Reverse Mortgages & Jumbo Reverse Mortgages

Unlock the Value of Your Home. Stay Where You Belong

At MDPasadena.com, we believe retirement should be about comfort, freedom, and security. A reverse mortgage allows homeowners to tap into the equity they’ve built over the years without selling or moving. Whether you’re looking for extra income, a financial cushion, or peace of mind, a reverse mortgage can provide the flexibility you need.

With over 20 years of real estate and loan experience, Maria Daikovich is your trusted local guide — helping homeownersmake informed decisions about their financial future.

What is a Reverse Mortgage?

A reverse mortgage is a loan that converts part of your home equity into cash. It’s designed for homeowners 62 and older, and unlike a traditional mortgage, you don’t make monthly payments. You keep ownership of your home and can choose how you’d like to receive funds: lump sum, monthly payments, or a line of credit.

Key Benefits:

  • No monthly mortgage payments required

  • Stay in your home as long as you live there

  • Flexible payout options

  • Federally insured (HECM program)

Jumbo Reverse Mortgages Now Available for Ages 55+

For many Southern California homeowners, property values exceed FHA loan limits. That’s where jumbo reverse mortgages come in.

What Makes Jumbo Different?

  • Available to homeowners 55 and older (not 62+)

  • Higher loan amounts than standard reverse mortgages

  • Tailored for high-value homes in Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, and beyond

  • No monthly mortgage payments required

  • Maintain full ownership of your home

A jumbo reverse mortgage is a powerful option if you’re younger than 62 or own a higher-value property and want greater access to your home equity.

Common Questions

Will I still own my home?

Your heirs can choose to repay the loan and keep the home, or sell it and keep the remaining equity.
