I had spent many years with an advisor whom i considered a friend. He grew money for me, this is true, but when i realized how much of a take he was getting, and it was running my IRA out completely, i was a bit alarmed. Bruce at Raymond James handles my parents account and had been completely trustworthy for a very long time. When i visited with my parents, he asked me if i might consider showing him my portfolio and he would review it. What he pointed out to me floored me, and i was so very grateful. There was no pressure but honest appraisal of things i was not aware of, and how they could help me. We discussed for a few months and then i made the switch. Bruce, Walter, Deb, Tanya and Francesca have treated me like a king (i'm not that big an account) and everything they promised has come to fruition to the point i've given them my entire account which they have diversified wonderfully. Whenever i visit SFlorida, Bruce asks me to come in and evaluate where we are now, and what he things we should do, as well as tax ramifications for any decision i make. I can strongly recommend Raymond James Glades Road office if you want honest, straight talking, hard working professionals who make you one of the family. Today, they sent my parents a huge bouquet of flowers to celebrate their 71st wedding anniversary. My mom could not stop raving about how special she felt. Thank you to the entire team. read more
