My best reverse transactions came from trust-based referrals — primarily through:
Real estate agents and their existing clients
Forward loan officers and their client relationships
Not through:
Consumer lead programs
Cold outreach
And not by relying on “quick response” marketing.
The common thread wasn’t volume marketing. It was education + trusted connection.
No hype. No recruiting pitch. Just the framework.

The Real Problem with Reverse Mortgage Growth
Reverse opportunities exist—but they often never surface because:
Agents don’t clearly understand the reverse value proposition, so they avoid the topic
Agents often lack a trusted RMLO connection, making handoffs uncomfortable
Homeowners misunderstand reverse, so they assume selling is the only path
When the market doesn’t understand the option, the conversation doesn’t start.
The Strategy: Own Your Farm
Own Your Farm is the system I use to solve the education and connection gap—at scale.
It’s designed to:
Educate homeowners during the “uncertainty phase”
Equip agents to confidently introduce stay or go options
Create trusted handoffs to LOs and RMLOs
Build long-term relationships that produce reverse transactions later in the process
This is not a lead program. It’s a trust-building framework.
How It Works (At a High Level)
Own Your Farm combines:
Monthly home-view postcards
Social media + streaming video for reinforcement
Education around “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”
Access to a vetted network of trusted advisors & service providers
Scripts + structure that make agent conversations and RMLO handoffs simple
Marketing supports visibility. Education builds trust. Relationships create transactions.
The Inventory Reality: Why So Many Homeowners Feel Stuck
Most homeowners — and many agents — don’t realize that:
Equity from the sale of a home can be combined with a Reverse for Purchase to buy a new home — often without taking on a new monthly mortgage payment.
Because this option is poorly understood:
Homeowners delay decisions
Agents avoid the conversation
Reverse expertise is introduced after paths are already limited
The issue isn’t equity.
It’s awareness and confidence.

Where “Owning the Farm™” Fits
The Agent Execution Layer
Owning the Farm™ is how agents stay visible and trusted within a defined neighborhood.
It includes:
Education-first homeowner messaging
A simple decision framework
Access to vetted trusted advisors and service providers
When agents can help homeowners stay — not just sell — they earn trust long before a transaction occurs.
And when selling eventually makes sense, homeowners call the agent who helped them first.
Reverse Mortgage LOs support this process — and benefit from the outcomes.

This is how The reverse becomes integrated, not isolated.
