Walt Simpson - Movement Mortgage - NMLS 349509 James Madison Hwy, Troy

About a year ago, do to a separation and divorce, I was reluctantly considering selling my home. One of the realtors I contacted was an exceptionally knowledgeable and understanding lady - Cynthia Hash of Keller Williams. During our conversations, she mentioned that as she understood my situation, perhaps I would be more interested in a reverse mortgage. And as I istened to her, I became so inclined. She said that Walt Simpson was her recommendation of the person to talk with as he had worked with all of the traditional mortgage programs, yet also knew quite a lot about reverse mortgages and how they could be used. When I called him, he came out to meet me and explained the process and overall program as well as how I could use it. And then he gave me the time and "space" to come to my own decision. He never tried to "sell" me on any one approach. I think I appreciate that as much as anything he did. Once I made my decision to proceed, Walt was able to navigate my unusual ownership situation and recommend other accomplished professionals to solve issues in which he had limited background. In short, he was able to guide me through the process from information stage to closing and help me to remain in my home where I wanted to be with a greatly improved financial position. In retrospect, I was very fortunate to have met up with Walt Simpson through Cynthia Hash. I would not want to long consider what other paths I might have followed otherwise.

I have sold and purchased my share of real-estate in my life time, and therefore have dealt with my share of real-estate professionals. I can quite honestly say that my experience in working with Walt Simpson has been a breath of fresh air. He has been on top of everything in the servicing of our business transaction and I feel very confidant and comfortable in knowing that I can trust him....explicitly. He communicates with me and updates me regularly, and I know that nothing will be overlook or forgotten. He is knowledgeable in his field and I have no reservation, what so ever in recommending him to friends and family to take care of their real-estate needs. I give him five stars......outstanding work Walt !!

My wife and I recently purchased a home utilizing the FHA 203K loan. Walt Simpson at Movement Mortgage made the process incredibly easy to navigate. Rarely did we have to contact him for anything, as he was always keeping us up to date on the status of our loan. Even after the loan closed, he maintained contact to see how the renovations were coming along. Whether you are a first time home buyer, like my wife and me, or you have purchased several homes before, I would highly encourage using the services of Walt Simpson and the team at Movement Mortgage.

Walt Simpson helped my mom qualify and process through getting a reverse mortgage. Nursing home costs had depleted funds and it was the only way that she could stay in her home. He could not have been more accommodating to our individual situation. Walt came out to house so my mom would not have to be uncomfortable processing things in an unfamiliar office. He was interested in doing the best for our individual situation. Walt was very patient with our mom who is in her 80's - very clear explaining and patient in repeating or answering questions – sometimes the same ones several times. Walt seemed like a family friend by the end of the process. He answered questions outside the work day including weekends. He was basically on call 24/7 whenever we had questions and never made us feel like we were bothering him. After we finished the process – several months later – we had a change and some questions and Walt was just as accommodating even though he was no longer responsible for this next phase in the process. Walt never felt like a salesman. We never felt pressured to decide anything we were uncomfortable with. Walt gave us enough information but also the time and space to make choices in our own way at our own pace. Overall, he was thorough, assessable, and very user friendly.

Earlier this year we were planning a move to Virginia from Rhode Island. We’d been working with Cynthia Hash of Keller Williams and she recommended that we call Walt Simpson with Movement Mortgage. Once we had presented our “situation” (retired, moving to a new state with no current job for one of us, ownership of two other homes in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, etc.,) Walt considered the many programs he has available to him and discovered that given our unusual situation using a reverse mortgage to buy our new home was the only way we could do so at this time. We had heard of reverse mortgages but didn’t know a lot about them and certainly didn’t realize you could buy a home with one. Walt explained the program and how it works and why other alternatives wouldn’t work for us and why using this type of loan would. While qualifying for this type of loan is pretty simple our particular situation required a lot of extra care and attention. Walt made sure that anything that might be needed was taken care of before it was called for. He worked hard to stay a step ahead of what was going on in the process and keep us and Cynthia informed along the way all over long distance between Virginia and Rhode Island. He was available by phone at odd hours and to meet with us whenever we came to town and even stepped up on closing day to help correct and error in communication that threatened to delay things. We are very happy that we were introduced to Walt and with our decision to use this type of mortgage to buy our new home in Virginia. We are grateful to Cynthia Hash for knowing that Walt had the knowledge to work with multiple programs and help us find the one that worked for us. We can honestly say that if we hadn’t met Walt and Cynthia we may yet be trying to find and buy a home in Virginia. Jack Durning and Mary Ann Tavares

My wife needed extended managed care in a nursing home and I had been working with an ElderCare lawyer for years. I soon realized I would be more comfortable with financial relief because of the anticipated longer term Nursing Home situation. The obvious was to refinance. I conferenced with a local national bank manager of refinancing and regardless of the low interest costs, savings were minimal. She stated consider Reverse Mortgage, since she recently guided her mother and mother-inlaw through this process. Thence I found Walt Simpson. My situation was legally complicated and as we progressed I felt comfortable maneuvering through the process. I liked his honesty and he was "direct". If there was a question, he would state " I will get the answer " ; and did. Or, suggest a alternative if it was outside his professional expertise. No, he did not have all the answers, nevertheless he sought and found answers. He was professional. I wish you success, Walt

He followed through before and after each step of the process. I highly recommend Walt for the reverse mortgage process. I feel we really did the right thing with the right guy.

Thank you very much for your guidance through the reverse mortgage process. As you know my final retirement depended on being able to eliminate our mortgage payment.

Your help allowed me to achieve my goal of retiring this past March. Again, thank you for everything you did for us. We will certainly recommend you and your services to anyone we know contemplating any kind of mortgage and certainly a reverse mortgage. Ella and Sharn Perry
