I've been pleasantly surprised with the high level of professionalism, business acumen, diligence and warmth from the team. I have been especially attracted to the process this team has in place to keep you honest to achieve your goals but yet making it easy and going the extra mile to provide transparency and honest feedback on things that an investor need to keep in mind. I personally worked with Brett who has taken the time to walk through extensive details and several scenarios of what the future might look. I'll certainly recommend working with this team!

I also was missing out on some big tax benefits that should help with saving for a home big time. Now I'm regretting waiting this long to use a CFP but better late than never. I was as skeptical as anyone but trust me, take an initial appointment, you'll only benefit!

When I worked in the corporate environment, I never had a problem earning money. Saving it was…read moreanother story...but I was making enough that frankly it didn't matter as long as the paychecks kept coming and the 401K savings was auto-deducted. It wasn't until I made the leap to small business owner where my deeper underlying money beliefs reared their ugly heads. Things got super real...in not a good way. My chronic tendency to depreciate the value of my heart-centered hard work meant that I was constantly underpricing and in a state of "not enough". I've been working with Heather for a few months and have been amazed at the shifts. Starting at the first meeting we were able to access and clear some of the mistaken beliefs that I have about money (tied to old but subconsciously powerful traumas). I've raised my rates and started being able to self-regulate when fear and anxiety raises it's ugly head. I've taken a number of classes on the mechanics of handling money..but working with Heather is the first time that we've gotten to the underlying reasons of why. Highly recommend!

I think he's nice and would maybe be a good fit for someone who does not know what they want or doesn't want to think about anything related to their financial goals.

I'm a real Customer with a real review and I am going to be completely honest in this review. Jesse…read moreis a real person who pays attention to his clients. He genuinely cares about the people he does work for. Some of these reviews on here are describing a magical experience with Jesse's credit repair services, it's like they're almost describing an overnight fix, and that's great if it happened to them like that but for me it was different experience. For me, It took a little more time then what I anticipated. It took a little over 6 months before Collections started to fall off. But I did see results, results that eventually lead me to get approved for a $10,000 credit line ! I swear I'm not lying I actually got approved for a $10,000 credit limit with Discover !!! Ok so back to my experience while working with Jesse, Right from the start I noticed he was able to stop a new Collection from appearing on my credit report & that was great that I was able to communicate with him and tell him that I'm getting harassed by a small collector for the sum of $150, Jesse advise me not to respond to them, and as soon as it shows up on your CR I will work on it, so it showed up on my CR and then it disappeared I felt less than a month later. Ok now on to the Collections I already had on my CR,Comparing to the other stories in these reviews my credit was nowhere near as bad I only had 3 hospital Bills & 1 utility bill that showed up (paid )but still showed on my CR as derogatory Because When I paid it I was not aware that it was already in collection.... in which paying after Collection makes it 10 times harder to be removed & is still on my CR Today! I also had One late payment on the store account that happened over a year ago only one time that is still on my credit report until today, so somethings are harder to get removed than others. And with Jesse I've learned that sometimes it's not about the cash amount of The collection that matters most but it's the consistency of the collector, and they could be consistent over a freaking dollar ! or A late payment that happened 16 months ago! So any way all together I only had about $1600 worth of bills in collection & they was mostly hospital bills, and it took a long time to get them off , I almost wanted to give up because I read on reviews everywhere that "Jesse removed My Collection for over $100,000" " and it only took three months" So i really got discouraged because my Collection accounts was stupid hospital bills for only $500 to $600 a piece & I only 3 but it was so difficult to get removed! It literally took a little over six months. But when they did get removed & I listened to Jesse's advice my credit score went from 580 to 700 ! TransUnion, 520 to 690 Experian 540 to 698 Equifax... So to end this Novel size review is Jesse has work magic for me it may have taken a little more time but everybody's CR and Collections are different. But I'm 100 % sure if you stick with Jesse you will see results ! Because I did !

100% recommend!! I…read morewas a little skeptical at first thinking it was a scam and that it was too good to be true, but after reading his reviews, I chose to move forward. I paid for his services for exactly a year. And after a year, Jesse was able to knock off around $20k of collections off of each of the three credit bureaus! Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed after the year mark to the point I requested to discontinue services and Jesse was very understanding and said my one year membership just expired and he already filed the next round of disputes and to expect a change within the next 90 days. Well 3 weeks later, he managed to get a $14k collection removed from all three bureaus!! To think I was on the verge of filing bankruptcy before I googled local credit financial services here in Seattle, I'm glad I trusted him. My credit score has jumped at least 150 points. Thanks so much Jesse! Please let me know if there are any other services you offer!
