A reverse mortgage may help you plan for a more comfortable retirement, lived with

greater financial independence. At Luxury Mortgage Corp , we encourage you to

involve family members in your decision process—so you can make the choice that’s

right for you. When the home is sold or is no longer your primary residence, the loan

must be repaid. Any remaining equity belongs to you or your estate, and can be

transferred to heirs.
