About

Linda Weilert, a seasoned mortgage professional with 17 years of experience, has successfully carved a unique niche in the fiercely competitive mortgage industry. Her journey took a significant turn from being an ambulance medic and 911 dispatcher to becoming a dedicated advocate for seniors in the realm of reverse mortgages.

Weilert’s passion for the reverse mortgage niche stems from personal experiences, notably witnessing how it alleviated the financial burden on her parents. The decision to specialize in reverse mortgages was prompted by her parents’ choice to utilize home equity to pay off their mortgage, providing them with peace of mind.

The significance of reverse mortgages became even more apparent when Weilert’s father battled Alzheimer’s, requiring additional funds for his care. The line of credit from the reverse mortgage proved invaluable, offering financial support by cashing out some of the equity in their home during challenging times. Weilert emphasizes that her family’s journey serves as a testament to the effectiveness of this financial tool.

As a branch manager at American Senior, Weilert is driven by the fulfillment of helping families navigate financial struggles. Motivated by her father’s unwavering work ethic and commitment, she aspires to become exceptionally knowledgeable in reverse mortgages and the preferred loan originator in her domain.

Looking ahead, Weilert shares valuable advice for industry professionals, emphasizing the importance of empathy, education, and building a strong professional network. Her commitment to seeing through the eyes of clients and leaving a positive impression underscores her dedication to making a meaningful impact in the world of reverse mortgages.
