cost reverse mortgage counseling
Reverse mortgage counseling is required as part of the application process. Independent HUD approved counselors provide homeowners with unbiased information about reverse mortgage loans. Counseling can be completed over the phone or face-to-face with a local agency. Upon completion of the counseling session, the counselor will mail a HECM Counseling Certificate to the homeowner for inclusion with the reverse mortgage application. The cost for counseling is typically about $125, but the fee may be waived in some cases.
