Kristen Sieffert, President Finance of America Reverse LLC, was honored with the Mortgage Lending’s Women of Inspiration Award by National Mortgage Professional.

When asked about how Kristen got into this field and what keeps her motivated to stay, Kristen responded that, “After graduation college, a friend told me about this great opportunity with a reverse mortgage company. I had no idea what a reverse mortgage was, but I was intrigued by the prospect of working with a good friend and seeing what could come of it. That was 16 years ago! Since then, there have been several pivotal moments when I almost left. Each time I entered into a new rewarding growth phase. Now at FAR, I have found a sense of purpose in my work that I couldn’t have anticipated early on.”

Regarding great female mentors and the importance of mentoring, Kristen explained, “I’ve never had a formal mentor, female or male, but I’ve had a number of “accidental mentors” – people I’ve worked for or with- who took the time to invest in me and help me grow, and played a pivotal par in my success. Now that I’ve served as a mentor – mostly to women I’ve met outside of our industry, – I’m finding how transformative and rewarding of an experience it can be for the mentor as well as the mentee.”
