What’s the process for getting a Reverse Mortgage?
The reverse mortgage process is similar to getting any other mortgage. You’ll have licensed mortgage loan originators guiding you every step of the way. Below are the basic steps to applying for a reverse mortgage.
Step 1: Education
A licensed mortgage loan originator will assess your individual needs to determine if a reverse mortgage is right for your financial situation. This is a great time to get all your questions answered and your concerns addressed.
Step 2: Counseling
Reverse mortgage applicants are required to undergo independent counseling to ensure that they fully understand their financial decision. Counselors are approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and have no affiliation to lenders.
Step 3: Application
As with any other loan, the application involves a lot of paperwork. A licensed mortgage loan originator will be by your side to let you know exactly which supporting financial documents you’ll need to provide, making the process as seamless as possible.
Step 4: Processing & Apppraisal
Once your application is complete, your loan officer will submit it for processing. A home appraisal will be scheduled to determine your property’s value and ensure your home is in a livable condition.
Step 5: Closing
Once the loan is approved, the last step is to sign the final documents. Any existing mortgage(s) will be paid off with a portion of the proceeds from your reverse mortgage.

Kellie Collins, Ellie Seymour & the rest of their team are absolutely outstanding. From our very first conversation about my plans & goals to the closing on my new home, they were there to inform, educate and support me along the way. I felt very taken care of and confident in my decisions. Thank you for your professionalism and genuine care. This was truly an amazing home buying experience. (I didn’t know it could be so easy AND fun!)

Kellie is hands down one of the most thorough, patient, and kind professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. From the start, she went above and beyond to make sure I understood every aspect of the loan process. She even took the time to create personalized videos to explain each of my questions, which made everything so much clearer and less overwhelming. Her responsiveness was incredible—she always got back to me right away and never left me hanging. What really stood out was her creativity with financing. She explored every option and found smart, resourceful ways to overcome potential obstacles, always keeping my best interest in mind. If you’re looking for a lender who cares, communicates exceptionally, and brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the table, give her a call, she’s truly a gem!
