I contacted Brian through Yelp a couple weeks ago and made it VERY clear from the beginning I was…read morelooking for a quote for tax filing/preparation only for this year. My initial message: "Hi Brian, I am just looking for a quote for 2023 tax filing, not to actually start it yet. We will be needing help on a couple of tax situations this year." His exact response: "Understood. I will provide a quote for 2023 during our call. I just sent the questionnaire." He then emailed me the questionnaire; I put I was interested in "Individual taxes" and sent it back to him, I NEVER put I was interested in Investment management or any other kind of financial services. So he knew this whole time I only wanted tax preparation. He still proceeded to call me today and asked a few questions related to our tax situation. Then at the end of the call he asked if I was looking for someone to manage our investments, I said not at this point...we are only looking for tax preparation now. His tone completely changed and he abruptly told me in a condescending manner we are not a good fit because they are saturated with tax preparation clients and he's looking for clients who want investment management. I was pretty shocked at the change in his tone and his annoyance once I told him I didn't need someone to manage our investments. Again, I made it VERY clear from the start I was looking for tax preparation services only from my initial message AND the questionnaire he had me fill out. I honestly don't know why he still called and was rude when he knew he couldn't take on any more clients who only wanted tax filing.

My husband and I had the fortunate opportunity to have had Jeff Grant and Sand and Sea Investments as our real estate investment agent. We found him knowledgeable, respectful and most importantly acted with integrity regarding our recent purchase. Under challenging circumstances Jeff worked hard finding an excellent Starker 1031 exchange property with just one remaining day before the expiration date. After escrow closed Jeff and his team then listed the property for rent, interviewed and personally screened all applicants managing the entire process to the move in date. Throughout our experience he was respectful and polite, a true professional. In the past we've worked with many real estate agents both for our personal homes and investment properties. We confidently recommend Jeff Grant as the most exemplary model of the ideal Real Estate Agent.

At the initial meeting, we discussed our financial goals and subsequently provided requested information for the plan.  Once the plan was prepared we had another meeting to review the plan including action items for us to perform.  This included things like rebalancing 401(k) and other investments in addition to other action items to complete.  We do annual checkup planning meeting with Planning Within Reach and find the discipline very helpful to stay on track with financial goals. If you are starting out or a few years from retirement, this service is worth every dollar.  We have confidence and peace of mind having our plan in place and recommend it to anyone looking for financial planning services.

Kirill's work, in particular, was exceptional.
