Real Talk About the SoCal Estate of Mind with Host Wendy Ross: After decades of working at a variety of real estate brokerages in Silicon Valley and Orange County, Wendy decided it was time to create a different real estate business model, so she did! That’s when Veracity Real Estate Co. entered the market. The time was ripe for a renewed commitment to bespoke client advocacy at all price levels, seldom available within high-cost luxury markets. Wendy has built a company of data-driven real estate investment advisers who are truth-seekers and -tellers. What you’ll hear time and time again is that Wendy and her team provide their clients with facts and data derived from practical local real estate analysis. They even study international luxury trends so clients make the best-informed decisions for themselves and their family legacies. Every week, Wendy asks notable names to join her in providing a behind-the-scenes analysis of the SoCal real estate market. Wendy looks at the market a bit differently, and so do her guests. We’re sharing what the industry knows… and sometimes what the industry doesn’t want you to know… but she does, because your home will be your best investment if you know how the game is played.

Why a Reverse Mortgage?
Forget everything you think you know about reverse mortgage loans and listen to Pete Tentler, known as The Financial Locksmith, explore this often misunderstood way to unlock equity in your home.
Reverse mortgage loans are commonly used to pay for home renovations, medical and daily living expenses. Homeowners who have an existing mortgage often use the reverse mortgage loan to pay off their existing mortgage and eliminate monthly mortgage payments.
A reverse mortgage loan uses a home’s equity as collateral. The amount of money the borrower can receive is determined by the age of the youngest borrower, interest rates and the lesser of the home’s appraised value, sale price and the maximum lending limit.
In this episode, host Wendy Ross interviews Pete about his experiences in this industry and explores the benefits of reverse mortgages.
