Our certified, HUD approved, and award-winning homeownership specialists can offer free advice and help you create a plan that gets you back on track.

Refinance Counseling
Whether it’s refinancing or another alternative, the homeownership specialists’ goal is to share information and help you to make an informed decision. Additionally, Refinance Counseling may be a requirement of qualifying for the new loan. Homeownership specialists will discuss your reasons for refinancing, the benefits (and costs) of doing so, compare your existing and proposed mortgage(s) and the conditions of any subordination agreements. The homeowner specialist will walk through the pros and cons of alternative options, and help you understand the key terms of the mortgage that you should know and compare at closing. At the end of counseling, you’ll receive a Refinance Counseling Certificate.

Reverse Mortgage (HECM) Counseling
Are you 62 or older? Do you own your home free and clear or just have a small mortgage against your property? Would you like to access some of the equity in your home without adding a loan payment to your budget or having to sell your home? A reverse mortgage allows you to do this.
Consumers seeking a reverse mortgage are required to be counseled by a HUD-certified HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) counselor prior to a formal application with a lender.
What does a counseling session look like? We will help you understand what reverse mortgages are, how they work, and what they cost. We will outline the pros and cons and discuss with you the alternatives that may be available. We can also provide resources and referrals to other programs or services in the area.
Our goal is to answer your questions and leave you with information that helps you make the best decision for you and your family. We encourage you to bring family members as well – in our experience, they often have questions too!
To ask questions or schedule an appointment, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Or give one of our homeowner specialists a call at 651-202-2822.
