Why a Fortus Member
The Equity Release market in Australia is a relatively new and rapidly growing market.
To make the right decision about whether or not to release equity from your home, and if so, what to consider and how to do it, you need access to accurate, reliable information, that covers all the available alternatives.
Although Reverse Mortgages, Reversionary Home Schemes and Shared Appreciation Mortgages are all ways in which you could potentially release equity in your home, working out the merits and the suitability of each to your particular circumstances, is where Fortus becomes valuable to you.
Fortus members specialise in the Australian Equity Release Market – and are qualified and experienced in the provision of quality information and guidance on which you can base your considerations, and ultimately, your decisions.
The Fortus Charter sets out the standards that we work to, and the processes that we follow to ensure that Australian Seniors only deal with the best that the industry has to offer – in terms of training & education, product choice as well as application & referral management.
As Equity Release Professionals, the role of a Fortus member is to help you – and this begins with the collection of sufficient information about you, your family and your home (and other relevant issues), so that meaningful alternatives can be presented to you.
Fortus members then work with your nominated legal and financial advisers to reach a point where (if indeed you decide to take the next step) either an application or an introduction will be made to the lender or provider in question.
If your enquiry progresses into an application (or introduction) - then at every stage along the path towards completion of the transaction, your Fortus member will keep you properly informed and up-to-date.
