Terry Connealy, President, Mutual of Omaha Mortgage

In July 2018, the reverse mortgage industry received exciting news when the acquisition of San Diego-based mortgage company Synergy One Lending and its reverse mortgage subsidiary, Retirement Funding Solutions, by Mutual of Omaha Bank was finalized by federal regulators.

Having the iconic Mutual of Omaha brand name involved in the reverse mortgage space was welcome news, because it further legitimized reverse mortgages as a retirement planning solution for America’s aging population.

Synergy One co-founders Torrey Larsen and his brother Tyler have continued to be instrumental in the operation of the company, now re-named Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. Just recently, Terry Connealy was named president of Mutual of Omaha Mortgage, allowing Torrey Larsen to focus on strategy and business development for the company. Under Connealy’s leadership, Mutual of Omaha Mortgage has remained a dominant force in the business, ranking fourth among HECM producers in fiscal year 2020.

Connealy has also become an important thought leader through his participation on NRMLA’s Board of Directors. Reverse Mortgage Magazine sat down with Connealy to learn more about his background, Mutual of Omaha’s recent restructuring and his plans for the future.

Larry is the Best!! I was referred to Larry and could not be happier for the result. I had a unique circumstance, I was just out of bankruptcy and I had to save my house from foreclosure. I just got in under the time to qualify from the better limits under the old rules for a larger line of credit. Because my bankruptcy estate was not fully complete I had to get a court order from the bankruptcy judge to remove my house from my bankruptcy estate. With a time limit of 12/31/13 to close the financing, which I had to have to pay off the amount due to get out of foreclosure. Once I had the court order, Larry did a miracle in getting the paper work complete to close. I ended up closing the reverse mortgage on 12/31/13 at 12:30 pm, just 4.5 hours left in the year to close the deal! Larry saved my house and life. I can never express the amount of gratitude I have for his great service. THANK YOU LARRY!!!!!

Extremely Patient, Courteous, and Helpful My father recently concluded a reverse mortgage for which Mr. Larry McAnarney was the loan officer. I sat in with my father on several of the discussions to help him through the process. Mr. McAnarney was extremely patient, courteous and helpful. He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure that my father understood his options and was comfortable. His conduct was very professional, while exhibiting genuine care for the elderly client whom he was serving. Both my father and I felt very confident about his knowledge, ethics and professionalism. I would recommend Mr. McAnarney to anyone considering the option of a reverse mortgage.
