He quickly diagnosed my financial health and we discussed my goals--graduate school, present needs, and retirement--in detail. I tried investing on my own for years with minimal results. In just a few months with Ryan, I've achieved what took me years to reach on my own. He's outstanding to work with - he prioritizes communication, responds quickly to emails, and is always willing to jump on a call when I have questions. His market knowledge is extensive, and I trust his recommendations completely. I've recommended Ryan to friends and family, and I'd strongly encourage you to call Gerber Kawasaki and hop on a quick call with him.

I have worked with Schwab for many years and had a wonderful experience today. I am away from home…read moreand happened to be next door to a Schwab office in Cincinnati, Ohio. I walked in, without an appointment, and asked if an investment advisor might be available to assist with a specific question. I waited five minutes. The advisor was outstanding. He was knowledgeable and thorough and answered almost all of my questions. But even more importantly, he told me that there were others at Schwab who were even more knowledgeable about the most detailed and nuanced elements of my question. He set up a call for me from one expert, which I received soon after. That advisor was even more helpful. I feel totally prepared.

I recommend Manor Ridge Wealth for anyone who wants to place their money in the hands of people who truly care about your investment goals and who you can trust to always have your best interests at heart.

He deals with older folks closer to retirement. But that didn't stop Sam from spending over an hour of his time, thoughtfully and caringly dispensing financial advise on any question or worry I might have had. And when I ran out of questions, he raised a few of his own. Things I had never even thought about (but should have). He helped me figure out if it was worth it to buy a property in LA. If we should sell my condo in Chicago. And most importantly, he helped me create a financial plan for the near future. Sam made sure I understood the need for a CPA, encouraged me to get my estate in order, and offered to look at my current life insurance policy to make sure I was getting the right plan. He had nothing to gain by spending this much time with me, but he gave it his all. And after we parted ways, he followed up with me to see if i had anoy other questions and let me know i could email him in the future. I never expected a financial planner to care about anything buy finances, but Sam clearly did. So while i may have left the office without a financial planner, I definitely left with a financial plan and a little more faith in humanity. Thanks Sam.

I've been helping her as I can and thought this workshop would help me better understand the process. The workshop was amazing - straight forward answers to all my questions, provided in terms we all could understand. Sam's calming presence took a lot of the anxiety of these matters completely out of the equation. Then I met with Sam for my own personal finances. He actually advised me!!! No sales pitch, no invalidation, just straight forward and to the point. Honest if even a little harsh, but I needed to heard it, being a single mom and wanting to leave something for the kids but still enjoy life... I highly recommend making an appointment with Sam. Your future should be in your hands and he'll help you learn how to take back your own finances. Sam is like a coach! Tough but dedicated to you knowing all the plays needed for your goals!
