Sylvia Maly - Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
Speaking on: Investing Through Reverse Mortgage.
It has been said that “necessity is the Mother of invention.” Well, in the mortgage world, a product became
available for seniors because of necessity—the Reverse Mortgage.
In 2010, this product is now used in ways
other than for necessities. It can also help seniors stretch their investments by purchasing with a Reverse
Mortgage! Learn the basics of reverse mortgages and just how purchasing with reverse mortgages really
works.
Sylvia has worked for Wells Fargo for over 11 years. Sylvia credits her past experience as an escrow officer
and later as a Case Manager for Multnomah County Aging Services, along with her volunteer work through
her Kiwanis club, for her passion for helping seniors succeed financially.
