Your Trusted Reverse Mortgage Specialists in the San Francisco Bay Area
For many Bay Area homeowners over 62, retirement income tells only part of the story. The real wealth is often sitting quietly in home equity built up over decades of Bay Area appreciation — equity that a reverse mortgage can convert into usable funds, without a monthly mortgage payment.
What We Do
We help Bay Area seniors understand and access their home equity through:
- HECM reverse mortgages — the federally-insured program suited for most homeowners
- Jumbo reverse mortgages — for homeowners with properties valued at $1.5 million or more, where standard FHA limits fall short
Whether you’re looking to supplement retirement income, cover healthcare costs, eliminate an existing mortgage payment, or simply gain financial flexibility, we’ll walk you through your options clearly and honestly.
Why Work With Us
I’m James Stafford, a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS #1239882) and Real Estate Agent (CA DRE #01913486), and I personally handle every call. Before moving into mortgage and real estate, I spent over 30 years in automotive finance management — work that demands the same things a good reverse mortgage conversation requires: patience, clear explanations, and genuine honesty about what’s right for your situation.
A reverse mortgage isn’t right for everyone. Part of my job is helping you figure out if it’s right for you.
Serving the Entire Bay Area
We work with homeowners throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Marin County, the Peninsula, and the greater Tri-Valley area.
