I had been searching for a financial planner for some time -- specifically a fee-only Certified…read moreFinancial Planner. They don't have anything to sell, other than their advice, thereby avoiding having various things thrown at you that are really designed to make them as much money as possible. Through an odd circumstance, I came across Symphony Financial Planning. All I can say is, WOW! This is how financial planning should be. First off, it's not some corporate building with lots of granite and glass -- it's a very inviting environment that's in what appears to be a small home. You'll feel comfortable right away -- not like a corporate prisoner. The most important part of course are the people. A better group you will never meet. They are super nice, especially Taylor, who worked with me. She made me feel completely comfortable, and explained things in a non-condescending manner. She never made me feel stupid, which is something I can't say about other people I've talked to. In the end, she gave me some great ideas about how to maximize my retirement savings, and sold me nothing in the process. Perfect! And because they are fee-only, you only pay for the time you need -- they won't latch onto your accounts and start pulling out commissions or other fees. They don't even have access to your accounts -- all they can do it give you advice about how to manage what you've got, to meet your goals. If you are looking for financial planning and are anywhere in the vicinity of Davis, you owe it to yourself to give Symphony a try. You won't be disappointed!

This coaching experience has been life-changing! I cannot speak highly enough of Christine Teh and the invaluable financial guidance she has provided.

Steve was a lifesaver. After having my loan not approved due to the initial lender not performing…read moreits due diligence the week of closing, my agent was able to negotiate additional time and referred me to Steve. Steve literally and figuratively sealed the deal for us, going above and beyond to communicate and let us know the progress every step of the way. Despite his busy schedule, he was always a phone call or text away. He was able to submit a brand new package, save us costs along the way, and closed us in record time. Usually in my previous real estate transactions, the paperwork and loan process has been straight forward. Going through adversity really allowed me to see how dedicated Steve was, and how his customer service was light years than my previous experiences. To be blunt, go with him and you will have peace of mind throughout the process.
