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!

Pleasant experience, very fair value for a ring my son had. I don't think the value was known at…read morethe time my son received a ring back in his Little League days around age 10. He found it cleaning his room at age 16 and we looked up the value. Still expensive new, but resellers are getting $800 - $2000 for the ring with tiny tiny diamonds and a tiny tiny ruby that and with 14K gold at a high now, thought we would avoid the whole selling online experience. This was SO easy and a good experience for my son. Our valuation of the gold was on spot, they take their portion and still left with a nice chunk of money for my son. Very clean inside, cool A/C on a hot day too. I'd go here with anything else I wanted to trade for cash. As a chemically sensitive person, the air fragrance was a bit much inside, but it won't stop us from returning based on fair and honest pricing and positive experience.

I visited this branch last Friday around 4:00 PM because I was interested in opening an account…read more There were only a few people there, so I waited until someone became available. When I approached the front desk, the receptionist asked how she could help. I told her I wanted to open an account, and she asked what type. I explained that I wasn't sure and was hoping to speak with someone who could guide me through my options. She told me no one was available and that someone would call me instead. During this time, there was a man in a suit standing behind her who did not appear to be assisting anyone. The interaction felt rushed, as she quickly took my phone number and mentioned someone would contact me. I understand it was close to closing time (they close at 5 PM), but I arrived with enough time to at least schedule an appointment or receive proper assistance. It has now been a week, and I have not received any follow-up call. As someone ready to open an account and bring new business, this experience left a bad impression. Customer service and feeling welcomed matter, and unfortunately, this location did not meet those expectations.

I wholehearted recommend Palbir to anyone looking for a financial advisor to help them meet their…read morefinancial goals. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Palbir. We recently worked with him to get a wholistic view of our family's finances. What we enjoyed most about working with Palbir is how personable he is and how easy it is to work with him. He's also a great listener which helps him truly understand his client's situation along with their dreams and aspirations. Conversations with Palbir felt natural. He's extremely responsive to emails. It makes getting clarification on follow up questions easy. Each time we speak with Palbir, we would walk away with realistic solutions to improve our chances of reaching our financial goals. Palbir was detailed oriented and left no stone unturned when he analyzed our situation. If we were off target in certain areas, he was quick to pin down root cause and offer practical solutions to help us improve our chances for success. As a result of the adjustments we have made per Palbir's recommendations, we are already a little closer towards achieving our goals. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

I originally hired Palbir of Smart Path Wealth management to help me evaluate whether or not I…read morecould afford to buy a house in the next few years (I'm 30). After multiple discussions, he also helped me determine what I needed to do if I want to switch careers eventually and what the options are for investing with my values in mind. I am a software engineer with little extra mental energy after I leave work, so Palbir's willingness to explain every piece of his suggestions to me as well as answer all my questions was so incredibly helpful. I would recommend Palbir to anyone who wants sound financial advice, regardless of how much background they have in finances and investments. He's a good investment.

I was recently inspired to find a new bank, (if you know what I mean.) So I went directly across…read morethe street and found much of the same. With fewer and fewer options within the retail banking market, I realized there are not as many big names there once was. Then it dawned on me, my wife does her banking at Patelco. Personal finance can be broken down in one sentence. "Poor people spend their money and save what's left and Rich people save their money and spend what's left." They Staff at Patelco Understand That It Is My Deposits That Facilitate Their Revenue Stream. The level of professionalism the staff conducted themselves with was as refreshing as the complimentary cup of coffee. My hope is that this message get the attention of some other folks that manage businesses, and that they are encouraged to STEP UP THIER GAME, and not just engage in a competition of less for more when it comes to their competitors. I have a feeling that this will be a long and prosperous relationship. As of now, Patelco in Livermore has my endorsement.
