Presented by Liz McNeel, Keller Williams and Founder of Houston Senior Living Series 

Senior Series is a series of conversations with local experts focused on the unique and complex housing related issues facing mature homeowners and their families.  This month’s topic is The Truth About Reverse Mortgages.  

Are you curious about reverse mortgages and how they might fit into your retirement plan?  Join us as we cut through the myths and help you understand how reverse mortgages work and whether it’s the right choice for you.  Learn the fundamentals of reverse mortgages; understand the eligibility requirements and types of reverse mortgages; discover the benefits and risks, including how they impact your estate, heirs, and financial planning; understand the costs and fees associated with reverse mortgages; hear real-life examples of how reverse mortgages have helped individuals; and gain insight into common misconceptions and pitfalls, so you can make an informed decision. This seminar is designed to provide seniors and their families with the truthful, practical information they need to determine if a reverse mortgage is a good option for them. 

Liz McNeel, with Keller Williams Metropolitan and Founder of the Houston Senior Living Series will moderate a panel of experts in exploring this topic.  This program is geared toward older adults and their family members. It is free and open to the public.  No registration required.
