Who is David Rider, CRMP?
David Rider is a Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) and licensed mortgage loan originator (NMLS #200787). He has worked in Arizona real estate since 1985, a licensed real estate broker since 1993, and in mortgage lending since 2002, and for the past decade has specialized exclusively in reverse mortgages and senior home equity, helping homeowners 62 and older use their home equity to fund retirement. He is licensed in Arizona, California, and Tennessee and originates through NEXA Lending, LLC (NMLS #1660690) under the brand Senior Resources Mortgage, based in Mesa, Arizona.
The CRMP is the reverse mortgage industry's highest credential, held by fewer than 2% of reverse mortgage originators and awarded by the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA). David is also a 23-year real estate educator: from 2001 to 2024 he was an approved instructor at the Arizona School of Real Estate & Business, cleared to teach more than 200 courses including broker pre-licensing, with a focus on real estate financing. He offers a full panel of products, FHA HECM, HECM for Purchase, HomeSafe Second, Longbridge Platinum, and senior second liens, rather than a single-product line, and his license can be verified at NMLS Consumer Access.
Why I do this work.
I've been in real estate since 1985 and the mortgage industry since 2002. For the last decade, I've focused exclusively on reverse mortgages, not because it's a good product to sell, but because I've watched what happens to people who don't have the right financial plan when life gets hard.
For 23 years, I also taught it. From 2001 to 2024 I was an approved instructor at the Arizona School of Real Estate & Business, cleared to teach more than 200 courses, including broker pre-licensing, with a focus on real estate financing. If you earned your license in Arizona during those years, there's a real chance you sat in one of my classes. Teaching is how I think about this work: my job is to make sure you understand the decision, not to sell you one.
My wife has a disability. I understand, at ground level, what it means to want to stay in your home, to need modifications, to feel the weight of financial uncertainty while trying to maintain dignity and independence. I'm not an outside observer of the challenges my clients face. I live them.
So when I sit down with someone who's 70 years old, asset-rich and cash-constrained, worried about outliving their money, I'm not running a sales process. I'm trying to help. That's been true for four decades, and it doesn't change now.
If a reverse mortgage isn't the right fit for your situation, I'll tell you that. A decision made with full information is always the right one, even when it's "no."
