The Ontario Homeowner's Guide to Unlocking Home Equity Without Selling

A plain English guide for homeowners 55+ and their families, including the parts other people's brochures leave out.

  • The honest pros AND cons: including exactly how compounding interest shrinks your equity over time, with a worked ten-year example
  • Every option compared side by side: reverse mortgage vs. HELOC vs. refinancing vs. downsizing, so you can see when each one wins
  • Protection first: the red flags of predatory offers, the questions to ask any mortgage agent (including me), and a guide for the family conversation

Ragini Domenichini · Mortgage Agent Level 2

Written to protect you, not to sell you

I'm Ragini Domenichini, a licensed Mortgage Agent Level 2 with BRX Mortgage Inc. (FSRA #13463). Before this, I spent more than 20 years in financial services at CIBC, BMO, Scotiabank, and OMERS, including years on compliance projects, making sure products were sold honestly. I wrote this guide the way I wish every financial product were explained to my own mother: large print, plain English, and honest about the downsides.
