I'm offering my help for our Seniors

The government has just announced there will be NO INCREASE in Social Security payments next year. That effects 71 million Americans or nearly 20 percent of the entire population of this great country.   Unfortunately, most of those who will have to adjust to this announcement are seniors.

I want to help our seniors.   Many of them are struggling with financial issues and often they don't know where to turn for help.   For many, Social Security is their only source of income.   The reality is, not all seniors are in a position to be helped, but I want to do what I can.

I have at my disposal, loan products that can help seniors deal with this change.   Whether considering the need to Refinance, looking at the option of a Reverse Mortgage or thinking about doing a Home Equity loan; any decision should be based on good, sound financial advice.   I am here offering to share with you that advice.

Let's sit down and talk.   Any senior within the state of Virginia is potentially my customer as I am LICENSED statewide.   I would be glad to discuss these matters with any senior here that is worried about the future and trying to figure out how they should move forward financially in this environment.

This is only the 3rd time this has occurred in the last 40 years.   Not having a COLA increase can seem small when looking at the specific dollar amount but when the average Social Security check is less than $1,300.00 a month; this is of major concern to the recipients.

I don't work for the government or the Social Security Administration.   I am not offering information on government benefits and the like but rather I am saying I will try to help seniors weather the financial storm this decision could create in their lives.

If I may be of assistance to any senior or to any concerned family members here in the state of Virginia, please call or email me and let's set up an appointment to talk.   Doing something positive financially can offset the possible negative impacts coming from this and make for a brighter future for seniors.

Please, keep in mind; every person's situation is different and unique.   No one solution will fix every problem and in some cases, it will be beyond my ability and products to resolve but, . . . . . . . .

Deanna our seniors always seem to get the short end of the stick.  They should remember that when they step into the voting both next month.

Deanna, it is so difficult to get any kind of information on reverse mortgages without giving away an awufl lot of private information.  It would be a gigantic help for seniors to have a web site that could give them information on how refinancing with a reverse mortgage could work for them.  Some are just interested in reducing or eliminating their mortgage payment, which I understand is one option.  Hmmm.  That would make a terrific blog post topic.

Reverse mortgages can be good and bad.   Since every client's situation is unique, I prefer we talk options face to face to be sure I get them the right option.

Good morning Deanna. There are many more companies offering reverse mortgages these day. Will have a post coming out on this topic.

The guidelines are much more restrictive for reverse mortgages, that will reduce the number of seniors that will actually qualify, unfortunately.

You are right, Joe.   Recent changes make it necessary to review each client individually.   Looking forward to your post.

I hope that those Seniors that need your help, take you up on your offer to visit with them about loan programs that would be beneficial to them.

I hope so too.   And before they get into a bad deal online or otherwise that they can't get out of without setbacks.

We all will be "seniors" sooner or later.   And we all will need help at some point.   I am offering my help while the opportunity exists.

Deanna, I think it's great that you want to help seniors and actually sit down with them to hear about their situation. Each one is unique and there's no one size fits all in this case.

Amanda S. Davidson is right.   I sit down and talk through each senior's life ambitions so I can create the right loan option to fit their individual situation and provide for a worry free future.
