Marina Watts, NMLS ID 1458297 - Reverse Mortgages - Santa Cruz & Greater Bay Area, CA Porter St, Soquel

From the very first contact I had with Marina Watts, at High Tech Lending, she came across as knowledgeable and professional. I had spoken to other reverse mortgage loan officers prior to contacting Marina, but she made a more positive impression from the very start. That first phone call I made was the start of a nine month long working relationship where she advised and guided me through securing a reverse mortgage on my behalf. Because I was also in the process of getting a divorce at the same time, it made the loan preparation challenging. To know I had Marina looking out for my best interest every step of the way, gave me the confidence I needed to see me through this challenge in my life. I cannot recommend, Marina, more highly. Her steadfast interest in her client's individual needs and wants makes her uniquely qualified to navigate her clients through one of the biggest decisions in their lives. After my divorce was finalized, and the mere fact that I am now able to continue living in and am now the sole owner of my home where I have lived for 34+ years, is a true testament to Marina's unwaivering support and knowledge. I feel what began as a professional relationship has now blossomed into a personal friendship.

A friend referred us to Marina Watts when we were looking at refinancing our reverse mortgage. Marina worked hard to earn our business and was thorough and professional throughout the process. We were glad we went with Marina and are looking at refinancing with her again! We always recommend her to our friends.

I highly recommend Marina! We have worked with her twice and both times have been extremely impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. She explains things patiently and clearly, which I really appreciate. She is personable and a genuinely nice reason. She has gone above and beyond to make sure we get the best terms. Thank you, Marina!

A friend had referred me to Marina for a reverse mortgage which I knew virtually nothing about. After meeting with her, my mind was set to ease and I felt ready to embark on the process. Respectively, Marina was patient and a true pro all the way through to the end. I have already referred her to one friend who was also very happy with her experience and highly recommend her to others.

I am updating this review because I recently re-financed my reverse with Marina. I so thoroughly appreciate her professionalism and her thoroughness. The re-finance process was seamless. She helped achieve a sense of financial security for me as I move into my retirement years. Marina was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the reverse mortgage process. She took the time to make sure that I understood all of the financial implications of a reverse mortgage and was very patient in answering all of my questions. I highly recommend working with Marina if you are trying to unlock some of the equity in your home.

A reverse mortgage is a big financial decision and an involved process, so it's important to have a trusted partner on the journey, and you couldn't ask for more than Marina. I just completed my loan with her and it actually closed SOONER than anticipated, largely due to Marina's efforts. She is very hardworking, knowlegeable, patient, accessible and committed to guiding you to the best product for your needs. Absolutely no pressure, and you clearly feel she is on your side. Last, but not least, she's a lovely, kind person.

Marina is a terrific pro, a super communicator, and an upstanding & honest person. She found the right reverse mortgage for us, and stayed with us every step of the way in what became a five-month odyssey. After getting to what we thought was the finish line and signing the first set of papers, the CZU Lightning Complex fire in Santa Cruz put the whole process on hold when we had to evacuate. Marina guided us through every step and found solutions to all problems that arose until we signed the second set of papers two months later. We are so happy we did this, our finances are in such better shape, and we can sleep soundly at night. I highly recommend her for reverse mortgages.

I have found Marina to be very knowledgeable about reverse mortgages. She takes the time to thoroughly study the details of each person's financial situation. She does her homework! As a result, she was able to offer varied solutions to my retirement needs. I felt secure that Marina had my best interests in mind at all times.

The experience of working with Marina Watts on a reverse mortgage was everything such an experience should be. She was excellent in communicating with us -always responded promptly -and really knew her material. We also felt her to be generous and kind and totally professional. What more can one ask for? We received a great loan in a reasonable amount of time. We recommend her highly. Chris Tedesco and Melita Cowie
