Terrible service In response to your message: not all customers want to buy online. A lot of us prefer to pay with cash. You should answer the phones. I called 5 times in one hour trying to get through to someone from 11am-12pm. When I left I forgot to ask a question and I sat outside your locked door pushing the button for 5 min and wasn't able to even get back in. Like I said. Terrible service. Had someone answered the phone I could have turned around and went elsewhere.

Because recent life changes have forced me to deal with a number of different financial firms, I…read morecan make informed comparisons. The service my family received at the Larkspur office of Fidelity stands out for its kindness and efficiency. I would like to particularly commend Gustavo Sanchez for his skillful handling of the transfer and retitling of accounts. When other firms clung to arcane and obsolete procedures (I'm looking at you, Columbia Threadneedle, with your insistence on Medallion Signature Guarantees), Gustavo unerringly completed and submitted their paperwork as well. At a difficult time, the people in this office were extraordinarily helpful.

He recently…read morehelped me transfer some IRA funds to an insurance company in order to receive increased monthly annuity payments. That took awhile from the consultation and planning period to actual implementation. Jeff did research for me to figure out if this was a good move for my needs. After all the back and forth communication with the insurance company and endless paperwork to fill out, I can say that I'm a happy camper and I received my first annuity check from the company yesterday. We did it Jeff! He is a very patient and personable financial advisor and I cannot recommend anyone better than Jeff. He listens and hears what your specific needs are and goes to work from there. With the aid of computer data analysis and his personal research, he came up with a plan to fit my needs in retirement. I live in San Francisco and he made a special effort to meet at my house along with a Zoom meeting. I'm not tech savvy but he showed me how to prepare and sign documents online. He made things so simple and easy to understand. I can rest easy knowing that Jeff and Terra Blue have my back with financial affairs. For those of you who may question the need for a personal financial advisor I have to say that's it's worth every penny to give Jeff a call.

He was able to be flexible regarding scheduling a meeting, too, which I appreciated. One thing that sets Jeff apart is how he takes into account the emotions/feelings we have about money into his advice. I really appreciated his help, as we went over my expenses and figured out what I could afford for rent. I appreciated your sound advice, Jeff. Thanks again!
