As a trusted source for Reverse Mortgage expertise and guidance, I have dedicated the past 19 years in helping people 62 years and older improve their quality of life. What is most rewarding is when you have finally helped them retire and most important having financial stability during retirement. Every client is unique and has a great story to share. It's important to listen because everyone has different ideas and goals.
What gives me great pleasure, we work hard to help them live life independently without fear of what the future will bring. When you have worked your entire lives for your family and to have a home, it's time someone helped you understand how you can finally enjoy your golden years.

When I was first introduced to Catalina, I looked up the meaning of her beautiful name: Pure. I can honestly say that she not only made this transition for me much easier than I expected, but she was very pleasant and understanding. She stayed with me when things became scary. And she helped me overcome my fears and always explained any questions I had. She was always there when I needed her, always. I believe she's a real asset and I would highly recommend her. It was a PURE joy to work with Catalina..Thank you so much ??

I greatly appreciate all you did for me. I will recommend you to everyone.

I want to say Thank You to Catalina. I've been doing business with her for almost 6 years. We've done several refinances and she makes the process extremely easy for us. We were referred by our neighbor, and so thankful having her educate us of having a reverse mortgage. Yes, we were having trouble keeping up with mortgage payments and other issues with the home. Despite all those troubles, she really pulled through. She's very easy to talk to and manages to find ways to help you out when problems come around. I've met many loan officers before, and they cant seem to live out to those expectations like Catalina. She's the Queen Bee when it comes to reverse mortgages.

I referred an 89-year-old friend to Catalina because she had trouble making her mortgage payments, but she wanted to stay in her home. Her monthly income was not quite enough to be approved for a reverse mortgage, so Catalina had to get creative so she could qualify. My friend said that Catalina was great! She was kind and sweet to her, and she worked closely with her to figure out her options, took care of phone calls, appointments, paperwork, and got answers. She was on top of everything. Catalina was able to get my friend approved. She’s so happy because she now has the money she needs to live the rest of her life in comfort without leaving her home of 40 years. Thank you so much, Catalina, for helping my friend.

Catalina was referred to me by one of my mentors in the short term rental space who was also in the mortgage space. My parents needed help with a reverse mortgage in San Francisco and he said Catalina was the best. Catalina walk my parents and I through each and every step of the process and answered all our questions along the way. She was very professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Catalina for any of your mortgage needs.

I was referred to Catalina by a mortgage professional in WA after I moved to CA. From the very beginning, she was professional and knowledgeable and the process was stress free.

Catalina was thorough in explaining the program and the items required to complete the process. It was easy and if I had questions she was always available.

Since completing my reverse mortgage, there have been several times when I had questions. Again she was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. She also reviewed my mortgage to ensure it was still the best product available for my situation.

I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends or family to her.

Client of Catalina Gonzalez/Open Mortgage
I was apprehensive about a Reverse Mortgage originally because of all the negative chatter I had heard so much about it. That was until I met Ms Gonzalez. She almost literally took my hand and carefully and honestly guided me through the process. I may not be an expert in the field now...but I am much more educated and adapt to the process, She helped me save money and my home. I owe the rest of my life to Ms Gonzalez. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. There is no doubt I will work with her again if the opportunity arises and I recommend her to anyone who find themselves in the same situation

Catalina is simply the BEST! She helped my mom feel comfortable with the whole process of Reverse Mortgage by patiently explaining each step in her own language. She guided us every moment so that we knew exactly what to expect and was always ready to answer any questions we may have.

We had an existing credit line with Bank of the West that we had for 30 years and they gave us a hard time closing it in a timely manner that was required by Hud and she was very patient working thru this matter.
She was also very thorough in explaining the process and requirements for obtaining the reverse mortgage.

Catalina was amazing to work with, no matter what the problem was she helped me through it. When she said she would be there for me she was, either by phone or she would come to the house. Her enthusiasms and energy was amazing. She made you feel like you where the only one that mattered.

Catalina helped me with my Reverse mortgage and it was a very difficult process because of my situation. She worked so hard and helped me every step of the way. I could call her at anytime of the day and she answered all my question and if it needed extra processing she would walk me through step by step.

Catalina made a very difficult process seem easier than it was. When it was all completed the results were very gratifying. Catalinas knowledge and honesty was one of the things I apprciated the most. Anyone who has done a reverse mortgage with Catalina will tell you she is the most professional, honest, and reliable person to work with.

To whom it may concern the Reed/Gonzalez affair that is the reverse mortgage affair began almost five years ago and as I told Catalina from the start, I would always give her last option rights, if I found a better dead. After all the time that I put into research and weighing all the options I finally decided on the reverse mortgage company. I went with Catalina. Ms. Catalina is polite, courteous, has great patience with her clients, honest, knowledgeable and most of all a professional at what she does. I will refer and recommend her when ever I am asked, anything about mortgages.
