It was nice to be able to work together to address my concerns, and I appreciate how open and flexible Roundleaf has been for me. There was a time period where I was very overwhelmed and confused in the process, and a tip I have would be to not hesitate in asking ask Roundleaf to slow things down and explain everything thoroughly. I had to educate myself on things I didn't know about, and it took a while to learn that that was okay. The Roundleaf team was always available to answer questions, and they were very good about following up/staying on top of processes. Looking forward to more growth, and I'm very glad to have Roundleaf's support along the way!

It was downhill from there. I was told by Rosalyn's assistant that my account was non-compliant with new regulations, and that I was "required" to have a consultation with Rosalyn. When I reluctantly agreed, Ms. Antonio spent the entire time telling me that I needed to have a larger retirement, but I did not ask her opinion, and my plans for retirement are my business, unless I ask for advice. After that, when I refused a "required annual consultation" I was told to take my business elsewhere! I've never been treated so unprofessionally in my life! So I have moved my account.

The realtor was giving me grief about his fees during closing and this was my first big financial transaction. I was basically on the verge of tears when I called Alfred and he never flinched- we immediately got on a conference call with the realtor and Alfred didn't take any if's, and's, or but's. I don't think the realtor knew what hit him. We have absolutely trusted Alfred with anything and everything since that day and he's never disappointed. We trust him completely. He is absolutely 110% "invested" in our client-advisor relationship. He's really been a voice of calm and reason whenever we're tempted to make "emotional" financial decisions. It's hard talking money with a spouse, but Alfred knows how to talk to both of us and get us on the same page. It feels like a team and we feel lucky to have him on it! We'd highly recommend Alfred and Dragon to anyone ready to make some financial plans or has a pending financial decision, who wants someone with experience and who cares.
