Port Orchard Reverse Mortgage Facts

HUD Approved Direct Lender

All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. (ARLO™) is approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to originate, underwrite, and close HUD’s Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM, or “Heck-um”). The HECM is HUD’s reverse mortgage loan program.

All Reverse Mortgage of Port Orchard 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 Port Orchard

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.

Port Orchard Details

Port Orchard was first settled by European-Americans William Renton and Daniel Howard in 1854 after they established a sawmill in the area. The town was originally mapped out in 1886 by Frederick Stevens, who named it after his father. However, the U.S. Navy soon identified Orchard Bay as a suitable location for a new installation on the West Coast, leading to the development of Port Orchard with the help of Sidney’s residents.

Today, Port Orchard is the county seat of Kitsap County, located 13 miles west of Seattle and connected to Seattle and Vashon Island via the Washington State Ferries run to Southworth.
