Sun American Mortgage Company

Just excellent - Sun American Mortgage & Parker Turk! Being an engineer & a spreadsheet-type, I did quite an exhaustive research of HECMs & the lenders including the giants in the field. Sun American got my vote!! Factor 1: Selecting the Company: With Parker being the face of Sun American, there is no question as to which company wins hands down. He is a smart, professional person, interested in winning your business but also very good at educating you, providing information & being honest. Factor 2 - Selecting the Product: With HECMs, it is all about the interest rate, the closing costs & how/when you think you are going to use the loan. If you need money fast, a low rate (which will carry a high upfront cost) product is probably best for you; if you want growth of your credit, it is the reverse, you will want a high rate (which will require a low closing cost). Parker explains all of that & Sun American provides a nice range of interest rates/closing cost combinations so that you can tailor the product to your needs. Factor 3 - Afterservice: I cannot speak to this factor yet since I just got the HECM but, given my exposure to Parker, I am hopeful that Sun American will be there to provide support. By the way, for folks in the metro Phoenix area, there is the additional valuable benefit that Sun American is local. You have face to face interaction as you work through a major life decision. I would recommend Sun American completely if you are considering a HECM.

It was suggested that I shop around for my reverse mortgage and I'm glad I did. I ended up choosing Sun American. There is a reason they were recommended so highly. The whole experience was made easier than I had anticipated. There fees and costs were most reasonable. Parker Turk was very pleasant to work with. Based on my experience I would Highly recommend Sun America for you mortgage needs.

Without a doubt Sun America has exceeded my expectations. "Exceeded my expectations" is a buzz term in business but honestly Sun America along with Parker Turk went way beyond helping me with a reverse mortgage. Parker completed unexpected and much needed work to help me complete the process. I Strongly recommend Sun America and Mr. Turk if you want a Reverse Mortgage.

Parker at Sun American Mortgage has been a wonderful partner for my 83-year-old mother and me as we've worked our way through the rather intimidating reverse mortgage process. In my search for mortgage companies, his was one of the earliest that came up, and once I'd talked to him, I didn't look much further. His responsiveness, patience, expertise, strategic acumen, and willingness to coordinate with Mom's investment manager have lived up to my expectations. And it's a big plus that Sun Mortgage doesn't sell loans on to another company--which means we can always pick up the phone and call Parker.

I had the opportunity to use Parker Turk and his team at Sun American Mortgage recently. They were very professional and always quick to respond to my questions. I was confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire home buying process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

Parker was patient, never seemed to be in a hurry to be elsewhere, was receptive to my many questions and never made me feel stupid for asking them. In addition, he has a sense of humor. What a combination!!! Yeah, Parker! Keep up the good work.

From the moment I first talked to Parker Turk, I felt comfortable with him, with his knowledge about reverse mortgages, and with his honest evaluation of my situation. My goal was to get a new reverse mortgage to replace the one my wife and I already had--in order to increase the amount of home equity ultimately available to us in light of the increased market value of our house and to do so at no new expense to us. Parker understood the concern, explained the minimal amount the new appraisal would have to be, made sure I understood the details of the process that would be required, and then launched the process. Part of the process was to send a professional appraiser to inspect our property and suggest a fair market value. Thankfully, the figure at which he arrived was $37,000 above the one used to secure our first reverse mortgage two and a half years ago and $6,000 above the minimal figure required to allow for a restructured mortgage, and it made possible an increase of $11,000 in the amount of equity available to us. As Parker had promised, under these circumstances there was absolutely no cost to us. Sun American paid off the existing mortgage and structured a new one. Understandably, there was a lot of paperwork to sign, as there was with our original reverse mortgage and as there would be with any mortgage company. The whole experience smacked of competence, courtesy, friendliness, and integrity. We were very pleased!

I met with Parker Turk regarding a home equity conversion mortgage upon the recommendation of Desert Schools Credit Union. Parker was efficient, professional, and willing to explain the details of the HECM. I went to the appointment with little knowledge about HECM's and came away with being confident in making a decision. I appreciate Parker and his patience and knowledge. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I was recommended to Sun America by financial advisor Michael Black. This is a first class company. I applied for a Reverse Mortgage and the whole process was fast and easy. I shopped other Mortgage companies but Sun American gave me the most money and seemed to be more knowledgeable than the other companies. Parker Turk was fantastic, walked me through everything, was very patient explaining the whole procedure. Wonderful experience, couldn't be happier.

We had an extremely successful experience with Parker Turk and Sun Mountain. He was very knowledgeable about the product and made the loan process very simple and pain free. We were pressed for time and he helped push things through to meet our schedule. We will definitely recommend Parker and his company to our friends and neighbors.

The process of getting a Reverse mortgage was so simple and easy with these professionals that I cannot find words for the grateful feelings I have for the way they preformed. It took less than a month to do the completed deal wth the money in hand that I needed for medical expenses. Believe me when I say that their word is their bond i am sincere about it. This is a home base company, Phoenix, local folks in the busness of helping people with specific needs with their finances. Not much need to shop as Reverse Mortage is a Federal program and everyone has the same thing, except for service, so being close to the lender is important on the initial deal.

The problem I had in obtaining a reverse mortgage was that we couldn't get an FHA appraiser to come out and appraise my house and 20 acres. They apparently find it a lot easier to appraise tract homes on small acreages rather than custom homes with more land. The first two lenders I contacted threw up their hands in despair when appraisals couldn't be obtained, but Parker Turk, my third contact, came through for me in a big way, basically moving mountains to get the job done. Six months had flown by since I began the process with my first lender, and by the time Parker got the appraisal nailed down, it appeared as though I would have to go through counseling, etc. all over again, but Parker went to bat for me, and that was all waived. I was thrilled when my reverse mortgage actually became a reality, and I highly recommend Parker Turk to anyone who wants an excellent team player working diligently on their behalf. He is tenacious, knowledgeable, and knows how to get the job done.

I felt everyone was very professional and tried to help when I had questions. My reverse mortgage closed in a timely manner and am happy that I decided to work with Sun Mortgage.

I had a difficult situation, selling my house and applying for a reverse mortgage and buying another house in a different city. It was filled with details, disruptions, and errors, none of which were due to Parker Turk, who sailed through the whole thing with confidence, leading me to a positive conclusion. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a fair, decent, intelligent mortgage broker, who really knows his stuff.

I found this company on the internet which I was skeptical but called and Parker answered the phone and was very helpful, came out to my Mothers house, was punctual, very informative on all the information we needed to know. Everything went so smooth which in this day and age does not happen anymore. We have closed on the reverse mortgage and life is much easier for my mother and myself. I will recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a reverse mortgage.

We found Parker Turk to be knowledgeable and informative. We would recommend him to others who are inquiring about a Reverse Mortgage.

A friend of mine called Sun American Mortgage Company regarding a Reverse Mortgage and I happened to be available at the time of their meeting. We got to discussing options regarding refinancing a reverse mortgage as I already had one in place. Parker gave me detailed instructions regarding costs and savings which would allow me to take more equity out of my home as the values had increased considerably since the original reverse mortgage. It was a very smooth transition done extremely professionally. I would highly recommend both Parker Turk and Sun American Mortgage!

My wife and I spent our professional careers as technical writers. So, we never finalize anything involving money without digging into every document, and asking questions. Parker was fully knowledgeable about the products and the documents involved. Given the association of the products with HUD, familiarity on a high level is impressive. Also impressive was Parker's availability. Being so accessible to your clients definitely rates that 5th star.

I was so fortunate to have Parker to guide me through the maze of reverse mortgage. I know now that I have successfully moved into my new house, I could not have made it without Parker and his knowledge about reverse mortgage/ , Also, his temperament, Always calm , always consistant , and always there when I had a problem or questions. Also very professional and very patient with me . I am a great grandma , and I have raised a lot of children and I just want to say Parker is one of the finest young men I have ever met. A pleasure to do business with such a fine organization. Also I am beginner on the computer , forgive the grammer mistakes Yours Truly, Thresia Ryan 2049 w. Gloria ln 85085

Parker was wonderful.

Parker Turk was well prepared and patiently explained the process to us. He answered all our questions in such a way that it was easy for us to understand how the mortgage works, what it could do for us, what we needed to be sure of before making the decision, and then going forward with our decision.

We had requested information about a reverse mortgage from several companies. We felt most comfortable with Parker Turk. He answered our questions to our satisfaction and was able to share information that helped us to make a decision that was right for us. He explained the counseling and gave us information and references. We were aware of all the points covered in the counseling session because Parker had covered the information with us previous to the counseling session. We're very happy with the outcome and.the timeliness was perfect.

My Wife and I just completed the Reverse Mortgage program with Sun America. Our Mortgage Rep. was Parker Turk. I wish all my transactions, I completed through the years, were as pleasant and stress free as this one. Parker Turk answered all our questions in a timely manner and never pressured us to close the deal. In fact, Mr Turk did not proceed until we understood all the aspect of a Reverse Mortgage, and he was confident with our understanding of the process. I would do business with Sun American again, and would feel comfortable recommending this Company and the Reverse Mortgage program to anyone.

I used Parker Turk and Sun American to get a reverse mortgage. Every step of the process was done in a timely and professional manner. My questions were answered completely and promptly and I was kept abreast of the process start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

He made what could have been a stressful situation run smoothly for me and I am grateful for his ability.

I had heard ads for Sun American on KFYI Although I was somewhat dubious, I called for information. I first spoke with Parker Turk on the phone and the result of that call was to set up an appointment to meet at our home. An appointment was made for a time convenient to us but I am sure it was after "working hours" for Parker. Prior to meeting with him I gave the information I had received via phone, to my long time CPA . Hr listened and said : "It is a no brainer, go ahead" Parker arrived and with my wife and me went through the whole process, carefully explaining how it worked and answering questios. We decided then and there to go ahead and Parker had brought all the paper work with him, which we signed. Everything went smoothly with the required call and the appraiser. The star of this show was "Jackie ?" who was the Notary who came to the house with all the paper work and walked us through each and every document we had to sign. She was VERY professional and capable! Now that we are done with the process we are very pleased with how it all worked out

It was the easiest and best mortgage we've ever obtained. Parker was on the ball and handled all of our questions thoroughly and professionally. If you are in the market for a reverse mortgage Parker's the guy you've got to see. You won't regret it. Ralph Laurie Sun City West, AZ

Parker was great to work with, answered all our questions and put us at ease with the process of a reverse mortgage. He was very professional and I would recommend him and this mortgage company to anyone.

I was very satisfied with the way my reverse mortgage was handled. I appreciated the fact that Parker was able to meet with me and my financial officer to explain the details involved.

We contacted Parker to discuss the possibilities of doing a reverse mortgage. After scheduling an appointment Parker came to our home and explained to us how the process works and answered all of our questions. We really appreciated Parker's professionalism, caring approach to our questions, and his desire to work with us to achieve our goals. We're pleased with his commitment to working with us in the manner he did. As well as greatly appreciate the support and help we received from Dee Ann Manganaro at Sun American's underwriting department. Parker is a great professional who brings a great deal of knowledge of a complicated financial product.

Parker Turk and his staff have integrity are honest and extremely professional. These traits are rare in our present day dog eat dog greedy world. I trust Parker 100 percent and would not hesitate recommending his company too anyone seeking a reverse mortgage. The reverse mortgage process is complex but was expertly handled in a professional manner and with very positive results. In my opinion the quality of people involved dictates if I do business or not. Having said that I picked these folks and glad that I did.

Parker and everyone at Sun American Mortgage treated me like a neighbor and not like a client. Parker took the time to understand my situation and work out the best way to make everyone satisfied. I would whole heartedly recommend Sun American to anyone looking for a reverse mortgage over any of the nationally advertised companies.

I was shopping for a reverse mortgage and randomly picked Sun American out of all the listings I found on the internet. I called several companies and three returned my call. Parker was one of those returned phone calls and thank heaven he was available immediately. He came out to my home that afternoon and proposed zero closing costs and step by step instruction on how to quickly close my loan. I would recommend Parker to anyone I know looking for a mortgage. I trust him and his company to do the right thing for me and he will always have my business.

Handled by Parker Turk in a professional, patient and friendly manner from start to finish. He has been equally willing to answer questions relating to monthly statements from RMS, Inc. that were not clear to us, and to assist us as needed in the future.

Prompt return of phone inquiry. Came to house for informational meeting and explained in detail pros and cons of loan in very plain understandable language as we are seniors and had no prior knowledge of how reverse mortgages work. Paper work was done in a very short time and our questions were answered promptly by the office staff. Everything was done by mail or phone so we never had to travel which was great for us as we don't drive in the city traffice.

It was a pleasure working with Parker. He spent as much time as I needed to go over the program. I am very pleased with his service. Holly Eslinger

Parker and everyone I had contact with at Sun American was fabulous. Very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and everything was explained in detail. This transaction was a very pleasant experience and a rare one for these days and times. Everything was efficiently handled and completed on-time. The team you put together to do the inspections and/or other services were also efficient and professional. This experience reminded me of the past when people actually cared about doing things right and were respectful of other's needs and their time. Keep up the good work and the great customer service. Susan Price

Parker Turk, my agent was amazing. He was very professional and knowledgeable and made the whole process of getting a reverse mortgage painless. I spoke to many other companies and was shocked to find great differences in deals being offered. I was able to save $15,000. in costs and charges. Not all companies are alike. Sun American was outstanding to deal with. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

I can't believe what a good experience this was. Everyone was efficient and professional and we closed quickly, just as promised! I would recommend Sun American to anyone wanting great service.
