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.'
