people with different circumstances than my parents. I make a point of continually networking with elder law attorneys, long term care specialists, financial planners, tax advisors, and federal, state and local agencies, because I want to be not just a reverse mortgage specialist, but a trusted resource for my senior clients. Also, I recognize that reverse mortgages don’t usually happen in a vacuum; they’re part of your overall retirement plan. So whether you need a financial planner in the Boston area or an elder law attorney in Bar Harbor, ME, or a foundation contractor in Portsmouth, NH, chances are good that I’ll know one. And if I don’t know one, I’ll find one. Please take a look at the “Research & Links” page of this web site – you’ll find more than reverse mortgages there. And if you have a great web site or resource that I should know about, feel free to drop me a line.
