We strive to exceed expectations by offering our clients a comprehensive array of tools and services to help them simplify, stay organized and feel more comfortable as they continue into new phases of their journey. Amazingly, we offer this complete package at fee levels at or below the National averages! It's why we say "Get More for Your Money" and compare our total package to those of our competitors.
The primary way we can offer so much is our lean and mean operation! Instead of having fancy offices and an expensive full time in-house staff, we have chosen to outsource virtually everything. It has resulted in relationships with best of breed services throughout the country, and has allowed us to offer more and more throughout the years. Also, as an independent, there is no mother ship or shareholders requiring a certain profit level and potentially, limiting what we are able to spend on technology and services.

The Rest of Our Team!
Instead of employing a large in-house team of individuals assigned various tasks, we have opted instead to partner with best in breed third parties to assist the firm with technology, support and guidance. This has allowed us to stay lean and mean which has resulted in an amazing package of services and tools we can offer to our clients for the same cost as many charge for a fraction of the services.
