RYAN'S STORY
With over 20 years in financial services, a long time friend introduced Ryan to retirement lending in 2017. Initially thinking products like reverse mortgages were a scam, he turned down the opportunity multiple times until he was finally challenged to just do the math.
Shortly after recognizing the impact accessing home equity could have on retirement planning, Ryan began designing content, meeting with financial professionals, and assisting the lending industry in communicating and illustrating the benefits of home equity in retirement.
Now, through Equity Wealth Strategies, Ryan and his colleagues are supporting financial institutions and individual advisors by teaching and modeling the use cases and impact of home equity access in retirement.
