"I feel like you (Herb) are my friend now. You have been so kind and patient with me and were so nice to spend extra time visiting with Mr. J, when we signed the final documents.” Being older, people try and take advantage of us, but you both are so honest. I felt so comfortable with you Herb, from the first time you came to my house to meet me and my granddaughter to explain how the reverse loan worked. You were so helpful and made the loan go so smoothly.”
Mr. and Mrs. J were living on a small amount of money from social security. Mr. J, is 94 and blind, and needs some assistance. Mrs. J is 84 and needed help taking care of Mr. J. The J’s did not have the money to pay for his care, dental work or to put a ramp in for Mr. J’s wheel chair access. Now that they have income from their reverse mortgage, the J’s now have money to pay for all their needs. In addition, they were able to help their grandchildren financially...
"I can’t think of any better way you could have done this for me. It was low key, no push, and from the very beginning Herb conveyed an honest and trustworthy feeling."

Mrs. B needed a new foundation and wanted to update her kitchen. At 85, she used her savings to cover the increasing cost of food, prescriptions and other living expenses. The amount of money Mrs. B received from her reverse mortgage will pay for her new foundation, new kitchen updates and income to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Mrs. B called to let us know that “my foundation is coming along and I will be glad to have my new kitchen cabinets. Thank you for helping me with getting all those repair estimates, it was so overwhelming for me. I feel so glad I can call you to ask questions, even though I got my reverse mortgage a few months ago”.
Mr. and Mrs. H. got a reverse mortgage to have extra money for when they needed it.
Mrs. H called us recently. “We certainty are enjoying our reverse mortgage. Herb did a great job. We feel fortunate to have met Herb. He is a very nice man.”
Mrs. C is disabled. She incurred some medical expenses that created a shortfall each month. As a result, she was unable to make the last two mortgage payments. By obtaining her reverse mortgage, she paid off her current mortgage, (giving her that $1200.00 for her monthly expenses); all remaining medical expenses and has additional money available in her reverse mortgage line of credit. Mrs. C has more income each month to live on. Since she has had her reverse mortgage earlier this year, Mrs. C has called me twice to tell me how happy she is and that she sleeps soundly now every night.
Mrs. S contacted me to tell me that she just turned 71 and wants to retire, so that she can spend some time with her family. She said that there was no way she could retire and continue making her mortgage payment. By obtaining a reverse mortgage, she was able to payoff her mortgage and have an additional amount of money in a line of credit. Mrs. S called me within a month of closing her reverse mortgage to tell me that she is now retired and spending time with her grandchildren, son and daughter.
Mrs. M wanted to get a reverse mortgage so that she could continue taking her annual cruise for two weeks with her friends. She was afraid that the she would not be able to have fun with her friends in the coming years, as she did not have extra money for vacations any more. Mrs. M called me the month after she returned from her cruise to say thank you so much for making my life fun again.
Mr. H completed his Reverse Mortgage with Simple Reverse Mortgage Solutions in November and said that the staff was “cheerful, sincere, and helpful”. “Herb understood everything he was talking about. If I didn’t understand something I would question him and I always understood after he made it clear.” – Mrs. S
