Accountability

Authors & Expert Reviewers

Financial information should carry a name. This page lists the people who write and review reverse mortgage content on this site, what they are qualified in, and which pages each of them is responsible for.

How bylines work here

Every substantive page about reverse mortgages is intended to carry four separate pieces of information, each with its own meaning:

  • Written by — the named person who researched and wrote the page.
  • Reviewed by — a qualified reviewer who checked it for accuracy. Review is a separate act from writing and is credited separately.
  • Published — the date the page first went live.
  • Last reviewed — the date a qualified person last re-read the page and stood behind it.
  • Data verified — the date the underlying lender or regulatory data was last checked against its source.

Those dates are not interchangeable. A page can be reviewed without its data being re-verified, and data can be re-verified without the page being rewritten. Where any of them is unknown, it is left off rather than guessed.

Credentials

Where a contributor holds a professional credential or licence, we list the credential, the issuing body and, where a public registry exists, a link to verify it. We do not publish credentials we cannot point at.

Joining as a reviewer

We are building a panel of qualified reviewers — housing counselors, mortgage professionals, financial planners and consumer-law practitioners — to check our reverse mortgage content. Reviewers are credited by name and are never asked to approve a ranking or a commercial arrangement.

How this page is produced: Rankings and scores are determined by our published editorial methodology and are not influenced by compensation. MethodologyEditorial StandardsHow We Make MoneyData & SourcesCorrectionsDisclosures
