Washington Reverse Mortgage
Helping Washington Homeowners 62+ Turn Home Equity Into Financial Freedom
A reverse mortgage can be a powerful retirement tool when itβs done right. At Washington Reverse Mortgage, we help homeowners across Washington State understand their options clearly, honestly, and without pressure β so you can decide what works best for your retirement goals.
What Is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage allows homeowners age 62 or older to convert a portion of their home equity into cash β without monthly mortgage payments.
Instead of making payments to a lender, the loan balance increases over time and is typically repaid when:
-
The home is sold
-
The borrower moves out permanently
-
Or the borrower passes away
You always retain title to your home, and the loan is non-recourse, meaning you or your heirs will never owe more than the home is worth.
