Welcome!
HomePorts is a non-profit membership organization helping residents
stay in their own home as they grow older. HomePorts has been
incorporated by the State of Maryland and began operation in
October 2008.
 The geographic
area covered is the greater Kent County, Maryland area, which
includes Chestertown, the Kingstown/Chester Harbor area, Crumpton
and all other towns and villages in Kent County.
Remaining in
one’s own home while growing old often requires major adjustments
and outside assistance, HomePorts, Inc., is in operation to
facilitate “aging in place”, promoting safe and healthy aging with
peace of mind for members and their families.

Have questions about
Reverse Mortgages??
We have all seen the commercials, and perhaps have heard friends and neighbors talking about them. What exactly are they and are they appropriate for your situation? Join us for an hour-long discussion in a no-sale, no-stress atmosphere where you can ask questions without fear of ending up on a prospecting list for some telemarketer.
DATE: January 24, 2012 from 1 to 2 pm.
WHERE: 2nd Floor conference room,
Chestertown town hall Building, 118 N. Cross Street
The speaker is Martin Knight who has an MBA from Loyola College and is a Certified Financial Planner™ in the Chestertown Area. He is the owner of Chesapeake Investment Advisors, Inc., Securities and Advisory Services offered through Geneos Wealth Management, Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC. He does not sell or write reverse mortgages—this is strictly an educational event.
