Thank you
I was unfortunate to have had a very unqualified & dishonest financial advisor for my IRA investments including my Annuity. I was recommended by Fidelity to contact Annuity Gator for advice. I am fortunate to have been connected with Merrit Strunk as my advisor to advise about my inappropriate Annuity. He has shared his knowledge, expertise, & sincere caring attitude & attention to my situation. I am very grateful for his professional advice. Thank you!

Felt as though he had my best interests in mind.
Cal was on time with every conference and addressed each question with an understandable answer. He came up with an annuity of which I had no prior knowledge.

Financial advisors, investment counselors, et al. and the problem of listening
Mr. Driggers’s strongest positive trait was his desire to please the client. He seemed very motivated to do that. He also seemed knowledgeable about the topic and the products available so he could offer good choices of products. Overall, I thought he did a very good job. I might attempt one constructive general comment that goes beyond Mr. Driggers. Personally, in my 74 years of life, I have never encountered an investment advisor, financial counselor, insurance salesperson et al. who listened to the client – except for one. They all talk a lot, often very amiably, but never really listened to me. This one individual who did listen sold insurance, and he was indeed unique. When he meant with us, the first thing he said was something like, “How are you doing? Tell me about yourself and your family. What are you thinking about? What are your needs and concerns? Why are you thinking about buying this product? And then he would listen and listen, taking a few notes, asking follow-up questions that, in retrospect were quite relevant to the business at hand. We ended up buying a large insurance policy from him, and remaining loyal to him until he retired. He apparently was quite successful as we received notices of the rewards and promotions he received. I am not a financial advisor. I don’t know much about it. But as a client, it makes sense to me that listening, asking appropriate questions, and trying to understand the clients needs, concerns, biases, feelings, and so on would be very important. Mr. Driggers did a fine job. If these comments are communicated to him, I hope he will not be offended but take them as an attempt at constructive ideas from a satisfied client.

How do I increase my funds?
I started looking on line for a better interest rate than my bank. This was my first experience on line. It turned out beautiful. Sean was very knowledgeable and helpful. He knew his math and listened to what my needs were. He always gave several potions to choose from. Each was explained in great detail. The one I chose gave me an extended death benefit and an option if I became serious ill. I didn’t feel totally bound and not able to get my money. I was a little concerned since he didn’t have an office in my state or hometown. I have been with him for a year and am totally comfortable with my ability to talk to him when needed. This was money that was not needed in the near future yet I still could access it for a serious emergency. The entire plan seems to look out for all my worries. Sean spends the time with you! I am so lucky to have found this annuity. I did my due diligence an found this insurance company met my requirements. Sincerely, Rosemary J. Waldron

I had an absolutely marvelous
I had an absolutely marvelous experience with annuity gator as presented to me by Barbara Halperin. This was a no pressure no high intensity sales pitch rather it was an honest and frank discussion of financial goals and the best way to achieve them. Barbara was very knowledgeable, understanding, and complete in her explanations and recommendations. There were not any hint of annoying callbacks rather only professional communication and timely phone calls. I have recommended Barbara and annuity gator to several family members and friends as a result of my experience. There were no stones left unturned and questions were answered, I m sure multiple times, with a five star rating to this company and especially to Barbara Halperin. Thanks again Barbara and annuity gator

Knowledge is Power!
Robert was very professional and patient with me as he took time to answer all my questions. I didn’t feel any pressure just enlightened. It was educational and he provided me with information to make the decisions needed for my financial future. He was knowledgeable of the various ways to grow my financial nest egg utilizing annuities that have a built in guarantee as well as pointers of how to protect it as much as possible from unnecessary taxes all of which is important so that I don’t out live my money.

The difference to me is having Ron
The difference to me is having Ron Allison at Annuity Gator by my side all the way through the entire process. I only hope this won’t be the last time I talk with this very kind, knowledgeable advisor. He is an asset to Annuity Gator and made me feel very comfortable even when I know I drove him crazy with all my multiple questions. He stood by me and understood my nervousness. I assure you I would not hesitate to call him again for another transfer. Thank you, Ron. L.Reynolds

I had Sean Sparkman as my annuity
I had Sean Sparkman as my annuity representative from Annuity Gator for several years. I would recommend him to any prospective clients for his excellent services. I am a very cautious person and would not make an annuity purchase decision without fully understanding. Sean was so patience to explain and gave me time to read, understand and ask questions and he had never been push ! Even after I purchased annuity from him for several years, we ve still kept communicating and exchange ideas. Whenever I wrote him emails he would reply instantly and answered all my enquirers ASAP, I must rate him as the top annuity representative!

Exceptional guidance and advice
It s fair to say that annuities can be complex products. For the average consumer, myself included, understanding their structure is not easy or intuitive. This is where a good advisor can make a difference and Barbara Halperin is an exceptional advisor. Barbara is able to deconstruct these products in a manner that allows them to be understood in terms that are meaningful and relatable. She was clear, concise and patient while we worked through the selection process. Her expansive knowledge and thorough understanding of the Annity Gator products enabled me to make informed decisions on the options that were best suited for my retirement goals.

i was originally impressed by AG’s CEO
i was originally impressed by AG’s CEO, who’s experience level, background and thorough introductory video got me interested enough to call for an appoint. I’m beyond happy that Brett Toomey, also massively experienced, smart, considerate as well as very humanly approachable with a great sense of humor, was assigned to my inquiry. Brett has been beyond patient, listened to my description of my situation, spent time researching best case scenarios for me, then explaining them to me carefully. Within a few telecons, I was able to invested in a great product, an indexed deferred qualified rollover annuity I’d never heard of before. I’m beyond impressed w/Brett AND Annuity Gator!

Barbara Halperin is the BEST!
Barbara Halperin made my experience great with Annuity Gator! She is knowledgeable, understanding, patient and a true fiduciary. Which is very rare in the current investing climate. Twice Barbara lead me to great annuities with my best intentions at heart. I am very grateful as the proud owner of (2) annuities and my retirement is monstrously more secure than previously! I owe Barbara a tremendous gratitude and I now consider her a dear friend. Thank you again Barbara!

Worked with Ken Anderson from NJ
Worked with Ken Anderson from NJ. He walked us through the entire process, was very professional and we feel he advised us properly. We committed to an annuity that fit our particular needs, investing a lump sum , choosing to wait 4 years to start our withdrawal and feel the value is acceptable with the investment we made. We would highly recommend Annuity Gator, and especially Ken Anderson.

I had a less than good results with a major insurance company with my retirement funds. It wasn t all their fault due to the bond market going south. But it still cost me a lot of money. I reached out to Annuity Gator to see what they had to offer. I am as skeptical because of what I had heard about annuities in general. Barry Young took me by the hand and never tried to close the deal: He was steady and reassuring from day one. I would suggest to anyone to give Them the opportunity to explain how todays annuities actually work.

I cannot say enough good things about
I cannot say enough good things about Terry. I was heavily invested in index annuities and Terry helped me roll everything over to fixed annunitys. It was perfect timing, seeing what is going in the stock market. His knowledge of annunitys put my mind at ease as we chose what to invest in going forward. Security was my number one concern so he helped us achieve that goal. I look forward to working with him again.

Annuity Program Success
I had been looking for an annuity to invest in, but didn t have a clue where to go and who to contact. The representative assign to me was very instrumental in presenting and explaining the process and earnings potential. He also described the different options I had with the one program I purchased. I was pleased with his customer service and allowed me to ask a million questions and have some time to think about this before I made my decision. I am putting away a large amount of money for my future economic welfare and I believe I chose a good company to do it with. I m giving them 5 Stars and am optimistic to see my earnings potential after this first year.

If you are a novice invester or new to retirement – this is for you
I retired rather sudden in Jan 2024 with no planning or education of retirement finances other than you are not as agressive in retirement. I reached out to a number of people on the internet and this one guy- Sean Sparkman has been outstanding. I have been moving slowly because I have to know and understand the issues. He has shown great patience with me. We have talked weekly for most of 5 months and we have started working the plan.He has never hurryed me or tried to move me ahaed till I was ready. Most other folks gave me a call or two and if I was not ready to sign something, they moved on. He has helped educate me and answers my questionss and just does not tell me what I want to hear. I never belieced I would deal with someone over the internet instead of local, but here I am eating those words =that is how happy and satisfied I am with Sean. This is a top reccommendation to try and get with him. He will help you get to where you WANT to be and in YOUR timing. This guy is not looking for some quick sales commision and run. You will be very glad if you seek him out.
