HomeSafe | Aaron Johnson Reverse Mortgage
Age 55+ Loan Program

HomeSafe — Jumbo Reverse Mortgage

A proprietary reverse mortgage designed for homeowners with higher-value properties. Access more equity than a standard HECM, starting at age 55.

What is HomeSafe

More equity access for higher-value homes.

HomeSafe is a proprietary reverse mortgage product — meaning it’s offered by private lenders, not insured by FHA. Because it isn’t bound by FHA loan limits, it can provide significantly larger loan amounts for homeowners with high-value properties.

It’s also available to homeowners as young as 55, making it the broadest reverse mortgage option for California homeowners who don’t yet qualify for a HECM.

“HomeSafe opens the door for younger homeowners and those with higher-value properties who are underserved by the standard HECM program.”

Common Questions

HomeSafe FAQ

Is HomeSafe available in California?+
Yes. HomeSafe products are available in California and many other states. The minimum age in California is 55 for most HomeSafe products. Contact Aaron to confirm availability for your specific situation.
Since it’s not FHA-insured, is HomeSafe safe?+
HomeSafe is a regulated proprietary product. While it doesn’t carry FHA insurance, it still includes non-recourse protections, meaning neither you nor your heirs will owe more than the home is worth at repayment. Aaron will walk you through how the protections compare to a HECM.
Who benefits most from HomeSafe vs HECM?+
HomeSafe tends to be the better fit for homeowners with properties valued well above the FHA lending limit, homeowners between age 55–61 who don’t yet qualify for a HECM, or those with non-FHA-eligible properties. Aaron can compare both options side by side for your situation.
