I have been retired for almost 10 years. A year prior to retirement, financial planning wasn't a…read morepriority. Someone referred me to Insight to Wealth for a review. Overwhelming skepticism! I was thinking I could setup my own retirement plan. The more research I did, the more worried I became. I began to imagine the tremendous effort, patience and expertise required. I asked for a plan. Enter Brian S. Brian emphasized that a hedge against inflation is key in a solid retirement plan. I didn't think of that. So, he setup a diversified plan consolidating all my IRAs and 401ks using various investments vehicles. The variety provided protection against inflation, he said. 10 years later, I am living a lot more comfortably than during my working years, thanks to Brian and his team of experts!

Samantha helped me acquire a life insurance policy after being denied coverage with several of the…read morenew online-only providers (ladder, haven). The problem was that I was an active rock climber when I started looking for insurance a couple years ago and that risk made them decline to offer coverage. This, by itself, made it harder to get a life insurance policy. I tried applying to several other life insurance companies but they all funneled me to independent brokers, who were not very helpful. Samantha was a breath of fresh air when I finally contacted her. She was quick to assess the situation and got the ball rolling with a very respectable life insurance company that was a little more lenient about rock climbing. The whole process only took a couple weeks and Samantha constantly kept me updated with the status. She's helpful, friendly, and most importantly, trustworthy. Happy I found her and I will definitely come back to her for more financial planning needs in the future.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Samantha and hope this can be a life-long partnership - she is very talented and astute with markets and really has our back with every decision.

I had talked with four financial advisors including Fidelity Investments over 3 month period while retired. I was impressed with David Woodworth and opinions he had suggested. Basically, I purchased an annuity through 'USSA' through Fidelity Investments, so I would receive monthly checks for rest of my life. Plus, my other monthly income includes: social security, rental properties and mineral rights. In addition, I left some 401k $$$ in my Fidelity Investment Accounts, giving Fidelity Investment the 'Okay' to manages these dollars. I have been asked repeatedly by friends / family how much do I pay Fidelity Investment, my response have been minimum. They all look at me with a confusing expression, then I tell them %% I've made over past 2 yrs, and they all quickly say, 'I Would Pay For Their Services.' At retirement everybody's finances are different, and I just wanted to share my positive experience with Fidelity Investment, Walnut Creek and especially a Big Thanks to Mr. Woodworth. ***** Stars *****

This appealed to us because we were looking to hire someone who would manage our investments according to what would be best for US, not where they would get the most commissions. I don't like dealing with accounting stuff and was dreading the process before our initial appointment, but they ended up making it fun for us, yes, FUN! We did some exercises that helped us define what kind of a life and future we wanted, where we saw ourselves and the process from there was pretty easy. Evor and Johnny exceeded our expectations as far as the services they provided. We were expecting someone to manage our accounts, but they went over our trust documents, disability insurance, taxes, and had great referrals to the best of people in all those areas. What I like most about working with Evor and Johnny is that they are very pleasant to deal with, easy to get ahold of and answer any questions you may have, personable, transparent, have high level of integrity, and truly care about your personal goals and future. I have been recommending them to friends and family and anyone looking for a trustworthy financial advisor.

I had a hodge podge group of investments new and old both, brokerage, IRAs, Roth's, etc. that just ended up in a box - unwatched. Even though I dreaded changing all the accounts over, Evor made the process seamless! He filled out ALL the forms, made all the calls, gave me my tax info, all I had to do was sign the forms... Now I have the peace that he is taking care and watching my investments. He emails or calls me when he feels we should move money from one sector to the next, sends out an informative news letter AND I now get all my investment info in one nice package that is easy to understand. To top it off the fees he charges are very resonable. I would highly recommend his services.
