Reverse Mortgage Testimonials

Isiah S, Inglewood, CA

I call myself the road runner because my reverse mortgage changed my life. I was able to save my home from foreclosure and now enjoy traveling around the country to visit my family and friends. The folks at Allwest really helped turn things around for me. Now I have the freedom to live my life without worry. Phil & Ilene are professionals, honest and have hearts as big as the outdoors.

Personally, I think getting a reverse mortgage is the right thing to do – it’s time to think about your self and stop worrying about trying to leave it all to the kids. Phil was helpful and caring. He patiently explained everything to me and my kids so we all understood how everything works. The best thing is I can pick up the phone at any time and call them with any questions even though my loan closed long ago – they are still there for me.

My airline pension got cut and I had to find a way to make ends meet. I was referred to Ilene who is kind, CAring and honest. With the reverse mortgage, my finances are in order and I have the peace of mind that I can stay in my home for as long as I live without making a mortgage payment. Thank you Ilene, you’re the best!

Phil let us talk about our financial concerns and that we wanted to remain in our home. Not only did he suggest a reverse mortgage, but gave us good advice about budgeting and making the most out of the money we had available. He and his wife are kind, understanding and professional and helped us feel very comfortable about getting a reverse mortgage. They listened to us and provided us with a solution that has worked for us. We recommend them highly.

I was in the middle of an ugly divorce when I first contacted Ilene. I needed to buy out my ex-wife's interest in my home and do it quickly. Ilene met with me immediately, contacted the attorneys involved and I got the loan before my deadline occurred. Beside being sympathetic and understanding, she was very efficient and professional. She never misses my birthday, keeps in touch and is a pleasure to know.

My husband was still alive when I first contact Phil about a reverse mortgage. We needed more money to pay for his growing medical care needs. Having access to the money provided by the reverse helped make our lives less stressful. When my husband passed away I called Phil for more financial advice. I wanted to know how to use the remaining money from the reverse mortgage for my current and future needs. Both Phil and Ilene are always there for me, patiently helping me even though it is long after the loan closed. Phil & Ilene are the real deal – they are people with integrity, honesty and big hearts.

The first time I talked to Ilene on the phone, we discussed our love for roses. When she came to my home, she brought me a bouquet from her garden. I immediately felt I had found a friend. She met with my daughter and I, asked us a lot of questions and then fully explained how the reverse mortgage would make my life more secure. She described all the features in easy and understandable terms. I was very comfortable talking to Ilene who is honest, sincere and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend using the people at Allwest; it is refreshing to work with people who have your best interest at heart.

When I retired many years ago, I thought I had a secure financial retirement plan. The recent financial crisis rapidly changed my life; my mortgage payment became a burden as my retirement savings have substantially decreased. I have lived in my townhouse for many years and have no desire to relocate. A friend recommended I speak with Ilene who had successfully helped her. We set up an appointment, Ilene came to my home. She listened intently and gently and professionally explained reverse mortgages to me. What the reverse mortgage has done for me is to allow me to stay in my house forever! I will have a monthly income plus and line of credit to use if needed. My anxiety is gone and I am once again financially comfortable. My heirs will still inherit a good sum.

I would whole heartedly and without reservation, recommend Ilene Fischer for anyone considering a reverse mortgage. This loan has brought back my peace of mind and will allow me to remain financially independent.
