About the Reverse Mortgage Assessment
A reverse mortgage assessment is a professional evaluation of a homeowner's eligibility and potential payout under a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), the most common type of reverse mortgage in the U.S. and backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The assessment typically includes a home equity analysis, a breakdown of loan options (lump sum, monthly payments, or line of credit), an estimate of the borrower's tax-free proceeds, and a review of ongoing obligations such as property taxes and homeowner's insurance. Participants in this testing program receive the full assessment at no charge, along with a consultation session with a HUD-approved housing counselor.
Typical retail value: $400–$600
Mortgage lenders and financial services firms increasingly rely on real homeowners to evaluate their reverse mortgage programs before wider rollout. In exchange for honest, detailed feedback on the experience, selected participants receive free consultations, rate assessments, and in some cases, waived origination fees.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need perfect credit to qualify?
No. Reverse mortgage eligibility is based primarily on your age (62 or older), home equity, and whether the property is your primary residence. Credit history plays a smaller role than with traditional mortgages.
Is there any cost to participate in the testing program?
No. Approved participants receive the full assessment and HUD-approved counseling session at no charge.
What should my feedback cover?
Focus on how clearly the process was explained, how accurately the payout estimate matched your situation, and how responsive the counselor was. Specific detail matters more than length.
Does participating commit me to taking out a reverse mortgage?
No. The assessment is informational. You are under no obligation to proceed with a loan after completing it.
How soon can I expect to hear back after applying?
Most applicants receive a match within 3 to 5 business days, depending on lender availability in their area.
