Local Media: Overwhelming Interest From Viewers About Reverse Mortgages

September 23rd, 2009  |  by John Yedinak Published in News, Reverse Mortgage  |  9 Comments

image In Miami, CBS 4’s Your Money Team covered reverse mortgages earlier this week and set up a dedicated “Phone Bank” devoted entirely to the subject due to the overwhelming interest from viewers.

The segment features Myrtle Robinson, who decided to use a reverse mortgage to keep up with her bills.  Robinson explained, "When I learned about all it had to offer, I thought, ‘this is for me””.

Robinson says her reverse mortgage is working out well for her and added "It’s like a load off my shoulders and after hearing about it, you’re grateful."

After the backlash from the Consumer Reports “investigation” it’s nice to see reverse mortgages getting some positive local media coverage.

    Is it any wonder that Miami is the metro area with the highest percentage of seniors with a reverse mortgage in place currently?

    There doesn't seem to be anything different in this video than any others I have seen. It's not all that positive.

  • Admin

    Positive compared to the CR stuff, come on I'm trying to keep it positive =)

  • dduck12

    The only negative I read was a semi-negative remark by a “financial advisor”.

  • floridareversemortgageguy

    Check out the video, what was seen on TV, not the story.

  • dduck12

    So there were some cautions noted and some stories of overcharges for services. I still think, that I as a prospective borrower, would still want to check out a RM as a possible financial problem solution after watching the video.

  • REVGUYJIM

    If this is what has to pass for “positive media coverage” for reverse mortgages, we've got a long way to go.

  • The_Critic

    What is great about this presentation is the anecdote was positive. There is nothing wrong with warning seniors about inappropriate uses of funds.

    While I would not call the TV reporting or article positive, neither were they negative. It was about as even handed as one sees.

  • dduck12

    Right on, Critic.
