I would like to say that both Marie, my wife and I feel very fortunate to have made your acquaintance and proceeded with a Reverse Mortgage. You answered all of our questions regarding this type of home financing. You did not pressure us in anyway and the decision was entirely ours to make. In fact, the entire process from beginning to end seemed much simpler to execute than a typical refinance of our home. In addition, I feel fortunate to have completed this transaction; in this most difficult time of economic uncertainty our nation is experiencing. Thank you for your friendship and all of your assistance!
Just a note to tell you how much we appreciate all you have done for us during our plight in this stage of our life. Obtaining a Reverse Mortgage regarding our property of 35+ years was not an easy decision for us to make. However, due to your expertise, your knowledge, the many conversations with had with you – and the many questions you answered for us, we became secure in the knowledge that you shared with us. We were then able to make our decision – to look forward – never back. We don’t believe that people come into our lives by accident or mistake. We just adore you.
I am extremely happy and satisfied with the quality of service Bernie Ockrim provided to my family. Having a parent get ill and become unable to care for themselves is a very difficult and stressful time for the entire family. Bernie’s knowledge, caring, patience and compassion helped us through a difficult and confusing time. He knew what our family was going through and explained every detail to us, sometime many times over, on what a reverse mortgage could do for our father. My siblings and I never wanted to place our dad in a nursing home. The reverse mortgage has allowed my father to stay at in the comfort of his home with a care giver to take care of all his needs. I “HIGHLY” recommend Bernie Ockrim to anyone and everyone that is looking to acquire this type of loan.
