Novato is Marin County's northernmost city, with a small-town Old Town along Grant Avenue, oak-covered hills and the redeveloped Hamilton neighborhood on the former Air Force base. We help Novato buyers and homeowners with high-balance and jumbo purchase loans, refinances, reverse mortgages and equity lines. For many Novato retirees, the home is their largest asset and their largest expense. A reverse mortgage can eliminate the monthly mortgage payment, provide a reserve for medical costs or home repairs, or simply make retirement more comfortable, and the homeowner keeps the title.

Novato is the most attainable entry point into Marin County, which brings in move-up families from Sonoma County and buyers priced out of southern Marin. Even so, most purchases require high-balance conforming or jumbo financing, and the city's many condo and townhome communities need a lender who checks HOA approval before an offer is written. A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan: neither you nor your heirs will ever owe more than the home is worth when it is sold. Heirs can keep the home by paying off the balance or refinancing, or sell it and keep any remaining equity. We explain these outcomes clearly to every Novato family.

Housing includes 1950s to 70s ranch homes in central Novato and San Marin, newer homes and townhomes at Hamilton and Pointe Marin, golf-course homes around Marin Country Club, wooded lots in Indian Valley and Pacheco Valle, and waterfront homes in Bel Marin Keys. We encourage Novato homeowners to include family members and financial advisors in the conversation. A reverse mortgage affects the estate, and the best outcomes happen when everyone understands the numbers before signing.
Common reasons Novato homeowners choose a reverse mortgage include paying off an existing mortgage, funding in-home care, delaying Social Security, covering a large repair or simply creating a reserve for peace of mind. The right reason is the one that fits your plan.
We help borrowers with a reverse mortgage throughout Novato, including Hamilton, San Marin, Old Town Novato, Marin Country Club, and across northern Marin County. Novato is about an hour and forty minutes from our Gold River office via I-80 and Highway 37.
