After 17 years in the marketing industry, Ann started selling reverse mortgages when she helped her own mother get one 3 years ago. Her mother was 84 then and had gone through the money her husband left her when he died in 1977. She was always worrying about money and how she would handle any emergencies. A reverse mortgage was the perfect answer for her and now Ann wants to make sure that all seniors know about them. A reverse mortgage is the only option that provides money to seniors and allows them to stay in their home yet requires no monthly payment.

As she took on more and more of her mother’s care and finances, she discovered that her borrowers were all struggling with the same issues. She draws on her experience with her mother to help her borrowers find answers to questions about things like Medicare, Medicaid, the high cost of medications and health insurance. Ann tries to treat every one of her borrowers with the same care she gives her mom. She is dedicated to helping seniors stay in their own home as long as they want to, as comfortably as they can and with minimal financial worries.
