Professional, knowledgeable and caring
Having had no experience nor knowledge of a reverse mortgage and how it works, my family and I went into this blindly. We were on a venture to get a reverse mortgage for my elderly brother. My sister-in-law went online to research this. Enter Richard Hettish of American Senior Reverse Mortgage...I am not literate in the world of finance but Richard took time to explain the workings of a reverse mortgage. No matter how many times he had to explain something to my family, he did it with professionalism, knowledge and care. He was always available for us and patient with our questions. Richard is kind, always asking how my brother is and even though I was the main contact for the family, he always left messages for my brother as well as the other family members. Explaining a mortgage can become tedious at times but Richard's sense of humor always brought a welcomed relief. We were very fortunate to have found Richard and we highly recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for help in this area.

It was a pleasure working with Neal Melton. Everything went quickly, easily, and smoothly. I recommend working with American Senior, ask for Neal.
I had Steven Schwab as my advisor
I had Steven Schwab as my advisor. He & his team were exceptionally helpful & guided us through the whole process. Steve was very knowledgeable about the whole process & explained each step in easy to understand language. I would highly recommend him & the American Senior company.
Reverse Mortgage - A Success
From start to end of the process and services were dealt in professionalism, courtesy, and civility. The progressive trust between both parties derived at the goal with ease. I deemed this reverse loan a successful satisfaction.
Neal Melton is a Trusted and Valued Partner
Neal Melton, Senior Loan Originator with American Senior Lending was a great partner as I applied and received my home equity conversion mortgage, HECM, ('reverse mortgage'). Neal walked through the process with me, answering all questions with prompt, accurate and patience. He responded almost immediately to my sometimes-panicked needs for understanding the process. He made all the steps easy; nothing was a surprise, and I felt supported and heard through the process. I highly recommend Neal and American Senior Lending to my family and friends and anyone considering a HECM
My agent
My agent, David was professional and very prompt throughout the process!
Thank you Steven
I can not say enough great things about Steven Schwab. He is a total professional. He took me through the process of explaining everything in detail. To anyone who has him as a Mortgage Loan Originator, and they will be totally satisfied.
My experience with American Senior was a wonderful experience!
My experience with this company was very pleasant from start to finish. David Hernandez, the Loan Officer, clearly explained things and kept me updated on each new event all the way up to the closing date. I’ve obtained several mortgages over the years and I can truthfully say David is the best loan officer I’ve ever worked with. The actual closing went very smoothly with no last minute surprises. My husband and I both highly recommend American Senior and Loan Officer David Hernandez.

From Skepticsl to Satified
I was quite skeptical when I started. American Senior Reverse Mortgage Company made me comfortable and was forthcoming with ever question I asked. There were many. I found them to be honest, polite, very patient, thorough and knowledgeable. I will not hesitate to refer Richard Hettish to my friends in the future for this service if it comes up. He was a Godsend for my needs at this time. I am more than satisfied with the results.
Thank you Sheila Yeomans
David Houghton
David Houghton was outstanding from start to finish. He provided complete instructions for us to follow. Where there were difficult areas, he handled it with professionalism and saw us to the finish line successfully.
Richard Hettish
Richard Hettish, is knowledgeable, hard working and forthcoming. His friendly demeaner and constant availability made communication easy. We are very satisfied with the outcome of the reverse mortgage and would advise anyone to try American Senior. I made a new friend maybe you will. James Stewart

My lender David Houghten
My lender David Houghten, was very efficient; he did not waste time I was able to get the funds right away. I can compare the expedient efficiency of my lender with another reverse mortgage company I was going to go with, I must say I’m glad I didn’t!
Recommending a HECM with American Senior
Our trusted Retirement / Financial Planner recommended that we refinance thru a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) - so after much thought & consideration, and after extensive research of the many companies that specialize in HECMs, we chose American Senior. Our Loan Officer Richard Hettish was knowledgeable, personable, professional, patient and thorough in answering all of our detailed questions & analytical concerns. As we decided to move forward, Richard stayed actively engaged with us, updating us on and facilitating the process - which could not have gone and concluded anymore smoothly. Our new loan closed in just over a month; we now have real peace of mind, knowing our future lifetime and our legacy plan for our family are both secure; we would highly recommend Richard and American Senior to other retired couples who have solid equity in their homes that want to improve their cash flow and enjoy their golden years while concurrently availing themselves of a line of credit in balance with a reasonable estate for their heirs.

David Hernandez was incredibly helpful and patient with me. He knows his stuff, and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get a reverse mortgage.
Service well in excess of expectations
David Hernandez helped me to save my home and to enjoy the rest of my life having been able to pay off all debt and live mortgage free through a reverse mortgage. His patience were gold standard and helped me to overcome all potential obstacles. His commitment was gold standard. He was able to have some pre-approval charges paid at closing and I was pleased to have found that my homeowner's insurance was paid through its term through escrow. In the end, I asked David to stay in touch because were I to need services such as his again, I won't need to look elsewhere.

I had been contemplating applying for a reverse mortgage, but I felt really unsure. However, I came across American Senior Reverse Mortgage Company and I got to work with an awesome representative, David. He explained to me step-by-step everything I needed to know throughout the whole process, he kept the lines of communications open, and if I had any questions, he was more than happy to help me with them in a professional and respectful manner. I highly recommend working with this company, they value your needs and work hard to improve your quality of life by being able to stay in your own home for as long as you wish. Thank you David, for your hard work and dedication, I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
