HUD Approved Direct Lender

All Reverse Mortgage of Kennewick originates and closes refinance loans for homeowners who are looking to either pay off their existing loan and eliminate monthly mortgage payments, use their equity for other purposes if they have no existing loan, or a combination of both.
About All Reverse Mortgage of Kennewick
The team at All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. has extensive experience, including being part of the group that introduced the first fixed-rate jumbo reverse mortgage in 2008. With this background, we are constantly exploring new products for homeowners in high-value markets where the HUD HECM may not be the best fit. Although jumbo or proprietary programs often offer lower Principal Limits relative to property values, they can be the right solution for certain borrowers.
An experienced originator can guide you through the pros and cons of each program, helping you make an informed decision. In various markets, there may be a mix of HUD HECM and niche jumbo opportunities, allowing homeowners aged 62 and above to leverage reverse mortgages as a versatile financial tool. This can be particularly valuable for those seeking to eliminate mortgage payments or establish a growing line of credit, enhancing their retirement plans.
Kennewick Details
Before Kennewick was settled by European descendants, it was inhabited by people from the Umatilla, Wanapum, Nez Perce, and Yakama tribes. The area’s low elevation and riverside location made it hospitable with moderate winters and rich fishing conditions. The name “Kennewick” is credited to the Native American tribes, with most translations meaning “grassy place” or “winter paradise.”
The land was ceded by Native American tribes at the Walla Walla Council of 1855, leading to slow settlement by ranchers in the 1860s. By the 1880s, steamboats and railroads connected Kennewick to other settlements along the Columbia River. The Northern Pacific Irrigation Company laid the groundwork for agriculture in the 1890s, leading to the successful cultivation of crops like strawberries.
Kennewick’s industrial potential was boosted by the construction of the Celilo Canal in 1915, leading to the development of freight and passenger shipping. During WWII, the establishment of the Hanford Site for atomic bomb manufacturing further drove industrial growth. Today, Kennewick remains the retail hub of the Tri-Cities.
Kennewick has approximately 54,693 residents with a median household income of $41,213. The city hosts numerous outdoor events during the warm season, including the Tri-Cities Water Follies and Art in the Park, attracting thousands of visitors. The area is also home to over 300 wineries and wine bars, drawing significant tourism.
Kennewick’s proximity to the Cascade Mountains gives it a semi-arid climate, bordering on a desert climate. The area experiences an average annual precipitation of 7.57 inches, annual snowfall of 6.4 inches, an average high temperature of 65.6 degrees, and an average low of 42.6 degrees.
