I've know Sarah for 15 years and she was my advisor for the last 6 years. My dad has recommended…read morethat 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.

Incompetence at its finest. When we decided to go with Sarah Reznick at Edward Jones we had thought…read morewe were in good hands. When we first met Sarah she sold us a bill of goods promising top notch customer service and a experienced secure financial planning and services. We specifically told her only to move funds that would not cause any capital gains and tax issues. In addition we told her to check with our CPA before making any transactions. (Our CPA was included in our first meeting with Sarah.) So we thought everybody was on the same page. The first thing she did was transfer long term funds and sold them off costing us large capital gains and a huge tax bill. This was exactly what we said NOT to do!!! And as for customer service Sarah and her office staff where full of excuses and didn't take responsibility and tried to deny and deflect and blame everybody else including our previous advisors for her inexperienced actions. I could go on with additional facts of her incompetence but I think you get the just. Long story short we have moved our funds with another advisor.

Earlier this year, we transferred our portfolio to Edward Jones via Sarah Reznick, and within just…read morea few months, took back all our assets away from that company. When we initially met with Sarah, she said she understood our goals and we thought she would be managing our portfolio well. That wasn't the case. Not only was she simply a salesperson and not the one to handle our account (it went into the "mill" and the system handled it), but she ignored the fact that some of our portfolio was in gifted stock and, therefore, had a low cost basis. She talked about diversification from this stock but never told us that our portfolio would be entirely sold so that Edward Jones could invest in stocks/bonds that would meet our goals. Diversification is one thing, but selling everything is something else. Selling all our portfolio resulted in a nearly $90,000 capital gain. When we questioned Sarah, she was totally unaware of our gifted stock, and so had ignored a major part of our original discussion. She will cost us a lot of money when we file our tax returns. We filed a complaint with Edward Jones and the person handling the complaint seemed to understand the issues in a phone conversation. However, in a final written letter, she blamed us for not understanding how their managed portfolio advising worked. There was no admission of fault and there was no apology nor compensation from Sarah or the company at all.
