Longbridge Financial, LLC is an innovative financial institution pledged to responsibly advising retired homeowners in improving their retirement finances through education about Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) — and assisting them in unlocking the strength of their equity.
The Longbridge team can help you use your home equity to help manage the financial responsibilities impacting so many Americans who are in, or preparing for, retirement. Established by an Ivy League professor and a group of exceptionally experienced professionals from leading financial institutions, our mission is to improve the reverse mortgage industry through unmatched client service, transparency, and expertise.
Why work with Longbridge Financial?
We’re a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) approved lender:
- Our HECM program is governed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
- We are a proud member of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA) and completely abide by its Code of Ethics. Not all lenders can claim this.
What distinguishes Longbridge Financial from other lenders?
Leadership
Christopher Mayer, PhD, is CEO of Longbridge Financial, LLC and has spent over 20 years studying mortgages and housing as a professor at Columbia University and the Wharton School. Mr. Mayer has testified before the US Congress and is regularly consulted by the media for his financial expertise. Mr. Mayer is committed to offering the strategic value of the HECM program to American seniors.
Integrity
We are dedicated to recommending the HECM program only once we make certain it is suitable for your situation and meets your needs. We will get to know you, your objectives, your home, and your finances as we discuss your available options. You can rest assured that if we ever feel like a reverse mortgage is NOT your best option, WE WILL TELL YOU SO. Not every lender can make that guarantee.
Partnerships
Our company has created one-of-a-kind partnerships to support lasting home ownership, and has created programs which no other HECM lender offers.
Technology
We are constantly looking for innovative ways to better help our customers — and today, that means building progressive, unique tools which put information about your loan always within reach.
