Agape Wealth Management, LLC Pros: Quick response, easy to…read morereach, available and punctual Cons: Not really anything negative to report, just didn't get to meet in person, but then again, didn't need to either. Gene and Brandon were both quick to respond and always available to answer questions. We set up a time to go over a list of items and they were prepared. Both communicated with me on what the plan was, emailed me as promised, gave me options for dates/times and was more than flexible when I needed to make last minute changes based on my schedule. I needed them to work on my forms ASAP and they did not disappoint. They got it done faster than I expected and explained it all to me in easy to understand terms. Overall, my experience AWM was impressive. They far exceeded my expectations in response time, finishing up loose ends, keeping me on task without being pushy and charged a fair price for the work done. They were so helpful and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had. If anyone is in need of getting your taxes done quickly, accurately, efficiently, and at the right price, give these guys a call. You won't be disappointed. I learned my lesson to let these experts do their thing. It is well worth the price (and it's not expensive) and peace of mind to let these professionals help you. I know they will be getting my business next tax season. I already feel at ease knowing they will be there to help me, whereas in the past, it would be so stressful for me. I can't thank them enough for helping me out of a jam.

I hired Gene and his team this year to file taxes and was hoping to create a long-term financial…read morerelationship with them. They are nice people and were really helpful with filing this year as well as previous years outstanding taxes. Unfortunately 6 months later it's still not complete and I am trying to finalize payment plans on my own. I tried to contact Gene multiple times with either no response or no follow through, so I ultimately ended my business with them. He did apologize and offered to finish the job after I ended our business, but it's been dragging on and weighing on me for over 6 months and a new tax season is coming up again in only 2 months and it's just not worth the headache anymore. I would not recommend hiring Agape Wealth Management unless you have easy simple taxes that don't need any communication or follow up from them.

If you're like my husband and I, you work to make ends meet, with hopes you can retire in the…read morefuture. We didn't have money to invest while we were working, but figured we both had pensions, an annuity and a 403b so hopefully we were okay. We sat down with a few financial advisors throughout the years, but never felt the connection with them or the fees to hire a financial advisor was out of our reach. Some financial advisors told us we didn't have enough monies to retire until age 67. Well last year on the recommendation of a work friend, I convinced my husband to attend a free retirement seminar EA Buck had in the Kapolei area. Hesitantly, my husband agreed saying he would accompany me, but going to classes was not his thing. To my surprise he enjoyed the seminar, participated in the Q&A's, felt the speaker was knowledgeable and said, let's sit down with one of their advisors and see what they say. A few weeks later were set to meet with Justin Hodges of the Kapolei office. That day changed our lives. Justin reviewed our portfolio, listened to what we had to say, entertained our ideas of wanting to retire early and actually said it was possible. What??? Really!!! Retirement in Las Vegas at the age of 55 and 57 was possible and a good idea? No negative response like that's a bad idea, or you don't have enough monies? How much is it going to cost us to work with you Justin? ...Nothing up front, you make money off of our investments? You can also manage everything remotely even when we move to Vegas? This is too good to be true!!! We now meet with Justin often. I bother him all the time by email or text. I ask him the same question all the time. We've become good friends. Justin is awesome! Easy to talk to, funny, knowledgeable in the tax and retirement rules and laws and he's smart. We're fortunate to have met him, we have full trust in his strategies and abilities. We recommend EA Buck and especially Justin Hodges to all our friends and family. Young and old it's never too early to work with EA Buck to set your retirement foundation. Wish we meet Justin sooner.

So I took my frail 81year old mother who walks with a walker and has shortness of breath, down to the Ameriprise office at 1585 Kapiolani Blvd and spent two hours filling out the required forms and providing them with bank account info so the money could be directly deposited. After a two week wait, we find out that "something happened" and "we don't know why" but the money was reversed and taken back by Ameriprise. No explanation given, no phone calls. No emails. So where is the money??? No one seems to know or have answer. Not surprisingly, Ameriprise is keen to take your money but not so much to give it back. This is the last company id ever trust with my money and would never do buisness with such a bunch of dishonest investment brokers.
