The teller immediately looked at me and made at judgment call over a $300 transaction. He asked his manager for advice with proceeding, and she declined my transaction, I feel like a lot of people feel that I was judged by the way that I look. For someone that has 30 years plus positive history with a bank should not be treated this way. I went to another bank in the area and received superior service. It is so easy to just confirm funds. So if you think and look forward to seeing a friendly and professional people to assist you with a small transaction, do not go to this bank The rudeness is very uncalled for and truly unprofessional. These employees made no attempt to use customer service skills that I'm sure they are paid to use.

Working with Kyle Clark has been a standout experience from start to finish…read more After a deeply frustrating experience with another financial advisor program, I was cautious about starting over, but working with Kyle has been a complete 180. From the start, Kyle was thorough and patient. He walked me through transferring all of my existing funds, helped me establish clear savings goals, and gave me concrete, actionable guidance I could actually act on. What impressed me most was his timing: all of this unfolded during a period of significant personal transition for me, and he handled every step with professionalism and calm. The results have spoken for themselves. My portfolio has reached record highs, and for the first time, I genuinely feel in control of my financial future. If you're looking for an advisor who is competent and steady under pressure, I can't recommend Kyle highly enough!

Which ones do I combine? Am I investing too aggressively or not enough? What the heck is this fund? Nick Licouris did a fantastic job - we met twice, and he mapped out a detailed roadmap for me to get my financial house in order over the next few years, explaining everything in plain English anyone could understand. He confirmed I was headed in the right direction, but also pointed out a few things I was unaware of. He also correctly predicted how many hours it would take, so the cost was no surprise. I am very, VERY pleased with the results and I've recommended him to others and will probably hire him again, once I've executed the plan.

Same review I posted to Google!…read more My husband and I got our first ever home loan through Augusta Financial. At the same time, a friend of ours was buying a home and after we "secured" our rate with Dwayne, we found out that there were LOWER rates which could have saved us THOUSANDS because our friends got a significantly lower rate at almost the same time (within a week). Augusta Financial clearly did not have our best interests at heart. They came recommend by the real estate agent of my husband's family and we trusted him, so lesson learned to not trust the family realtor and do our own research. My husband did not want to start the process over elsewhere with the amount of time we had already spent and as we had found a home we wanted to purchase at a more or less affordable price. Also, they did not tell us our loan would be IMMEDIATELY sold to another company. We already had set up automatic payments and got notification in the mail 2 weeks after we moved into our new home that the loan was sold. Dwayne also could not spell in almost any email we received from him, which personally irritated me. Grammarly is free. Attention to detail was not strong and everything he required was always urgent, but when we needed an answer to something he was nowhere to be found until it was convent for him. I also had to explain things several times to several different people at Augusta Financial like they do not communicate with one another there... Overall, I would say we had a rough first mortgage loan experience and do not recommend Augusta Financial. Take your chances with them as they do not look for the best rate for you, and they do not give you all the information upfront unless you know what to ask for; as first time home buyers, we did not know what to ask and there is A LOT of information out there and so much to understand that it can be very overwhelming for first time homebuyers.

My husband and I engaged Curtin's services for over 7 years. During that time we purchased 6…read moreannuities from him. He did not properly deliver any of them (i.e:. 1) hand us the policies (except in one case), 2) explain the policies and fees, 3) inform us of a free look as required in California. The first 4 policies were supposedly sent to us by the insurance company via UPS but were never received and we thought we were purchasing mutual funds so did not even realize we were supposed to receive physical policies. Without telling us, he included "living benefits" which we never asked for. So without knowing our rights to reject the policies, we were stuck with thousands of dollars of fees coming out of the policies for "benefits" we never wanted. We found out years later that he could have stopped the fees when the policies matured (and I asked him for years to do so). It wasn't until 2016 that I learned about "free looks." He also put the rest of my retirement money into an unsuitable investment that lost nearly 10% in less than 6 months. Several other of his clients also lost money in the same investment. At that point I told him to get my money out and he told me to wait another 4 months. When he did start the process of moving the money out, he failed to get the required medallion stamp which delayed the process by 2 months during which I experienced nearly another 10% in losses as the market continued to drop. The 4 policies referred to above and the investment are the subject of a FINRA disclosure (a regulatory authority). His statement in FINRA does not bother to mention the large losses that I experienced in the investment and he makes it sound like no money was lost with the annuities when thousands were taken out of our accounts in fees. Google broker check FINRA He also charged me a management fee for having my money sitting in cash in an advisory fund before investing it. He pretended to be our friend but took advantage of our ignorance and stupidity. Instead of fully disclosing information we needed during our meetings where he was supposed to review our investments and address concerns I continued to bring up about excessive fees, he burned up our time with idle chit chat about his family and other trivia. When I started confronting and questioning him as I realized what he had done to us, he resigned. Avoid this man. He did not look out for my best interests and it cost me dearly. And he is unapologetic about it as you can see in his FINRA disclosure.
