One of them (sometimes both) has always been available to answer my questions and explain things to me in a way that was clear and never condescending.

Arcadia is not a good choice to manage your money, they made a lot of errors. A few examples are…read moreincorrectly executing our back door Roth accounts and another employee calling me to tell me he has hours of work ahead of him to fix it and that person owes him lunch for a week. Most months I would have to email them to invest my automatic investment, it would just sit in a cash account. The last straw happened when I decided to purchase 35k worth of an artificial intelligence ETF mid-July. During the following two weeks it took a large hit. I decided to stop looking but the last time I had looked, once again, my regular automatic investment into a more conservative ETF was sitting in cash, so I emailed them asking to invest it, and deleted the Fidelity app. A week later, on August 7th 2024, my wife who almost never looks at our accounts decided to look and asked me why they sold out full position in the Artificial Intelligence ETF. I bought at the top of the market for a giant loss as well as our full position in a very long term hold of a vanguard technology ETF with significant long-term gains triggering a taxable event and put all of it into a conservative ETF a couple days prior without my knowledge or consent.  I called and emailed the owner and only heard back when my email said "I'm leaving the company". Mike, the CEO told me it was all bad luck and I must have walked under a ladder. I requested an in-person meeting, he told me he can do that after the summer with his family at his Cape Cod home and that will have to be sometime in September.  If you are looking for a hands-off experience or have little knowledge about investing I would steer clear of Arcadia Financial because you will not catch all of their errors they will consistently make , which will be detrimental to your goals. If you are like me, who have a working knowledge of investments, and think hiring someone may help you stay the course, you'll be managing the portfolio yourself anyways by telling them to fix all the mistakes they make. Quite frankly, I don't know who would be a good candidate to work Arcadia Financial. No skin off their back though. Part of my conversation with Mike when he was summering at his beach house, was to tell me he has enough portfolios where he can just coast from this point if he chooses. If you are on the fence about allowing them to manage your money, I encourage you to check out past employee reviews. Common examples include not being payed correctly, bad moral, and no leadership.

A proper underwriting review would include a full list of items needed to close not a game of tag and back and forth. They won't even pick up the phone to contact the HOA or insurance companies to obtain the information, they hide behind emails. I had to call myself and get it for them. I have called Ermir several times to get this finalized and he hasn't returned even one of my calls. If you are looking for a mortgage company don't use Pinnacle.

I used State Farm from Mr. Chan many, many years ago when he was new to Concord and was always…read morehappy with his service. Over the years, for a variety of reasons, I ended up with various other companies. Lately however I began to feel that I was being overcharged. Recalling that I had been happy with State Farm and The Chan Agency in the past I decided to get a quote from him. And was I glad I did! Reagan - I hope I'm spelling that properly - was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Unfortunately her computer was having issues which prevented her from getting me an immediate quote. But she promised to work on it and get back to me as soon as she could... which she did within just a few hours. Imagine my shock when she informed me that State Farm could save me nearly HALF what I had been paying. I almost fainted! Of course we will see how they handle claims when and if I have any. But I have every confidence that going with State Farm was a good decision. Only wish I'd done it sooner!

Choose another agent. Maybe you'll be treated as a valued customer…read more The people in the office are unhelpful and rude. Reagan is especially unhelpful. All responses I received from her seemed rushed as if she was bothered by me asking any questions. They only call when they want to sell you insurance. I never met Louis Chan and was never contacted by him in 4 years with his office. All the office wanted was my money and not to be bothered. They took a temporary address and requoted my insurance without telling me and sent me a bill with a retroactive date they chose arbitrarily. They never bothered to communicate with me about it - just sent the bill. When I called back, they showed obvious frustration that they would have to change it. They called, threatening that my insurance was going to be cancelled without politely asking questions. It was rude and I wish that I had switched insurance long ago - prior to my move out of the area.

The son (Francesco Finocchiaro) of Santo Finocchiaro was going to try to charge me $750 when I met with him. This insulting price was to prepare two fairly simple tax filings. Keep in mind that only two weeks earlier while shopping for an accountant to help with my taxes I had been quoted $250. That was to prepare both filings. This was quoted to me by an entirely separate and unrelated accountant working in another town. I have every reason to believe the father, Santo Finocchiaro was a reputable accountant who up to this point built a solid business and understood the meaning of what is fair. As for doing business with the son though, I say be safe. I wouldn't have a thing to do with him. Attempting to price gouge his customers strongly suggests an opportunist. That young man has a lot to learn about word of mouth in regards to reputation and what is fair when dealing with customers. That is of course if he ever wants any of them to return to do business with him again. If I could have given this business a lower rating than just one star - I would have. And NO. I would not refer this business now to anyone nor will I stop warning people of my experience there. What's fair is fair.

I yelped insurance companies in my area and MTM came up and had great reviews. I called and was connected to Laurie(owner also). Right off the bat she was everything I was looking for in a agent. She was informative,personable,straightforward. There prices were very competitive and seems to carry very good companies for coverage. I hope this is a start to a long relationship with MTM and hopefully I won't have to shop around again. Thanks Laurie!
