Jul 31,2020Dawn Bestafka was excellent. She is experienced, knows what she is talking about and does what she says. The process was painless. I gave them 5 stars because we had no problems, issues or changes. I can highly recommend Goodlife Home Loans. David Schmucker

Jul 29,2020I should begin by saying that I give Mike Maffe 5 stars for the work that he did and his availability to respond to my questions and to provide relevant information concerning the Reverse Mortgage process. He is very professional. I feel that the process could use some tweeking in particular as it relates to the Appraisal process and the communication between Goodlife, the appraiser and the home owner. If I am having to pay for the appraisal, I should have some "say so" in the selection process. End result was fine..getting there a bit amateurish.

Jul 23,2020I applied for this loan at a very stressful time in my life. The whole experience was so positive. My loan officer Dawn Bestafka is the best. She expertly guided me through all the steps in the process and was always available for questions when I had them. When a few small hurdles occurred she knew what needed to be done to resolve them. Because of COVID there were some new options such as a drive by appraisal. I felt like she genuinely cared about me and my situation and worked really hard to get the best outcome for me. I like many others had heard about some “negatives” regarding reverse mortgages. As part of the process you are required to get counseling which is invaluable in educating you about any & all questions you might have. Because of this I was 100% comfortable going forward. I have peace of mind that I’ll be able to take care of some immediate needs. Thanks to Dawn for giving me this.

Jul 18,2020Our application was handled by Michael Maffe. He walked us through the various stages of the refinance, and was unfailingly friendly, professional, patient, and, above all, transparent. We always felt comfortable with the process, and were pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I am glad to recommend Michael, and Good Life Home Loans, to anyone considering a reverse mortgage.

Jul 10,2020Mr. Maffe provided me with excellent customer service and easy to understand information, but also conducted his business with courtesy, kindness and good humor. I had been contacted by a number of other company representatives who no only did not seem to have the knowledge that Mike had, but did not show the level of respect that Mike showed to me. I will be happy to refer my friends to your company because I feel comfortable that they will be treated with respect and provided with a product that will help them to get the outcome that they are seeking

Jul 07,2020Everything went quite smoothly. I started researching Reverse Mortgages about three years ago. Dawn Bestafka responded to my inquiry at that time and never gave up. She was courteous, and persistent but not obnoxious. She is knowledgible and was able to answer all my questions with clarity. I was very comfortable knowing that I could contact her at any time. All in all, dealing with GoodLife Home Loans was a very fine experience.

Kenneth & Laura Leawood
Jul 01,2020Dave Schulte was a complete professional throughout the process. He gave us a calming reassuring outline of the advantages of the Reverse Mortgage(a program previously completely unknown to us). He offered several alternatives and pointed out the most advantageous plan for us, pointing out the reasons why we should go in that direction. We were quite skeptical at first(due to our ignorance and also due to our trepidations about our future, but he methodically went about walking us through the areas of concern. when we made our final decision, we felt quite secure we had made the best choice possible for us and would higly recommend Good Life and Dave Schulte to anyone who is in the same situation.

Jun 24,2020Chris assisted us through our reverse mortgage procedure and made it an enjoyable experience for us. From the first step to closing, he was honest and straight forward about every detail; always returned our calls and answered our questions quickly and accurately. He always made sure we knew what to expect at each step. He worked to give us the best outcome for our situation. We could not have asked for a better mentor and Goodlife is lucky to have him representing them. Chris is truly a class act!

Aug 01,2020I had an excellent experience GoodLife Home Loans. I worked with Mike Maffey who was extremely competent, patient and hard working. Mike went above and beyond to track down and redress issues that slowed the underwriting process down. I would recommend your company - and specifically Mr. Maffey for anyone seeking a reverse mortgage.
