Colorado Reverse Mortgage Park Cir, Boulder

Ed ;-) Thank goodness most transactions do not have the complications (and drama) that yours did. I absolutely could not have done my job if you were not so actively involved. Fortunately you and I dug our heels in and got many things taken care of in the process. I must be fair and split the credit, pats-on-the-back, and attaboys fairly for getting this file to closing 70/30. 70 (you) and 30 (me). Without your (and a nod to a few others) hard work, persistence and kindness, all that was accomplished would not have come together. If you weren't enjoying your retirement, you've got the heart to make an excellent loan officer! Whenever you make it to my neck of the woods, let's grab a bite.

Ms. McG, your positive attitude and naturally joyous outlook is contagious. I am glad to know you and look forward to our next visits. Keep smiling!

Ms. C, Between the changing HECM max claim amount, evacuating your home literally 3 hours after the home was appraised, reinspection of the property to verify it wasn't lost in the New Year's Eve fire, second appraisals, catching Covid, and the unexpected loss of your husband, I can't think of a more stressful period of time. Fortunately with the support of your wonderful family and friends, you rolled with the punches. Even though you clearly are a strong person, I hope you're given a break and have peace of mind for many years. If you ever need assistance or input and it is within my abilities, you know I'm here for you. Goooo Mets! ;-) -mace

M-, I enjoyed our conversations and am glad to know a bit about you personally. From my perspective, you are a role-model and influencer. We've got similar interests but you've got a bit more free time to ski on Friday and surf on Sunday. So until I retire, I'll have to live vicariously through you... send me a pic every once in a while to continue to inspire me and give me a smile. I hope to see you around town. Give me a holler anytime. -m

Miz S., Thank you. Those are lovely words from a lovely person... I know we'll be visiting more in the future! 'nuff said for now. -mace

D&A, Thanks for the 5 stars! I'm glad that once you found my website, you chose to give me a call and learned that bigger doesn't mean better. Long ago I worked for larger lenders and personally experienced their processes and ideologies. I wasn't a fan and prefer a more personal touch and believe my clients feel the same. Your stress levels went down and comfort went up! To top it off, you got a much faster transaction, a lower rate, lower fees, and more money than your previous lender was willing to provide. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to earn your business; I believe this was a win/win for us both! I'm sorry Kara wasn't able to join us, but getting out of the office to meet you and Ann in Golden for the closing was fun. I always prefer to shake my client's hands and be able to express my appreciation face to face whenever possible. As you know... Call me anytime you have questions or need guidance. Enjoy your "retirement" and "Keep on Truckin!'" ;-) Take care, mace

Greg, Thanks for the attaboy! We got to know each other a bit over the course of the transaction. I'm happy that we were able to get the 20-year old error on your title corrected. However, my favorite part of the loan application was when we finally got to meet and were able to shake hands. And, yes, of course I am always available to you if you need advice as long as we keep the discussion focused on finance, PMs, beekeeping, kombucha brewing and grilling! Give me a holler anytime. -m

Birds of a feather flock together, right? As previously mentioned, I look forward to us both checking in on each other occasionally. Remind your mom to send me a picture of the "big-foot cookie" (she'll know) she's going to make. ;-) Stay strong! mace

You made it easy for me to look good! Whenever I needed a document or extra signature, several times I hardly hung up the phone before getting an email with the document attached. Education and communication are paramount for a smooth home purchase transaction. Buying a home with a reverse mortgage is not complicated, but it is different than what most real estate professionals are used to. Fortunately, the Realtors asked plenty of questions and learned the differences; they were both very responsive and I appreciated it. I wish the same could be said for the Title company, but they ultimately came around! Bottom line... Welcome to Colorado and I hope you love it as much as we do! Remember... I'm here if you ever need me. Take care, Mace

Some of my clients don’t have a Gmail account, so I appreciate a relative taking the time to give me 5-star review on Google on behalf of your family. Being a family of engineers, you all had lots of great questions and it was fun to take “the Clan” through the process at such a deep level. The equity in a home is usually the largest asset. This “Home Pension” concept may assist in retirement years. The more people I help understand the Reverse Mortgage product, the faster we can overcome the many misconceptions. If your family ever needs a “refresher”, just give me a buzz! Take care, mk.
