The Reverse Mortgage backstory for Carlos began in 2007 when a family member asked about Reverse Mortgages and whether it would be a good thing for their family.  There was initial skepticism about the program, but after researching the programs Carlos not only recommended it but was hired by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.  Carlos has become an advocate and expert for Reverse Mortgages and has been a sought-after speaker for National Conferences including the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association.  He has also been a Speaker for the Camarillo Healthcare District, Cabrillo Economic Development Corp., Ventura County Adult Protective Services, and the Ventura County Coastal Association of Realtors.

 

Carlos believes it is his mission to help educate, inform, and empower seniors, their advocates, and trusted advisors about today’s Reverse Mortgage programs with the goal of helping people better understand the power and value of Home Equity & Housing Wealth and how it can enhance Retirement Success Rates in Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara Counties as well as throughout California & the United States. 

 

Carlos has been married to his wife, Tracy, for 25 years.  They were Foster Parents in Ventura County for 9 years and have been able to Adopt 3 of their 4 girls.
