Unlock the Power of Your Home’s Equity in Retirement

As your trusted mortgage professional, I, Gary Otico, am dedicated to helping California homeowners achieve financial comfort and independence — especially during retirement. A Reverse Mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 and older to convert part of their home’s equity into tax-free cash while continuing to live in their home.

How Reverse Mortgages Work for You

A Reverse Mortgage allows you to access your home’s equity without selling it or taking on monthly mortgage payments. Instead of you paying the lender each month, the lender pays you — either in a lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit. You remain the owner of your home, maintaining full control and responsibility for property taxes, insurance, and upkeep. I’ll take the time to clearly explain each option available, ensuring you understand every detail of how this loan can support your lifestyle and long-term plans. My mission is to make the process simple, transparent, and empowering.

Designed for a Secure and Comfortable Retirement

Retirement should be a time to relax and enjoy the rewards of your hard work. With a Reverse Mortgage, you can turn your home into a reliable source of income — without the worry of monthly mortgage payments. I work closely with each client to create a customized plan that aligns with their financial goals, whether it’s preserving assets, creating a safety net, or funding important life goals. My approach is rooted in trust, compassion, and professionalism, ensuring that every decision we make supports your long-term peace of mind and stability.

Preserve Ownership and Independence

A common misconception about Reverse Mortgages is that you lose ownership of your home — that’s simply not true. You remain the legal homeowner and can continue living in your home for as long as you wish. The loan is repaid only when you move, sell, or pass away, at which point your heirs can decide how to proceed. I make it a priority to ensure you and your family fully understand every aspect of this program so that you can move forward with confidence and clarity. With Gary Otico, you’ll receive honest advice and expert guidance every step of the way.
