He guided us to view decisions not over the next 5 years like we have been but out for the next 30 to 40 years. He presented options and scenarios that made us sit back and think. It turned out we had pretty much made the right decisions, but for the wrong reasons. He also helped us with a couple other more minor decisions and some coaching to help us get over a disastrous relationship with Merrill Lynch. He had a sense of humor and quickly made us feel comfortable. We will be seeing him again in a year. Thanks, Sean!

He has a great way of talking and explaining the financial world in a manner which is never condescending nor leaving you feeling like he is talking down or at you. You are left feeling this truly is a partnership. Over the course of time, Brian and team have proven to be really good at what they do. We have recommended Bauer and Evans to many of our Family and Friends and those that have met with and/or entrusted their financial futures with Brian and team have all come back to thank us for our recommendation. I will end this rather long review with this: if you are looking for or already have a full service financial team you owe it to yourself to at least give Bauer and Evans a chance to earn your business.

I didn't choose to invest with Edward Jones. It was chosen for me as a company retirement plan. I…read morehave experience with several other investment companies. 1) Eric didn't follow my directions as to how I wanted my money invested and when I planned to retire. 2) Edward Jones charges fees for things that at other investment management companies are free. 3) Account management, things that are extremely simple and done online in less than a minute at other companies, are an arduous process at Edward Jones. Case in point, changing your beneficiaries. 4) My Edward Jones account seriously underperformed relative to my other accounts (see #1). Specifically, the performance between January of 2016 into the fall of 2017 was so poor (in my estimation), and the response to my complaint about it was so conceited, and so dismissive that that was when I choose to end my relationship with Edward Jones. 5) Directing my account myself, putting my money in something with returns that matched my expectations was expensive (see #2) 6) It cost me about 3% of my account value to roll over my account to another investment company. UPDATE: I got what I thought was a final statement. It turns out Edward Jones didn't rollover the total amount in the account. They shorted it about $51. I still have a login at EJ, but that account is not connected to my login account anymore - just an old one that was terminated about 5 years ago.

It was also very helpful to understand the strategy, service & Integrity she operates through Edward Jones. I had an IRA I'd left too long in a glorified savings account. I already had a financial counselor that I've been working with for other things, which didn't bother her. Having met Karen in a business group, watching & listening to her over time, I decided she would be the one to invest this with. Every question I had & every reason to invest it in a certain direction, was explained clearly. This included taking a risk assessment for my comfort zone, so that she would not ask me to go any further than I wanted to. To me, that also is a mark of her as an excellent financial counselor, who wants what is best for me. I highly recommend you get in touch with her for a free assessment to see if you're where you want on your goals, whether you're just starting out or need to figure out how to get started, midway or further on your investing journey.

The kindness and transparency every other firm showed me when trying to figure out how to get my money out (and find a few grand from a check she never even deposited, meaning my money was in limbo earning nothing) was outstanding and was in stark contrast to what I experienced here. Bottom line: Never again here or with any Edward Jones facility!
