Just as our nation is politically divided many homeowners have a strong cognitive bias against reverse mortgages. In such circumstances it’s not what you say, it’s what they hear.

Hi Shannon, once again your message this morning was excellent and very true.

So right!!! I just had a potential client completely misunderstand what I presented. Yes, I do need more training and really appreciate it when others, even other HECM L.O.s listen in and give me advise.
Well said Shannon. When I got into this business, I couldn’t have imagined the degree of misinformation that plagues our market … and our clients NEED our solutions so badly!! I mean … if Coronavirus didn’t remind you of how quickly things can change, nothing will. So I decided that rather than asking others to “do as I say”, I’d suggest that they “do as I DO”. That’s right, I took out a reverse mortgage myself, to experience what my borrowers were experiencing, and to BUY INTO the product for real.
Am I a better communicator now than I was before? Maybe so. Am I an evangelist … tried by fire … 100% committed … with real skin in the game? Yes indeed!
Thank you Jim! Congratulations on setting the example by doing!
