I worked with Duncan at Infinite Financial on a complex investment property refinance in Hawaii…read more The building has many complications and nuances such that most traditional lenders will not want to finance it. So it was crucial to work with the right person who had all the necessary expertise, local knowledge, and persistence to find a solution. Duncan found the right lender for my situation, and did an excellent job coordinating across multiple parties (lender, escrow, borrower). Throughout the process, Duncan was consistently available, responsive, and transparent. He kept me informed at every step and made sure I wasn't charged for anything I shouldn't have been paying for, and kept the deal moving on time-sensitive deadlines. Whether you're dealing a straightforward or a complicated financing situation, I'd strongly recommend Duncan and his team.

If you're like my husband and I, you work to make ends meet, with hopes you can retire in the…read morefuture. We didn't have money to invest while we were working, but figured we both had pensions, an annuity and a 403b so hopefully we were okay. We sat down with a few financial advisors throughout the years, but never felt the connection with them or the fees to hire a financial advisor was out of our reach. Some financial advisors told us we didn't have enough monies to retire until age 67. Well last year on the recommendation of a work friend, I convinced my husband to attend a free retirement seminar EA Buck had in the Kapolei area. Hesitantly, my husband agreed saying he would accompany me, but going to classes was not his thing. To my surprise he enjoyed the seminar, participated in the Q&A's, felt the speaker was knowledgeable and said, let's sit down with one of their advisors and see what they say. A few weeks later were set to meet with Justin Hodges of the Kapolei office. That day changed our lives. Justin reviewed our portfolio, listened to what we had to say, entertained our ideas of wanting to retire early and actually said it was possible. What??? Really!!! Retirement in Las Vegas at the age of 55 and 57 was possible and a good idea? No negative response like that's a bad idea, or you don't have enough monies? How much is it going to cost us to work with you Justin? ...Nothing up front, you make money off of our investments? You can also manage everything remotely even when we move to Vegas? This is too good to be true!!! We now meet with Justin often. I bother him all the time by email or text. I ask him the same question all the time. We've become good friends. Justin is awesome! Easy to talk to, funny, knowledgeable in the tax and retirement rules and laws and he's smart. We're fortunate to have met him, we have full trust in his strategies and abilities. We recommend EA Buck and especially Justin Hodges to all our friends and family. Young and old it's never too early to work with EA Buck to set your retirement foundation. Wish we meet Justin sooner.

Also, they invested my money in a security and I recnetly tried to take the money out, they told me I had to contact the company they invested the money in directly to get my money out. After going round and round with the company they said my broker needs to do the transaction, I contacted EA Buck and they have not replied back to my request for assistance in getting my money out. Also, I invested this money with them back in 2011 and when I went to try and get my money out it had only earned approximately 10% over the past 15 years. Terrible company and terrible service.

I hired Gene and his team this year to file taxes and was hoping to create a long-term financial…read morerelationship with them. They are nice people and were really helpful with filing this year as well as previous years outstanding taxes. Unfortunately 6 months later it's still not complete and I am trying to finalize payment plans on my own. I tried to contact Gene multiple times with either no response or no follow through, so I ultimately ended my business with them. He did apologize and offered to finish the job after I ended our business, but it's been dragging on and weighing on me for over 6 months and a new tax season is coming up again in only 2 months and it's just not worth the headache anymore. I would not recommend hiring Agape Wealth Management unless you have easy simple taxes that don't need any communication or follow up from them.
