Did you know, that a reverse mortgage broker has to be licenced to originate reverse loans in a state, where he is located? Did you also know, that all reverse mortgage brokers are members in the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association?
The association membership is a sort of a guarantee for the reverse mortgage broker, because then a senior knows to whom to contact, if she or he doubts something. The property location will determine the location of the reverse mortgage broker.
1. Use The List Of The Brokers For The Shopping.
The reverse loan is a long term commitment, which means, that the broker and the lender must be reliable and well-known long term ventures. One sign is the brand image of the company, because only the good ones will reach the good fame. Step one in finding a company is to prepare a list of reverse mortgage brokers. Collect the names of the candidates from the different sources. The bank manager, the press, other seniors, ads and internet.
Step two is to cut the names down to twenty and to send the same quote request to all of them. Before you can do this, you must have collected enough information about your needs and the different financial products and met the counselor.
2. Compare The Quotes.
If you still think, that the reverse mortgage brokers are selling the same products with the same prices, it is a time to change your opinion. The reverse loans are like whatever products, which do not have any fixed selling terms. The economic situation will influence greatly on the prices and the only way to get the best deal is to follow the market long enough, to use special offers and to ask quotes regularly. You have to do your homework.
3. Select The Five Best Quotes.
You must show, that you are serious with your deal. When you get the first quotes from the brokers, pick the best five and ask each of them once again, what is their best offer. You can tell directly, that you have other quotes, which are as good as yours. Will you do it better?
4. Make The Best Two To Compete With Each Other.
Nobody wants to be a loser, especially not the reverse mortgage broker, who has been in contact with you several times and done a lot of work for your offer. When you let him know, that there are two offers, which are equal, I am sure each is willing to talk about the terms. Before you sign the aggreement, make sure that both are respected, reputable and long term operators in the reverse loan industry.
5. Show Your Quotes To The Counselor.
Your initial information, with which you asked the quotes, was partly built as a resulst of the counselor meeting. Maybe you also received recommendations about the brokers. Now you can turn to the counselor and ask, whether these brokers are high classic companies and whether you are safe, if you will make an aggreement with some of them.
As you can find from this article, the process to find a broker is very practical and the key is the fact, that each broker at each time has its own terms. When a borrower follows the market long enough, he will find out the best deal. This is important, because the reverse loan is a long term deal and the accrued costs will be paid away after the running time.
