All Reverse did charge a loan origination fee and closing costs of about $17K on my loan, contrary to what it says at the top of this website's page. Didn't have the good luck of working with Kim Jones. Rick Williams was OK but not knowledgeable about FHA inspection requirements.

When we started investigating reverse mortgages, we knew it wouldn’t be easy. We were finishing up construction of our owner/builder new home and had some work left to do, but with interest rates rising wanted to get on with it. So our situation wasn’t run of the mill, and Kim Jones at All Reverse was the only contact who had straight answers to our how-do-we-do-this questions. The only one, of many. And she up front had the best rates of the many lenders I contacted, without the typical ‘I might be able to do better’ and ‘we can match a better offer’. Then, she and others of the crew at All Reverse made the process as easy as possible, which isn’t as simple as it sounds. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your help in securing a Reverse Mortgage for Richard and I this winter. Your company was not the first one I called for information on a RM, but from the first day I called you in late January, I was impressed by both your knowledge and your clear explanations. Then, once we had chosen your firm based on your very competitive rates and fees, I was impressed with your quick service. Your employees also provided excellent explanations and service. The process went very smoothly and I would recommend All Reverse Mortgage to seniors like us. Please feel free to use me as a reference if someone has doubts about using an online service like you provide. Again, thank you for your competence and patience in dealing with us. Sincerely yours, Lois B.

Do not hesitate to request your quote, they are a great bunch of people who will help and guide every step of the way. Of the three offers I received All Reverse was lowest in rate and offered it at no closing costs. - Walter II
