Is a
REVERSE MORTGAGE
an option you should consider?
A Reverse Mortgage is
a unique financial tool allowing
homeowners 62 and older to use the
equity they’ve built over the years
to improve their lifestyle and age
comfortably in their own home—
while also providing increased
financial security and independence.
EXPERIENCE, INTEGRITY, TRUST…
IT MATTERS.
• Why contact me? As a 20-year career
Real Estate Attorney now exclusively
handling Reverse Mortgages, I
offer a unique discernment and
understanding—benefit from my
experience and perspective.
• Locally based, I am able to meet in
person with every client—offering an
opportunity to answer your questions,
become completely familiar with the
product, and clearly explain the terms,
benefits and costs of your options.
• I promise honesty, straight talk, no
“sales pitch” and never any pressure—
just the information you need to make
a fully informed decision whether
(or not – yes, I will tell you if not) a
Reverse Mortgage makes sense given
your individual circumstances.
B ENEFIT S / FACT S (for homeowners 62 and older):
• Provide future financial security and peace of mind
• Age comfortably – living in your own home
• Make no monthly mortgage payments; Pay off existing mortgage
[owner maintains property tax, homeowners insurance, etc.]
•
•
•
•
•
•
No change in ownership or title
You or your heirs/estate still entitled to all remaining equity
No income, credit, or health qualification requirements
Fully insured by the federal government (FHA)
Tax free access to your equity/$ – you choose how to use
Multiple payout options (such as guaranteed payments
for life, or a credit line that grows over time)

Linda Cromwell had an inspiring mentor, who also happened to be her
client. While she was in the process of launching her company, Cromwell cared
for Dr. Robert Kearns, whose successful battle against the corporate giant GM
is the subject of the movie Flash of Genius.
“He inspired me every day to have faith in myself and my business,” says
Cromwell. A private duty nurse with 25 years experience, Cromwell started
her business in 2002 with the help of a grant and guidance from the Small
Business Development Center of Howard Co. Nine years later Being There is
servicing Howard and surrounding counties and has increased sales yearly. In
2009 we decided to franchise and have active franchises in Harford County,
Md and Richmond, Va.
Being There provides a full spectrum of non-medical services for seniors by
providing certified nursing assistants, geriatric nursing assistants, companions,
and live-ins. Services offered 24/7 include meal planning and preparation,
assistance with tasks of daily living, including bathing, dressing and medication
reminders. Transportation to medical appointments, shopping and dining are
also available. Cromwell is on the Board of the Coalition of Geriatric Services,
where she is active in the yearly fundraiser. She is a Member and Sponsor of
Business Woman’s Networking of Howard County and the National Association
of Women Business Owners. She won the Top 100 MBE Award, Woman of
Distinction Award 2011 from Business Woman’s Networking of Howard County,
and “Honorable Mention” for the 2011 Enterprising Women of the Year Award,
an annual tribute to the top women entrepreneurs from North America and
around the globe.
