    I am an attorney who has assisted clients in obtaining mortgages for over 40 years. Recently I needed a reverse mortgage for a client and was introduced to Mary Jo Lafaye. In working with her, I experienced the highest quality of professional services. She clearly knew all of the details surrounding reverse mortgages including the legal requirements, the economic factors, and the practical aspects. She and her colleague, Christina Rosellini, were consistently timely in response to any of my inquiries. Also, Mary Jo demonstrated that she had the best interests of my client in her mind. She did not in any way pressure my client into pursuing one potential mortgage over another. Because of her knowledge, approach and service, I would highly recommend Mary Jo LaFaye to anyone in need of a reverse mortgage.Leland H. Faust

    I have known Mary Jo for well over a decade. She is a consummate professional, smart, and as well versed as one can be on the Reverse Mortgage program. More importantly she is caring and conscious of how her actions effect others. Bottom line Mary Jo is a great person, and consistently shows up in amazing ways. There are a lot of good Reverse Mortgage professionals out there, but if you choose Mary Jo your a winner!

    We recommended Mary Jo Lafaye to my mother-in-law who needed guidance around the issue of reverse mortgages and would it be something for her to consider. Mary Jo was VERY patient with her and made her feel much better about her financial situation and what the next move should be. We were all, my wife, mother-in - law, and myself extremely impressed with Mary Jo's professionalism, clarity, no nonsense and compassionate manner. She also has access to slew of resources if she can't help you directly. I would recommend her in a second for any financial issue.

    Mary Jo is truly one of the best reverse mortgage consultants in the country! I am also a reverse mortgage consultant. When I recently had a customer in Mary Jo's neck of the woods, I did not hesitate requesting Mary Jo's assistance to fulfill the client's needs, even though I might have attempted to assist from afar. This particular woman needed a bit more "hand-holding" than others. Mary Jo put her at ease with her knowledge of the programs, the ability to help select the one that best fit her needs, and her responsiveness to all her questions. And, I know that Mary Jo will continue to be available to assist down the road, should more questions arise. Thank you, Mary Jo, for all your help with this particular client and all the rest of your generous support!

    Mary Jo Lafaye is THE expert in helping people improve their finances during retirement by leveraging a reverse mortgage (aka Home Equity Conversion Mortgage - HECM). Mary Jo can helped adults in their retirement years to use reverse mortgages to navigate a variety of financial challenges, such as fixed income, medical expenses, downsizing, late-life divorces and more. I have worked extensively with Mary Jo and she is our company's go-to for expertise and insight on the topic of reverse mortgages.
