About Us:
I am the authority on Reverse Mortgages in the Northeast region of the U.S. I have been in the mortgage industry since 1997 and have been involved in all facets of the mortgage market. I transformed my company from a mortgage broker closing less than $300 miilion per year into a direct lender closing over $1.3 Biliion in 2005 (with about a billion closing in my department) I have been specializing in Reverse Mortgages since 2007 and I am very excited about the product and how it is helping so many people.

Testimonials
My mother was about to lose her home to foreclosure when we were contacted by Michael Pinter about a better alternative. Michael Pinter worked for months to negotiate both of her mortgages down and got her a Reverse Mortgage to pay them both off. Now she owes much less than she did before, she has no monthly payments to make and she can live in her home without worrying about getting foreclosed on or gettting harassed by a lender.

We fell on some hard times and our home was in foreclosure from two mortgages that we had taken. We thought that we were going to lose our home. Michael Pinter showed us how a Reverse Mortgage could save us. He negotiated both liens down and got us a Reverse Mortgage to pay them both off. Now we have no monthly mortgage payments, no mortgage companies bothering us and we know that we can stay in our home for as long as we want to. We cannot express how grateful we are.

My Mother's home was in foreclosure and we thought that she would have to sell it and find another place to live. Michael Pinter was unbelievable and worked for months to negotiate the second and first mortgages down and got her a Reverse Mortgage to pay them both off to allow her to stay in her home for as long as she wants to. Michael did not give up, even when I wanted to, and now she owes much less than she did and we don't have to worry about where she is going to live
Carmen Gomez, Plainfield, NJ
My home was in foreclosure and First Meridian and Michael Pinter saved it for me. Michael negotiated the first and second liens down to where the Reverse Mortgage proceeds would cover them. I now have no payments and the peace and security of knowing that I can live in my home for as long as I want to.
Samuel Santalis, Central Islip, NY
Michael Pinter and First Meridian were great! The Reverse Mortgage that they got me paid off my Home Equity Line of Credit, my Home Improvement loan and my credit cards. I got $5,000 at closing and I will still get over $1,100 a month for as long as I live in my home. It is nice to know that instead of getting bills each month, my debts are paid and I will be getting a check instead.
William Hunt, Queens, NY
Michael Pinter and First Meridian really helped me out. As my expenses grew, I was having a hard time keeping up with my bills on my fixed income. It didn't make sense for me to struggle when I was sitting on a lot of equity in my Co-op. They got me the money I needed to feel secure again. Michael was very helpful and came over to my apartment several times; once just to explain some documents that I had received in the mail. It is nice to know that I can meet my obligations, that I will have a line of credit that I can access in the future, and no paymnets to make for any of it.

Michael Pinter went above and beyond the call of duty for me. I was having a hard time keeping up with my bills and I decided to take a reverse Mortgage on my Co-op that i own free and clear. Michael came to my home several times to explian how it worked and he got me a commitment quickly. unfortunately, my Co-op board denied it. Michael did not give up and assured me he was going to fight their unjust decision and appealed to the members of the Co-op and the managing agent. Together we worked on it for seven months and eventually they agreed to allow the loan. Now i can feel secure, remain in my home and know that I can meet my obligations. I will have a cushion to feel safe about my finances and I won't have to make any monthly payments for any of it.

Michael Pinter and First Meridian helped me feel secure. It was getting harder for me to keep up with all of the rising costs and I decided to take a Reverse mortgage on my home and pay off both of my current mortgages. Michael came to my home and explained how it worked. Michael worked with my attorney to help me feel confident that my property would be safe and my daughter would be be protected. Now I can feel secure and not have any more mortgage payments and I will have a line of credit avaialble to me in case of any emergency.

Michael Pinter and First Meridian were great. As costs for everything kept going up, I looked into the possibility of taking a Reverse Mortgage and paying off my current loan. I inquired with several lenders and Michael was clearly the best. he came to my home several times and explained how a Reverse mortgage worked. I paid off my loan and saved over $1,200 a month. I also have $95,000 available in a line of credit that I can use for anything that I want.
Melvin Spruill, Jamiaca, NY
Michael Pinter came to my home for a consultation and in less than five minutes told me that a Reverse Mortgage was not right for me. I told him that I was moving within a year or two and he told me that the costs would outweigh the benfits. He didn't put any pressure on me and was very professional.
Edna C., Brooklyn, NY
My daughter contacted Michael Pinter about a Reverse Mortgage for me last year and unfortunately I could not get enough to pay off my existing loan at that time. Michael called us this year to say that the limits were raised and I could get enough now. Michael was great, he explained everything to me and my daughters and I got about $20,000 more at the closing than he initially told me I would. It is nice to know that I can stay in my home for as long as I want to and I will never get a monthly mortgage bill again.
Gwendolyn Stone, Brooklyn, NY
I knew I needed a Reverse Mortgage and as soon as I met with Michael Pinter I knew I had found the right guy for the job. Michael was professional and got my loan closed in less than a month. I got what I needed at closing even though my home appraised for a little less than I thought it would. I would recommend Michael Pinter and First Meridian to anyone.
