Dave Schulte was our advisor for our reverse mortgage. The experience we had was fantastic. Everything was explained and went smoothly. We were traveling in our RV for a 30 day trip. We live in California and Dave arranged for the final signing in Utah at our RV site. Thank you Dave. Ed & Virginia Dingman

Hi Ed and Virginia, Thanks for providing feedback. We try to be as flexible as possible and do everything we can to meet the special requirements of our customers. Great to hear your signing could be arranged even though it was in another state. -GoodLife Home Loans
I worked with Chris Lee, and could not have found a better person. He answered my many questions, even when I asked them three or four times. The time difference was a little hard, so a lot of return call was made. Chris is the type of person who you wished were you, next door neighbor,

Hi Sara, Thanks for the feedback. Education and answering questions is a very important part of getting a reverse mortgage, so we make sure to spend as much time on that as needed. We are located in California but work hard to make any time differences as small an issue as possible. -GoodLife Home Loans

I have worked with many mortgage and financial companies over my life, and I must say that this was the most honest, enjoyable process ever. Chris Lee is an outstanding person and advisor. His care and personal attention was incomparable. He was with me every step of the way -- answering all my questions, explaining things in detail, understanding of my concerns and issue. And always, very accessible. I would recommend him highly, and GoodLife as a fantastic company to work with. My reverse mortgage was official today!
