      Jennifer was knowledgeable, helpful, and went out of her way to assist with Medicare, dental, and vision care selection and sign up!

      We had a very bad over all experience with this company strategic wealth designers. First, they charge you for basic knowledge where if you have been to one of these types of events you already know the information they provide for a fee. Second, all they want is your money to tie it up for years under (safety net) language. They use subtle fear-based tactics to convince you to give them control of your money. They say they use a wholistic approach, but they don't ( i have recorded proof of this fact). My advice is before you send off your dollars to someone else to manage them (for a fee) make sure you know and understand what you're doing. once you give away positive control of your money, you can't easily get it back. if you do need an advisor, try to ask friends family for recommendations, look online for complaints, the BBB rates them ok, but BBB might not be fully aware of a deeper problem which i suspect.

      Mr. R, According to our records Mr. R, you’re not an existing client or a former client. Our records show you voluntarily attended a $39 5-hour educational event we offered in your area. You then voluntarily chose to have 2 complimentary private meetings with the instructor after the event totaling your interactions with us to 7+ hours. During those private consults you asked about our retirement planning solutions/services & we shared our governing principles along with the various investment tools we use to properly structure retirement portfolios. When it was apparent that your risk appetite was outside our comfort level as fiduciaries, we communicated we weren’t a good partner for what you wanted to achieve. We have documented proof of this. Our holistic approach isn’t investing only in one asset class- the stock market. We would consider the approach you are searching for as a ballistic approach, and we hope you land on the solutions you seek. We take great pride in our retirement education/services and even greater pride in the satisfaction of the tens of thousands of individuals and families we’ve met over the last 22 years which is why we stand by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. It’s evident you weren’t satisfied with your experience, so we’d like to donate $100 to the charity of your choice. Please contact us at [email protected] to tell us which charity and we’ll send it out right away.

      Thomas R. has provided my husband and I exceptional service and knowledge in our retirement planning and is a delight to work with. He is an engaging professional, provided us with all the information needed, no rush for decisions, answered all our questions, provided us guidance, options and has made us feel confident.

      Just prior to retiring, my wife and I attended SWD’s Retirement Planning University with Jordan S as our instructor. This was a two-evening interactive educational seminar that covered the complete scope of retirement planning – e.g. taxes, income planning, Medicare, Social Security, estate planning, etc. We followed up with a 1:1 strategy session with Jordan to review our current assets, goals, and retirement strategy. It was very clear afterwards that we were heading in the wrong direction and after 30 years of using the same investment firm, switched to SWD. SWD uses a comprehensive holistic approach to retirement planning, providing experts focused on all our needs. For example, Jennifer L (Medicare Specialist) provided step by step guidance in helping us find and sign-up for the right Medicare Supplement and Prescription plans. We have complete trust in SWD. Everyone we have worked with on their team has been fantastic. Certainly, the best retirement decision we could have made.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so happy to hear that the Retirement Planning University you attended with Jordan was so impactful for you and your wife, and that our approach and comprehensive plans since have made such an impact on your retirement planning.

      We recently worked with Jennifer L. with Strategic Wealth to help us work thru the maze of ********. She was so helpful answering all our questions and answering questions we didn’t even think of. Jennifer is knowledgeable and professional and never made us feel rushed. She didn’t tell us what to do but gave us the pros and cons of the various plans to let us make our own decision. We would highly recommend her to anyone who goes thru Medicare process.

      Planning for retirement is not easy. Especially as you get older,; closer to the time you retire. Earlier this year felt that we needed to be more proactive with our retirement plans and accounts. After interviewing several firms we decided to go with Strategic Wealth Designers. We have been very pleased with Thomas R***** with Strategic Wealth Advisors. He has helped us craft an effective retirement plan that meets our needs, including suggested investment strategies outside of standard stocks and bonds. Strategic Wealth Designers also has offerings that include experts in social security and medicare that we can consult for free. They also offer the most in-depth retirement planning classes through the Retirement Planning University. The customer service at Strategic Wealth Designers has been outstanding. We are very pleased with out choice.

      It is challenging to navigate all of the "things" leading up retirement these days with so much information and so many wanting a piece of what you have worked so hard to earn... My wife and I have been very impressed (and appreciative) of the folks we have worked with at SWD. Both Tim K*** and Jennifer L***** have been GREAT to work with! They are not only knowledgeable in their areas of expertise, but they both were always willing to listen carefully to "our" retirement goals and assist us accordingly. Thanks, SWD for being our partners and advisors as we lean into our retirement. Much appreciated! Derek & Tammy

      I had a terrific experience working with Jennifer L****** She had solid answers to all my questions and was so graciously patient with me as I worked through understanding the many options to be considered in setting up Medicare as well as supplemental health-related coverage. I consider her a real asset to SWD and encourage you to NOT let her get away! If you decide to promote her, I hope you'll do me the kindness to let me still have all my future dealings directly with her.

      It’s been a daunting task to prepare for retirement. It’s frightening. Even picking out Medicare is so confusing. SWD has helped me get my financial ducks in a row and held my hand when signing up for Medicare. If I haven’t liked the choices for my best good, they have come up with alternatives that I am more comfortable with. I am glad I chose them. There are a lot of moving parts in retiring and I feel safe with SWD helping me.

      My husband and I are business owners. We know how to make money. Knowing how to design a retirement plan was foreign to us. Most financial advisors focus only on investing. Phillis P******* took the time to explain wealth distribution options during retirement, much of which is determined by decisions we make now. She gave us a much bigger picture with more options than we had previously considered. You don't know what you don't know... Highly recommend taking one of her classes and/or sitting down for a free consultation. We did both, and glad we did!
