I've know Sarah for 15 years and she was my advisor for the last 6 years. My dad has recommended that I move my investments away from her for years based on the fact that my portfolio has consistently under performed the market even though I'm in my late 30s and had no need to be this conservative in my diversification. In 2021 my portfolio did 8% less than the market and 2020 it did 5% worse than the market. Again I'm in my 30's, no reason I should be under performing the market this much. I continued to look past this as I felt comfortable that I knew and trusted Sarah. When it came time to buy a house (Sarah of course built this into my retirement plan) she recommended her husband who is a realtor so we started to work with him. Lesson here do not mix multiple business relationships but again trusted her so we moved forward. Her husband, although a very nice person, was really lacking competitive drive and didn't work out. After barely hearing from him for 6+ months Sarah discovered we used a different relator while we were in the middle of escrow and needed funds to move funds to an escrow account and she was irate. She proceeded to send me harassing messages very late at night through Facebook, extremely unprofessional. She cut off all communication to me and told me she was moving my accounts off of her to another advisor - I had no idea what implication this would cause being in the middle of escrow you can't change anything with money. Sarah blocked all communication from me and refused to assist me with anything I needed regarding my accounts, which was where my down payment was sitting. Needless to say, by far the most unprofessional and unwarranted behavior. She's irrational, unprofessional and also a poor advisor as again my portfolio was very poorly managed. Leaving CS/Sarah was way overdue. I highly suggest you explore other options when it comes to an advisor, Sarah is not someone to trust with something so important. read more
