Who This Is Right For

- California and Arizona homeowners 55+ (for proprietary programs) or 62+ (for HECM) who want a locally-based California CRMP with deep community knowledge
This may NOT be the right fit if:
- There is no situation where understanding California-specific reverse mortgage details would be inappropriate — California's unique market requires California-specific expertise
Common Misconception
Myth: A national call center knows the California reverse mortgage market as well as a locally-based CRMP.
Fact: California's seven specific differences — cooling-off period, community property, Prop 19, CalHFA, PACE, wildfire insurance, and the developed proprietary market — require community-level knowledge that a locally-based California CRMP develops through years of practice in specific submarkets.
