In this week's episode Shawn and George talk to returning guest Michael Banner of www.LetsMoveForwardInReverse.com.
Michael became a licensed mortgage professional in 1982. Approximately 15 years ago his passion took a new direction, as his career became focused on assisting the senior segment of our industry as they approached, or were already in, the retirement portion of their lives. The gift of the "longer life spans" can sometimes be a "double edged sword" and Michael devoted his career to helping seniors with reverse mortgages. Michael is a nationally known speaker and published author, and has performed education classes for more than 20,000 financial planners, independent financial advisors, long term care insurance agents, attorneys and Realtors on the topic of The Use of Home Equity During Retirement. Over the last decade, he has appeared on hundreds of national, local and regional television, and radio broadcasts and his articles on the topic of Reverse Mortgages have appeared in the a variety of industry leading publications and blogs.
