She listens to my goals and guides me to achieve them. I was first paired up with her when she was training with my original Edward Advisor and when she was ready to open her own office, I chose to follow her. I have since, moved to Illinois and have three Edward Jones offices within two miles of my new home and I still make the drive to Maplewood. I am that satisfied with the success I have achieved by working with her. Jennifer makes herself available when I have questions, and has contacted me when she thinks I need to be aware of a change in the market. I am extremely pleased with the way my portfolio is trending in this economy. I also like Melissa, Jennifers assistant. Many times she can assist me, instead of bothering Jennifer with a simple investment or change in my portfolio. Also, we swap stories about our fur-babies. If you need a financial planner, this is the one I recommended.

Just another complaint in a long list, with the twist that business was done unknowingly via a…read moremisleading Airbnb listing. There is no connection with STL Smart Rentals on the "host's" listing, but the "host" works for STL Smart Rentals, and there are undisclosed third parties associated with STL Smart Rentals, who join the chat after booking. My place was a pit and smelled of old urine. The photos say it all. I gave them a chance to clean, in which they picked up a ball of hair and the trash from the windowsill and left everything else. I then asked for my money back and because it was after Airbnb's 24 hr policy they couldn't force the host to return the money but repeatedly requested the host to cancel and return the money. If I canceled then I got nothing, they could relist the property, and my case with Airbnb would be closed. Then in a dispute with the Better Business Bureau they cited the lack of cancellation as why the money was not refunded. (eye roll) Airbnb does not care about their guests or hosts. I've got heaps of documentation of our exchange even, an email stating that they are personally sorry and if it was up to them they would issue the refund, but they have to follow the "policy" which is not a law... and it is all at the discretion of the host, who they have contacted multiple times. If you want to see it contact me. They are dishonest and unethical.

Smart Rentals are basically money-grubbing slumlords…read more I moved into a filthy apartment. To their credit, they gave me half a month free rent in exchange for the ridiculous amount of cleaning I had to do. One room reeked of urine. They raise the rent $50 every year plus "maintenance" fees because "it is the market price and we do it across the board" despite the fact that the raised the rent and "maintenance fees in 2021 in the midst of COVID and rampant unemployment. This year they decided to raise the rent $100 a month plus an increase in "maintenance" fees--twice what I was told I would pay in yearly $50/month increases. In the fall, I twisted my ankle walking from my apartment to my car because Smart Rentals failed to do any kind of raking. During the winter, the walkways were sheets of ice as were the parking spaces. On a thaw day, I went out and kicked all of the ice off the walkways and parking spots. The dumpster is disgusting and led to a plague of insects over the summer. The slope down to the creek contained a massive pile of garbage bags--likely in response to the dumpster debacle. Smart Rentals recently sprayed for cockroaches. Did we receive any rental remuneration for having to clean out our kitchens and cupboards for pest control? Nope. Apparently, Smart Rentals decided to cut down all the wires in the complex in response to a lawsuit re: tripping over an exposed wire. As a result, internet was cut off for the entire complex for 48+ hours. Did we see any rent remuneration for the convenience of losing internet service we pay for because they cut down all the wires? No. Did we receive any rental/fee remuneration for the work we may have had to miss in order for the internet technicians to get into our apartments to rewire? Absolutely not. Did they raise the rent 2x to cover the astronomical fees they must have payed for having to reinstall the entire network in the complex due to their own stupidity? Probably. Please enjoy these photos of the apartment I am being asked to pay $1000/month in rent and "maintenance" fees.
