    Cassandra is a rare find in the real estate market! She is a trustworthy professional who takes her job seriously and had our best interests in mind. Highly recommend her!

    We have LOVED working with Cassandra. She is very educational (she knows her stuff) and she sends us regular updates in the lending world. She knows how to catch things right off the bat so you're not dealing with them at the end of a transaction. We would recommend her to any buyer that walks in our door.

    Cassandra was great throughout the whole process! She took her time to explain options, answer questions and guide us through our refinance in order to for us to achieve the best possible outcome.

    Cassandra went above and beyond to help us get a mortgage after we had been changing lenders twice and had a complicated case. Her experience and super fast processing was refreshing after we experienced how the previous lenders were operating. Her work finally helped us to secure that mortgage and we are very grateful to her. She is recommended and I suggest any newbie home buyer like us contact her to ensure a smooth process and avoid any pitfalls in the way.

    Spectacular! Top Notch! And our personal favorite: "On It!". We just bought our first house. In this market, everything real estate related seems crazy, but Cassandra, who we affectionately nicknamed "on it", was a steady, calming voice. And literally, she is on it like nobody's business. We were referred to Cassandra by a sellers agent who was so impressed with her from a previous transaction. Cassandra lived up to every word. Any questions we had, she was able to give confident, simple, straightforward answers. And when it came to the loan process, she drives it. Nothing sits waiting… she is always on it! She got us fully underwritten so our pre-approval was as competitive as could be. She would reach out to the seller side and stress our qualifications to help us get our offers accepted. And when we finally found our home, she closed our loan in like 17 or 18 days! I'm not even joking, dealing with Cassandra was the best part of the whole transaction.

    I couldn't recommend her highly enough!!

    Had a great experience with Cassandra. She was helpful and knowledgeable and without her expertise we would not have been able to qualify for our home. We appreciate all her help.

    When you can find a lender on every corner, all doing the same thing, it can be hard to decide who to work with. Well let me make it easy for you- CASSANDRA IS #1. As a Realtor specializing in homebuying, I have assisted many buyers with their home purchases and see the ins and out of the loan process. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE tops Cassandra's effort, communication, willingness to educate, package loans, or offer the most competitive pricing. She cannot be beat-

    As first time home buyers, we had little to no idea how to navigate the big task of financing a home. Cassandra made it so easy and always provided great insight. She was very gentle and patient with us during decision making moments and always answered my phone calls with such, quickness, joy, and glee. I’d recommend her to any first time home buyer and anyone else as a matter of fact. We were so blessed and thankful to have her in our corner contenting for us every step of the way. Our builder acknowledged her so many times and was very satisfied by Cassandra’s efficiency and speed. She is family to us now and is always welcomed at our new home!

About HECM (Reverse Mortgage)

At the conclusion of the term of the reverse mortgage loan contract, some or all of the equity in the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage no longer belongs to you and you may need to sell or transfer the property to repay the proceeds of the reverse mortgage from the proceeds of the sale or transfer or you must otherwise repay the reverse mortgage with interest from your other assets.

We may charge an origination fee, a mortgage insurance premium, closing costs or servicing fees for the reverse mortgage, all or any of which will be added to the balance of the reverse mortgage loan

The balance of the reverse mortgage loan grows over time and interest is charged on the outstanding loan balance.

You retain title to the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage until you sell or transfer the property and therefore you are responsible for paying property taxes, insurance, maintenance and related taxes. Failing to pay these amounts may cause the reverse mortgage loan to become due immediately and may be subject to a tax lien or other encumbrance or to possible foreclosure; and

Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from the person’s income tax return until the person repays all or part of the reverse mortgage loan
