Faqs |
Why should I choose you as my financial advisor?I believe this: some people click and some people don't. A good advisory relationship is like a friendship. You want trust advice, not a sales pitch and I believe that process begins with me being a good listener. Once we get to know each other, I like to invest slowly, over time, using a patient systematic approach that let you feel like we are in control and working collaboratively. |

As fiduciary advisors we discuss all of these compensation options with our clients before we do any work for them. We prefer to work as investment managers as advisors, but we also offer flat rates for financial and retirement planning and occasionally we are compensated as brokers. All of this is explained before we proceed. |
