Tracy Shen

Florin Group, LLC

I’ve been in the Financial industry for over 20 years and my passion is helping multi-generational families with proper and effective communication and planning. I have experienced multi-generational planning first hand and can attest to the need for proper planning. My family has 3 generations living together for past 15 years. We have experienced everything from new babies to the need for geriatric care during this time. 

I have developed a foundation of Strategic Alliances that assist in preparing the best possible plan for every family Florin Group works with. We find that most families don’t talk about finances and avoid the conversations until a crisis is happening. This is where Florin Group steps in. As a neutral 3^rd party, we are able to start the conversations and provide objective advice, that allows our clients to make decisions that benefit everyone involved before the need arises.

We provide a service that bridges the gap between the generations.

As a licensed Loan Officer with Reverse Mortgage Funding LLC (RMF), it gives me great satisfaction to show people how funds from a reverse mortgage loan could help them live more comfortably and with fewer financial constraints. For example:

• Establishing a “rainy day” fund
• Supplementing your income
• Paying off an existing mortgage or other debts to improve cash flow
• Paying monthly bills
• Making home improvements or modifications
• Paying for healthcare
• Covering the cost of in-home care, whether medical or non-medical
• Making a major purchase such as a new vehicle
• Buying a home
