The gentleman who signed me up with Hoffman sure liked to talk about himself! You will have to…read morelisten to him brag about himself and how he played football in college. And evidentially he's on some radio station representing Hoffman. Unfortunately, when I changed investment companies, he would not replay to my email. I had extremely difficulty getting the info I needed to file my taxes. After several attempts, I finally lucked out and spoke with a young man in their Alpharetta offices. It left me with the feeling that once you transfer to another investment firm, it's difficult to get the information you need. I am so pleased with my new firm.

Thank you Hoffman Financial Group!!

Despite the insanity of 2020, we are now in a good position thanks to Casey, adding to our retirement accounts and have gotten our savings back to where it needs to be. I trust Casey and his team to make the best decisions for us, and perhaps best of all, Casey is extremely ethical and I fully trust him with our best interests. I also love that Casey makes himself available to his clients and establishes great relationships... I can and do reach out to Casey when I have financial questions!

I was in the corporate finance business for 35 years, I'm retired now but continue to advise people…read moreon financial subjects ranging from how to manage to retire decently to how to value their family business. Because of that I am picky about who manages my personal money. I have been with Schwab for close to 40 years and in that time I have continued to be impressed with their business model. Their people are not paid off of commission so you can be assured that they are not giving advice based on making a buck off of you. They give advice based on what is good for you. There are multiple levels of service. You can start with them just out of school, invest for close to nothing, get access to their great research, and or work with some of their standard investment advice tailored to your risk appetite, etc. You can open a Schwab One account with no minimum, no charge for online trading, etc. At some point, when your portfolio is sufficiently large, you can join their Private Client service where you get a dedicated Financial Consultant, access to a wide range of specialists, tailored solutions, and pricing advantages meaning very low prices for almost everything... Later if you build substantial wealth they have a Private Wealth Management service which offers expanded services... All of their plans are based on fees that are independent of trades, sales of products, etc. You can always depend on Schwabs people to look out for your best interests, unlike some other brokers who may have incentives to steer you to investments that make big commissions for the broker. On of the reasons that I was able to retire early was the excellent investment advice I was given by Schwab. My financial consultant talks with me periodically to discuss balancing my portfolio, managing my tax situation, assisting with any big spending needs that I foresee. He even assisted with a temporary loan against some of my assets so that I could build a new home prior to selling the one I was living in. This is simply world class service as far as I am concerned. My personal consultant as well as the consultant in Atlanta who works with me have both gotten to know me and my wife. They have visited my home in SC, they occasionally offer to take us out to talk at a high end restaurant. They know my personality and are able to deal with my financial needs as a result of that personal connection. The returns they earn me are very good for the evil of risk I am willing to take. I can say without a doubt that they have saved me substantial sums of money by watching mu portfolio and warning me when they found investments that might be headed South. I could not be more pleased with a broker. I advise all the folks who ask me for help to consider Schwab and I honestly hold them in the highest esteem. If you are interested call (678) 297-7749 and ask for Sarah Glover... You don't have to live near Atlanta to do this, I'm living on Lake Hartwell in SC. BTW all I get for recommending them is the personal satisfaction of seeing people do well financially. I hope everyone out there spend less than they make, invests consistently, pays off their debt, and grows wealthy over time. It's not as hard as you might think, it just takes some planning and discipline.

From the owner: Chuck Schwab started a stock brokerage company with a simple question: isn't there a better way?…read moreThat question led to the establishment of a new kind of investment firm - with a more contemporary approach to wealth management based on a set of core values and beliefs, not just profits and losses. These core beliefs have led to 40+ years of serving clients, innovating on their behalf, and developing brokerage products and financial services that put them - not us - first. At Schwab, we offer a wide range of wealth management services, personalized financial advising and retirement planning, and expert investment research, as well as a number of complimentary workshops covering everything from investing essentials to complex trading strategies.

Don't waste your time. They didn't help us. Not sure why they do what they do with these…read moreinvitational groups they conduct regarding Social Security. Didn't really learn much. Mostly stories of scenarios when their multi-millionaire clients were mis-managing their money and they helped them.

If you're not a multi-millionaire then maybe you're not worth their time. One last thing, he uses techniques like political leanings to try to associate with you that he's a patriot.

I must say so far I'm totally impressed with the service, available products I have seen, and the tools available for the clients. It is a great feel in the office and the advisors make you feel your assets are safe with them. They really allow you a look at everything you have. That was a point I thought was missing at other places. Other places just look at where they think you should be but not if it is possible to actually be there right now. Oxygen takes your current situations into consideration and helps you manage where you should be and where you are not in a realistic manor. I highly recommend Jeremiah Thompson if your new to the place. He is a great guy and I was very happy to keep him as my advisor during my move from his old company to here.
