In 2016, Jim and I began looking for a financial advisor because he was nearing retirement and there’s a large age gap between us. With retirement looming for Jim and my longer life expectancy, we were both feeling overwhelmed, wondering what to do with all our retirement accounts. My brother-in-law, Michael DeJohn, works with Frank and made the recommendation. Prior to that, it felt like I was cherry-picking someone. Who really knows whether you can trust (or even like) the person giving you advice?
Frank has been the advisor I previously could only have wished and dreamed of. We have ABSOLUTE trust in him. This trust began in part because we trust Michael, who recommended Frank, but it grew because of Frank and his calm, straightforward, and honorable behavior. Financial advice is one thing (and we trust Frank there), but trusting the character of the person giving you that advice is completely another. Both Jim and I have peace of mind that our interests and wishes are being listened to, and the belief that Frank will advise but ultimately do what we desire. We sleep well knowing that Frank—and by extension Cedar Brook—is looking out for our interests and helping us navigate the retirement part of retirement accounts.
