Reverse Mortgage-Christina Harmes Group in Carlsbad specializes exclusively in equity-conversion lending from a Grey Hawk Court office in the 92010 ZIP, with Christina Harmes holding NMLS #1094286 and California DRE #01809003 as one of approximately 200 NRMLA-credentialed Certified Reverse Mortgage specialists nationwide. The practice's reverse-mortgage focus intersects directly with aging-in-place planning at communities such as La Costa Glen, where Home Equity Conversion Mortgage strategies allow homeowners 62 and older to eliminate monthly mortgage payments while retaining title. Harmes earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Economics from San Diego State University before entering the mortgage industry, eventually serving as national assistant manager for C2 Reverse, the reverse division of C2 Financial Corp. Her current origination through Barrett Financial Group (NMLS #181106) covers FHA-backed Home Equity Conversion Mortgages alongside proprietary jumbo reverse products for Carlsbad properties that exceed the standard HECM lending limit, a niche relevant to in-home care recipients coordinating with Heritage Senior Care for non-medical support services. Jumbo reverse mortgages available through the practice extend to borrowers as young as 55 on higher-valued properties, accessing equity above the federal HECM ceiling without monthly repayment obligations until the home is sold or vacated.
