They follow up with a meeting to discuss, if needed. I had proposed a small change and provided a rationale. They made it happen. They are very client focused. Also, being independent, as contrasted to one of the major investment advisory firms, they take a more personalized approach with limited bureaucratic stuff. I've found them extremely responsive to my questions. I'm 3 months in as of now, and all my questions have been answered within the same day in which I send them. They are happy to explain how things work, and why the portfolio is optimal for me, and even run probability numbers to show likely scenarios years down the road. Very easy to work with.

UGH what a total [insert bad word here]…read more As part of my job, I have to call to verify a couple of information regarding a loan. When I called Qing to verify with her some info she had sent to one of our mutual client to pass onto us, she freaking screams back at me over the phone saying "It's your job you figure it out! I don't have time for this nonsense! You're suppose to do all this! Go call the client and ask him the details!" Um.. isn't that what the client is paying YOU to do? bottom line is.. she's rude, disrespectful, and hard to deal with even over the phone. oh and the kicker is, after screaming at me over the phone for a good 10 minutes she had the audacity to tell me she needs the forms completed by me IMMEDIATELY! then hung up on me! needless to say, I waited til the end of the day to complete that one just to piss her off a little.

The trouble started when she offered me a rate I thought was uncompetitive. I explained my reasoning -- the rate was above market average while I have stellar credit and substantial equity -- and asked her to improve it. She refused and turned hostile. She told me I was a bad customer, that I treated her with disrespect, that she was only helping me as a favor, etc. She continued being rude and condescending in all subsequent conversations I had with her. When I told her this attitude was unprofessional and unacceptable, she redoubled her verbal abuse. I "fired" her on the spot and will never work with her or refer friends to her again.

Qing Qiu == Less Interest…read more Qing took care of our second refinance that just closed as promised. She delivered an amazingly low interest rate for our 30-year fixed loan. Wells Fargo, Citibank, Bank of America, and a different loan broker all wanted at lest 0.375% more interest and some with fees on top. Qing delivered this better rate with zero costs/fees -- as in this was a totally free refi for us. Now these savings come at a cost. In order to give these good deals, Qing has many loans going on at the same time. She doesn't have time to hold everyone's hand. For this reason she is terse and you have to trust that she will deliver what she verbally promised. My brother is now refinancing with Qing to take advantage of the better deal she offers.

So I got Qing Qiu's number from a coworker and contacted her regarding a refinance. At the very…read moreonset she was EXTREMELY RUDE and had a nasty attitude.

Albert is a true professional, efficient, and dedicated; with his expertise and at his suggestion, we were able to lock rates at a low. However, Albert never pushed us to choose one path or the other; he always gave us all the information we needed to make an informed and educated decision. As a realtor, I have worked with many loan brokers and Albert stands heads above the rest.

Over the years I've had plenty of experiences with Fidelity's security. They have excellent voice…read morerecognition which is superior to pins and passwords which are so easily stolen. From stolen wallets and checkbooks to attempts to commit identity theft, Fidelity has excelled in protecting my account both brick and mortar and online. I compare this to service from Citibank which came up short. Very. Short. The only other organization with security that comes close is American Express. If your account has been targeted Fidelity will raise the security of your account. They will freeze some easily exploited features. This means you can't use it either but it just means you need to call Fidelity and get verified by their voice recognition and they will excute the action on your behalf. The following is a duplicate of a Yelp review that I submitted on another account. Yelp cannot merge accounts so they recommend you copy your reviews then delete the extra account. The original review was submitted in 2020, You judge quality when the chips are down. Recently, I was burglarized And the burglars left spyware on all the machines in my home network. Yeah, that's why they didn't bother to steal the equipment. This is how you reset your passwords when your equipment is compromised. You go to Fidelity and you reset your password. The manager himself carried equipment out to me. The staff let me stay late to finish up. The staff looked up 800 numbers for me. They dialed the numbers and held the line until I was ready for the call. It was almost surreal. Not one other financial institution came close to this level of service. Far as I can figure Fidelity has the best security against identity theft that I've encountered.
