Brian Greco was just awesome to work with. He took his fiduciary responsibility seriously and gained my trust by being patient, clearly explaining all of my options and never pushing to sell me on anything. I really felt Brian listened to my needs and had my best interest at heart in making retirement planning decisions. His follow up, knowledge and customer service were outstanding as well. I highly recommend Brian!!

Skeptical though interested
Initially I was very skeptical concerning FIAs, how they worked and fit into my retirement plans. I had no idea what to expect, thought it was all fancy sales hype. I reached out to a few financial planners with various programs but not sold on the proposals. I did my homework, contacted Annuity Gator for their take on the subject which connected me with Joshua. After a few meetings, reading through his book things started to make sense. Joshua was straight forward answering any, all questions about the products available to me with great patience. We continued to meet for almost a year before coming up with a solution that fit my goals, decided to include my pension, 403B funds into two products to supplement Social Security at retirement. Joshua was on top of all the products available, ratings and felt my best interests were met. Joshua ran down all the numbers, options and went with guaranteed payments for life, a legacy option. Both FIAs together provided the shortfall I was looking for which included beneficiaries. Joshua was great to work with, would highly recommend his services.

Annuity performance analysis augmented by IRA alternatives
Appreciated the in-depth review we received and especially the detailed data analysis and summary of our path forward thru retirement.

Just what I needed to plan for financial security in retirement
When I started to plan for my retirement, one of the concerns is to make sure I didn’t run out of money. I needed a steady and reliable source of income. I knew an annuity would be the answer but there were so many options and choices that it was overwhelming. I had spoken with a few other advisors but they were all a little vague when answering my questions. Not so with Joshua Schlinksy. He took the time to answer all my answers accurately and thoroughly. Unlike the other advisors I spoke with, Joshua seemed genuinely interested in making sure I would be comfortable in retirement. If you are approaching or into retirement and need financial guidance, I would recommend giving Joshua a call.

Writing agent/firm Review
Beginning late January ’24 to the present, our writing agent has provided extremely courteous and timely responses, not only to our initial request for an appointment but to every subsequent, product-related question that we asked. Ultimately, he recommended an annuity product that met our objectives and then some! He delivered an organized, easy to understand presentation that was supported with an equally understandable illustration. Our customer experience has been consistently positive since the end of January through today’s meeting to review the contract.

Terry was very helpful explaining the
Terry was very helpful explaining the options I have and how each one works in general and also specific to my situation. I will review his information and go over it with my wife. Just not sure if this is the time for me to commit yet since I do have other income sources currently filling any potential gap, but I can see where a FIA would be perfect for me if one or more of these sources were interrupted and a gap materialized.

Very informative. No pressure.
Very informative. No pressure. Mr Ault used your comparison tool to show us real performance numbers so we could pick best combination of policies for our needs. He made a good suggestion to diversify even in annuities. We can build a portfolio of annuities for different purposes not just plow into one. Some are best for income, some for growth, some for legacy. We can tailor a portfolio of annuities just like a stock/bond portfolio but with less risk. We are very satisfied.

My sincere thanks and appreciation to Joshua Schlinsky.
My sincere thanks and appreciation to Joshua Schlinsky for his patience and understanding as I made changes from my original request in purchasing an annuity. There was absolutely no rush by Josh for me to sign anything until we both knew exactly what I wanted to accomplish. He offered to send me his book, Wealth Compounded, so I would understand who I was putting my trust in. (I admit I was apprehensive in dealing with an Agent in Florida – several states from my residence in Missouri.) We talked on the phone several times. My initial plans drastically changed a few times as I mulled over my investments between our conversations. My final and most important decision was to opt out of my funds invested in the stock market by purchasing a Single Premium Deferred Fixed Annuity – no more worries about the stock market plummeting to 50%. Now my funds will grow with interest added each year, it will only decrease if I withdraw funds. The process was not totally hiccup free as my Stock Brokerage Company had requirements which caused me concern and I leaned heavily on Joshua during those times. I am very comfortable now with my final choice and my Agent, Joshua Schlinsky, who carried me through the entire process.

I am a retired engineer and not that
I am a retired engineer and not that familiar with annuities. I originally chose Annuity Gator from the ethernet. I was a bit concerned that I chose wisely, as I wanted to find a representative that had my best interests as a priority. I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice. From the onset, Annuity Gator under the direction of Page Peterson has done everything possible to educate me and raise my level of confidence. As a direct result, I have contracted with Annuity Gator for what I believe is the best Annuity for my specific needs. A 5 star experience.

I’m so thankful I met Jason Siebert
Due to the current economic climate, my IRA had lost more than $100,000. I needed to stop the bleed. I was interested in Annuities because i heard you never lose money. I started to research different companies and that is when i Met Jason Siebert with Annuity Gator. I explained i was new to the world of annuities. Instead of being pushy like another annuity salesman i ran into, Jason took his time over the course of six weeks to educate me. What a treasure. I entrusted my entire retirement savings to Jason and he was able to replace the amount I had lost in the market. Thank you Jason for the ease of mind.

Knowledgeable, Reliable and Trustworthy
Approximately a 15 months ago I met Joshua Schlinsky through a visual phone meeting. I was skeptical, I wasn’t a fan of discussing my needs and financial matters over the Zoom Meeting. I prefer face to face. After about 5 zoom meetings, I found Joshua to be very knowledgeable about the many constantly changing Annuities and their crediting options from different Insurance Companies. Joshua gained my Trust and I found him very easy to work with. Not a pushy salesman. He educated me with the newest options in the ever-changing market. Along with his professional advise, He and I made good solid choices. I am thankful for Joshua and his staff for being a Professional, Educated and Passionate firm representing me.

Why I chose annuity gator with Jason Siebert
I am not a novice purchasing annuities or researching internet companies . I own several MYGAs for different accounts and confidently chose them myself . However, I was pitched a complex fixed index annuity from a specific company by a suave financial advisor. I noticed many red flags throughout this advisor s lengthy presentation and knew I needed another unbiased opinion . I found annuity gator online and liked their business model of only using independent financial agents who represent hundreds of companies and were not captive agents . I was assigned to Jason Seibert . I asked Jason to scrutinize this annuity and tell me the good, the bad and the ugly . Jason willingly and skillfully analyzed the product and confirmed the red flags while judiciously pointing out more . I spent several sessions with Jason exploring annuity products best suited for me . Jason has that rare ability to simplify complex ideas , educate ,and provide structure while not judging a clients level of understanding or their reasons for preferring some products over others . Jason was committed to finding the highest annuity rates from highly rated companies using my criteria . He did not pressure me to make any decision about anything or to purchase if I did not want to . He made clear we could have as many discussions as I wanted which we did even if I chose not to purchase a product . When I finally chose my annuity product , we screen shared completing the application to make the process shorter and easier than if I did it myself. The application was delivered to the annuity company , reviewed, accepted and funded in a reasonable time frame without mistakes or missing data. That alone is huge . I knew immediately that Jason was the right agent for me and I chose the best product for me with his support . It s very difficult to search the internet for reputable companies and even rarer to find an agent with both analytical and interpersonal skills . I recommend Jason Siebert and Annuity Gator to provide safe , manageable and legitimate solutions for income in retirement or any phase of life

Jason Siebert is the man period!
Jason Siebert is the man who you need when you consider retirement period! I m sure because I ve done my homework A year ago, when it became obvious to me that I would have to retire prematurely, I started my journey in search of retirement education and a financial advisor. I read many articles, I attended many retirement workshops, many webinars; I was meeting and conversing with many financial advisors local, throughout the country, in person, over the phone, virtually… My torment ended a couple months ago when I came across Jason Siebert with Annuity Gator. After he understood my financial needs, Jason revealed to me, using parallel comparisons, of what many brokers were offering, was without a doubt, not the best solution for my retirement goals. In just 2-3 virtual sessions with Jason, I learned more from him about annuities, retirement products, and my retirement options than I learned from others in a year. So, now I have the financial advisor. Thank you, Jason!
