All About AAG Reverse Mortgage
American Advisors Group, also known as AAG, is the leading reverse mortgage lender in the nation.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Orange County, CA, AAG works with homeowners age 62 and older to convert a portion of their home equity into retirement income using a reverse mortgage. American Advisors Group is dedicated to helping older Americans live a more financially stable life in retirement. The company attributes its success to a unique culture of caring and a sharp focus on customer service. As evidence of this unique culture, AAG has ranked as an Orange County Register Top Workplace for three consecutive years.
As the leading brand in the industry, AAG is proud of its relationship with award-winning actor Tom Selleck, who joined AAG as the company’s national spokesperson in 2016. Selleck works with AAG to inform older Americans about the importance of home equity and how a reverse mortgage can be used as a tool as part of a comprehensive retirement strategy. This role was previously filled by actor Pete Graves and former senator Fred Thompson.
