Fee-only, commission-free advice and services
We legally cannot accept commissions, referral fees, or kickbacks from any of the companies or products that we recommend to our clients.
Sworn Fiduciary
We are required by law to do what is in your best interest, at all times, without exception. (FYI: Over 85% of financial advisors are NOT fiduciaries)
