Honestly, I didn't even know if they were exactly the right company for what I needed to do. So I just stopped in today and spoke with Michelle. Despite my frazzled and exhausted first-time-mom appearance and my "i have no decent clothes that fit right now so these sweats suffice" wardrobe, neither the receptionist nor Michelle made me feel out of place. As it turned out, for my situation, Michelle advised it is best for me to go to an investment firm and open an account directly with them. Michelle was quite professional, knowledgeable, and able to provide some great advice despite her company not being the exact fit for my needs. If I should ever be in need financial advising, I would absolutely return to Kabarec for their services.

I had to come into this branch to drop off a form, and I was surprised that it's part of a business…read morepark building where the guard makes you sign in first. But when I told him where I was going, he was pretty nice about it and didn't make me fill out my car license plate number (which I didn't know off the top of my head and would have had to have gone back outside to go get it off my car). It's probably mostly required for people who are visiting the entire day, not for someone be like me who was only popping in and out for a few minutes, so I just signed my name and time of arrival. I didn't have any issues finding guest parking in the very full lot, so don't know if I was just lucky that day or what. The guard was surprised when he asked if I had difficulty finding guest parking, and I said I didn't. The receptionist at the Schwab front desk was really nice and reviewed my form after taking it from me, to make sure everything was filled out okay. She told me they would send it on to Operations that day and I should hear back in a few days, and if not, then I could follow up by calling the number she gave me on their business card. I liked how there were bowls of candy laid out, but I was too embarrassed of looking like a piggy at 9:30 in the morning, so I didn't take any. :/
