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.

Annuity Gator is a Great Research Tool !!!
Possibly because I had rolled over a 401K to an annuity, I had begun getting a lot of other annuity sellers’ emails. One of them was Annuity Gator, but I did not know what they did. I realized that my annuity was not going to provide an income stream for 10 years so I contacted the “salesman” who sold me the annuity and I got nowhere. It took several phone calls to get the situation looked at and 4 months to get an answer. It was then I contacted Annuity Gator, but they wanted me to talk to one of their national representatives. I asked them to give me a local representative and that’s how I met Eli Mitcham over the phone. It was he who worked with me through the process which was difficult. After a lot of email correspondence and a lot of time, Eli’s diligence to undo the financial mess I was in paid off. His knowledge of the business is admirable. Eli is a knowledgeable and honest person and that is an awesome combination.

Ryan McNeill is excellent, highly recommended
Years ago, I selected an A++ provider in order to minimize risk. Recently, I discovered that states provide small investors with another form of insurance against company failure. That opened my eyes to the need to research options. Ryan was excellent in his patient exploration of my circumstances – including needs, goals and risk tolerance. Recognizing that his crystal ball is no better than mine, he presented a variety of good options, answered all questions patiently and thoroughly, without pushing. The Zoom format is wonderful – for good discussion and for handy review tapes. I hope to be able to write a more authoritative review in five years. Meanwhile, I can sleep well at night knowing I ve explored a much wider range of options and will enjoy improved financial performance.
- Norm
Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful
Jeff was knowledgeable, helpful and above all, a good listener. He took the time to understand what I am/was trying to accomplish and after our initial discussion, he came back to me with a plan that provided the solution I was looking for.

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

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.

Outstanding Annuity Expertise
I was very close to retirement as a federal government employee and interested in securing an annuity. I had an idea of what I thought I wanted in general terms, however I just wasn t as aware of the types of specific annuity resources in the market place. I was grateful to work with Mr. Terry Ciotti. He provided the research and effort to inform and help me make the best choice for my retirement annuity. He was thorough and detailed with options to consider, patiently answering all of my questions. I remain most grateful for his knowledge and expertise and highly recommend him and the folks at Annuity Gator!

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!

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.

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

I had a less than good results with a
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.

Annuity Gator connected us with a real find, Sean Mason from Fresno Financial advisors.

We couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you, Annuity Gator.

AnnuityGator is fortunate to have him as an asset to help folks on some financial planning.

I want to express my heart felt gratitude
I want to express my heart felt gratitude for the assistance and guidance that our Annuity Advisor , Neil Dekter, provided my wife and I when converting our IRA in to our current Annuity. My wife and I had experienced a most un-fortunate event related to a portion of our retirement investments and, the company that held our investments made transferring funds challenging. Neil’s Courtesy, Professionalism and Patience helped not only to execute the transfer smoothly but, helped my wife and I keep our sanity through a trying time! Through Neil’s efforts, I rest easy knowing that my wife and I will receive a steady monthly lifetime income. I am sure there are many Annuity Advisors who are experts in the industry and, Neil is not only an expert in Annuities, he is an expert in people and truly cares for his clients! My wife and I feel deeply blessed to have met Neil and had the opportunity to work with him!

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.
