Four Key Things to Expect at Closing

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the reverse mortgage process, and now it’s time for the final step—closing. To help you prepare, I’ve put together a quick video (about 5 minutes) explaining what happens next.

1. A Visit from a Notary or Title Agent

A notary or title agent will meet with you—either at your home or another convenient location—to oversee the signing of final documents.

2. Signing Your Name (A Lot!)

Be ready to sign multiple documents, including final loan agreements, legal disclosures, and any remaining paperwork to complete your reverse mortgage.

3. Confirming How You Want Your Money

If you’re receiving funds from your reverse mortgage, you’ll confirm the details of how you’d like to receive them—whether as a lump sum, a line of credit, or monthly payments.

4. A Moment to Celebrate!

Closing marks the beginning of a new financial chapter. Whether you’re increasing cash flow, securing a financial safety net, or eliminating mortgage payments, take a moment to celebrate this important step!
