Reverse mortgages are now commonplace. This is not surprising as they provide useful financial solutions for your clients in certain circumstances, such as for some clients with real estate equity but little cashflow. Learn about how reverse mortgages work, who qualifies for a reverse mortgage, and the cost involved. Learn as to when a reverse mortgage might not be the best option for your client. All mortgage brokers should have a solid understanding of reverse mortgages as part of their toolbox in advising clients.

Our speakers, Lisa Alentejano and Simone McMillan, are well equipped to assist you in obtaining the needed information. Lisa is Equitable Bank’s BC Region Business Manager and Simone is the Reverse Mortgages Regional Channel Manager for BC and Alberta. Equitable Bank has consistently been a major player in this space since 1970.

Our moderator will keep the discussion focused on matters of particular importance to you, drawing not only on their own considerable knowledge and experience but as informed by you and our other attendees asking questions in real time.

This webinar will make you a more informed and complete broker. It will make you better able to conduct your business. We look forward to seeing you!
