Meet Owen Coyle
I’m Owen Coyle, an 87 year young “Seasoned Citizen” living in Escondido California. As of April 1, 2023 I’ll be starting my 23rd year as a Reverse Mortgage Specialist. I have no desire to retire, so as long as my health remains good, I’m planning on helping senior homeowners obtain Reverse Mortgages at least until I’m 90, and hopefully a few years beyond. I absolutely have a passion for working with senior homeowners, improving their “Quality of Life” and giving them “Peace of Mind” by setting up Reverse Mortgages for them.

About El Cajon
El Cajon derives its name from the Spanish word for ‘box’ and thus the city’s nickname is ‘The Box’ for the box-shaped valley in which the city is situated. Early maps in 1873 and 1875 shortened the name of the town to Cajon until the establishment of a Post Office at which time the official name became El Cajon.
Settlement of the territory that would later become California was encouraged by the Spanish government with large land grants called ranchos. Many of these ranchos were established for the benefit of the Roman Catholic Church to construct missions in the area. Later under Mexican rule these land grants were made to individuals. After passing through several owners. The Land Act of 1851 paved the way for Thomas W. Sutherland filed a claim for the land on behalf of the heirs of Don Miguel Pedrorena.
