How We Can Work Together

Traditional lenders often pass up potential customers, missing opportunities by declining loans that could be secured with alternative financing solutions. That’s where Longbridge comes in! We work with brokers, as well as non- and full-delegated correspondents, to show how they can unlock a new market and uncover untapped opportunities. 

Whether your team is experienced with reverse mortgages or exploring them for the first time, our exclusive Reverse Made Easy® program simplifies the process. With full loan processing and closing functions, we provide the support and resources you need to successfully integrate reverse mortgage products into your existing processes.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Our Service: With Longbridge, your loans are always in good hands. We’re one of only two reverse mortgage lenders with an “above average” rating from Morningstar. In addition to being a reverse mortgage lender, we’re also a full loan servicer. So we won’t pass your files off to another company or third party after closing.
  • Our Pricing: Our industry-leading pricing model provides substantial savings for senior homeowners. And with a competitive compensation structure, reverse mortgages can help you serve the growing market of seniors, while also boosting your bottom line.
  • Our Products: In addition to FHA-insured HECMs, we also offer Longbridge Platinum, our suite of proprietary jumbo reverse mortgages. We are continuously enhancing our Platinum products to provide borrowers with even greater flexibility.
