For Reverse Mortgages: Charges such as an origination fee, mortgage insurance premiums, closing costs and/or servicing fees, if applicable, may be assessed and will be added to the loan balance. As long as you comply with the terms of the loan, you retain title until you sell or transfer the property, and, therefore, you are responsible for paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance. Failing to pay these amounts may cause the loan to become immediately due and/or subject the property to a tax lien, other encumbrance or foreclosure. The loan balance grows over time, and interest is added to that balance. Interest on a reverse mortgage is not deductible from your income tax until you repay all or part of the interest on the loan. Although the loan is non-recourse, at the maturity of the loan, the lender will have a claim against your property and you or your heirs may need to sell the property in order to repay the loan, or use other assets to repay the loan in order to retain the property.

I had the pleasure of working with John Young and Jeanmarie Bostick. They are both very knowledgeable and professional. Working together, we were able to reach my goals.

After some hurdles at the beginning of my application, I stopped perusing the loan. After a couple of weeks your Paramus Senior Loan Originator, Mr. John Young, saw my application and got in touch with me encouraging me to continue with it because he was positive that the hurdles could be overcome, which I believe could be with his knowledge and positive disposition. Thanks to his knowledge, patience, hard work and encouragement we went ahead and reached a happy ending, my loan was approved.
Want to say that you have an amazing Senior Loan Originator on Mr. John Young and want to thank him for all his efforts and encouragement.
Also, would like to thank Longbridge Financial for its transparency in dealing with all the phases of my loan. I would highly recommend your company and most of all Mr. John Young.

These people are predators. They take advantage of people that can least afford it and make you incur expenses that can't be paid. Steer clear of them.

What made our experience great was the patience and directions given to us by our Agent Lesley Citrarella from the start. We were looking to reduce our expenses. She helped us through all the steps. We were extremely pleased with her attention and service. It was our first home loan in 20 years. The Reverse Mortgage package worked out great.
Thank you and your associates again.
Best Regards,
Lance & Leslie Beem

Both Paloma Remington and Alyssa D'Auria were extraordinary in terms of addressing my issues which in some cases were unique. They constantly kept me informed and I felt they had my best interest in every conversation. I would strongly recommend this team to anyone !

My loan was not straightforward. Melissa Tofighi got the ball rolling. Jeanmarie Bostick was the engine in the background to keep things moving in a positive way. Underwriting was a little slow but everything was good in the end. Kudo's to Longbridge and staff to make it happen.

The professional standards adhered to by both Melissa Tofighi and the processor Jeanmarie Bostick was outstanding. My emails were answered punctually, and they always had my answers at hand. Callbacks were always delivered as promised. Things were always explained to me in a manner that was easily understood making the whole process much easier than I had expected. Without question I would recommend your services to anyone who enquires.

My husband and I helped out 87 year old aunt with her reverse mortgage in order for her to be able to stay at her house. We feel so lucky to get Paloma Remington as our loan officer. She was so clear with everything and communicated with us throughout the whole process. Paloma and the loan processor (Alyssa D A’auiria) worked their magic and got us to closing and funded within about 6 weeks.
Paloma answered all our questions and she is very knowleadgable. She is always available through phone calls or email, and she even gave us her personal cell to make sure she is always available for us.
We could not be happier with Paloma and Alyssa. They really went above and beyond for us. We didn’t think it would be possible to get the whole thing done in the short period of time considering we were against time. But again, they made it possible for us.
Thank you Paloma and Alyssa. We appreciate all your hard work to get us through this process.
John and Sugi

I’m writing this review to state how pleased I was with obtaining my Reverse Mortgage with Longbridge Financial and the pleasant experience I had working with the Loan Officers Dina Naughton and Christine Hubbard. What I thought would be a long drawn out process was completed within weeks Dina and Christine were always prompt and responsive throughout the process and were always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have had during the mortgage process. I would recommend anyone considering a reverse mortgage to consider Longbridge Financial.

Recently helped my mother to secure a reverse mortgage through Longbridge. came down to Longbridge or Mutual of Omaha. Went with Longbridge because of the loan officer, Paloma Remington. Paloma was great to my mother. She was friendly and personable. Made her feel comfortable and never pushed. She was also super knowledgeable and professional. Just knew her stuff 110%. She also kept us in the loop the whole time. Told us what was happening and what to expect next. It made a huge difference. My mother is in her 80s and there was a lot she didnt know. But Paloma was super patient. She carefully guided my mother through the process, translating everything into terms that made sense to my mother. It was just a super pleasant experience.

From start to the surprisingly quick finish, working with Longbridge on my Senior HELOC was the best loan experience I have ever had. Ryan Krolick, my loan officer was friendly, supportive and incredibly helpful every step of the way. The application was straight forward, the paperwork was minimal and when I needed help with it, Ryan was available to walk me through the process. The website is also very, very good and helpful.

John Young and his processor, Ivette Harvey, did a very thorough job putting my HECM LOAN closing together in a "timely fashion." John was/is always available when an issue or question came up. I thought he demonstrated excellent communication skills, and didn't leave me hanging. So far, I am very happy with Longbridge's services.

My personal loan adviser, Melissa Tofighi, was terrific! This loan had lots of twists and turns and she successfully handled all of them to my satisfaction. She was always keen to my concerns and handled all of them with a smile. Very professional!
Jeanmarie Bostick, in the underwriting department, was also very professional and easy to work with, often gently making me understand the quirks of the process and the legal requirements. Nice work, ladies!

After struggling with debt due to medical issues, I started researching financial organizations for help. When I contacted Longbridge Financial and the senior loan originator, John Henry, I knew immediately I had come to the right place. John was not only very professional but was also kind, caring, and well versed in the finance industry. He explained the numerous options to me and I was soon on my way to financial freedom. He walked me every step of the way and, in less than two months, I can now breathe easily again. The other employees I dealt with were knowledgeable, courteous, and extremely friendly. Longbridge is definitely a well oiled organization. I hope everyone struggling with financial hardship will pick up the phone and contact this organization. You won't regret it.

I was very happy with Longbridge Financial for my Reverse Mortgage and my loan officer Troy Casalone. The process was long and more involved than I would ever have thought, but he was very quick with responses and answers to all of my questions. I also give praise to Jeanmarie Bostick. She was very helpful also and I would recommend this company highly.

Hello, just wanted to express my gratitude to Longbridge Financial on two exemplary employees who I had the pleasure of dealing with while processing my reverse mortgage. Both Dina Naughton and Wilda Lopez were nothing but professional and helpful thru the entire process. If only there were more people like this that make the process so smooth. Appreciate them both!
