Deciding to do a reverse mortgage is an important step. Mary Jo helped me make that decision. She knows her business and was very knowledgeable and empathetic. I'm happy that I was referred to her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mary Jo for over a decade. She treats her customers like family and ensures they are well taken care of from start to finish. She truly cares about the well being of her customers and takes pride in giving the best service possible.

Mary Jo truly is one of the best reverse mortgage consultants in the business! She is highly knowledgeable, extremely ethical, and very personable. I recently had an opportunity to refer a customer who really needed a bit more "hand-holding". Mary Jo alleviated this woman's stress by helping her select the program that best fit her needs, being there when she had questions, and remaining available to answer any future questions she might have. She is a true professional. Thank you, Mary Jo!

My wife and I had some initial doubts about applying for a reverse mortgage. The process has its share of complications and we were looking for someone who could explain things clearly and, even more important, be completely trustworthy.
Mary Jo was the perfect choice. She was always available to address our concerns and to hold our hands when puzzling issues arose. She was also quite objective in presenting the alternatives, like downsizing or moving to a less expensive area, so we never felt we were being "oversold." She was very helpful in reinforcing our decision to spend some money on sprucing up the house, which resulted in obtaining a higher appraisal than we had anticipated. Mary Jo is also an expert on the relatively recent development of the jumbo reverse mortgage, which can be very useful if you have a home with a somewhat higher value.
Finally, Mary Jo has assembled a team of associates who are truly a pleasure to work with: we'd like to give a shout out to Stacey Beehler and Christina Roselini!
So if you want to shift into reverse with no grinding of gears, Mary Jo's the one!

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.

I have not met as competent and prepared reverse mortgage specialist as Mary Jo Lafaye. As a broker selling homes I come across questions, concerns and needs for more information regarding reverse mortgages frequently. When I do there is only one person I will call. That's because I know that anyone I refer will be handled with the utmost care. When I seek the information myself, Mary Jo helps me look amazingly knowledgeable with my clients. She is everything I look for in a professional when I consider aligning my business and theirs.
The world of reverse mortgages has changed significantly over the years and I suspect that with boomers aging and the early Gen-Xer's stretching towards retirement age it will continue to evolve. That means you need an expert. Call Mary Jo Lafaye and make sure you get it right.

I have referred several people to Mary Jo, and they have all raved about her. A couple of them were rather complicated, but I witnessed how she worked closely with them to guide them through the process. I have a much better understanding about the pros and cons of reverse-mortgages after spending time with Mary Jo. She definitely knows her stuff.
