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.

I really liked the person i was working with. He was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive.

Annuity Gator Team is very precise in assisting you with your needs. They take time out and answer all of your question without feeling that you are being pressured.

Thanks

Advisor was very seasoned informational and extremely knowledgeable. Great Experience!!!

Terrific explanation of annuities! Very helpful

informative interview. Jeff Katz was great, just think I started looking too soon. but knowledge is golden.

Annuity Gator was extremely knowledgeable about my annuity question. Took the time to explain what the typical characteristics of my annuity were. Then they looked into the specifics of it and provided the information I needed to make a decision going forward. I was impressed with what a good experience my call to Annuity Gator was. I recommend them highly.

Jeff was thorough and presented options objectively to suit my needs. There was never a pressure to sell, which I appreciated the most.

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.

Scott P was was excellent. Knowledgable and supportive, thank you!

Excellent support and service. I would highly recommend to anyone that needs an annuity.

Doug Bentle was very informative and helpful in educating me on different annuities and proposed few products for me to consider investing for retirement.

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

Easy to understand, plenty of common sense examples and no pressure tactics

Easy to understand

Steve Prce is the best “financial person” I have ever met. He puts forth much effort and is patient w/ a novice like me. Great to work with him.

Bill is fantastic. Patient, informed, and experienced. This is a zero pressure, educational process. Very impressive organization.

Scott was very knowledgeable. It was a good first call.

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.

Jason Solomon is very informed and professional, he helped me through the entire application process with great expertise. His level of communication was great. I will highly recommend him to my friends. Thank you so much Jason.

Barb was helpful, honest, obviously loves the subject-matter, and is very personable to talk to.

I have the understanding that the appointment with your representative was for 30 minutes, not three and a half hours. Yes that’s correct, that appointment lasted nearly three and a half hours.

Ryan is very informed with annuity options and was very helpful to me. I am just not ready to retire at this time.

I opened My account with Joshua because when I met him, I felt very comfortable. He is very informative and explains everything. He takes his time and answers all my questions ..and he is just a phone call away. I like the fact that he is a family man because he treats all his clients as part of his family. I know he is doing the right thing for me ..I trust his decisions.

Ms. Barbara Halperin was personable, uncommonly professional, impressively knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. It was my distinct pleasure connecting with her.

Tony help me transfer my 401k to annuity. Very much recommended

Excellent summary and interactions to date.

I worked with Mark Newman for the first time and he took the complexity and made it simple for me. Was able to answer my questions understand my needs and put together a solution that worked for me. I ll be working with him in the future on some additional investments as he was able to build trust quickly and great follow up as well.

Awesome and very informative!

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.

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.

I was pleasantly surprised at my online experience which led to a very favorable call with my agent, Cal Menzies. He surpassed every expectation as far as his knowledge of the products I considered and recommended the best option for my needs. I never felt pressured and I am now set for the remainder of my retirement years. Highly recommend him! AG is fortunate to have someone like Cal to represent them!

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.

The agent went out of his way to help me even knowing that I may not have been in a position to purchase. Very, very, helpful.

One on one service with a knowledgeable person who listened to my needs and concerns. I was furnished many options and after several meetings and countless emails, I could weed out what was not the right options. Then Andrew let me know his evaluations on what was still on the table. I never felt rushed nor pressured into anything. I feel my retirement plans are taking shape. I will contact Andrew / Annuity gator when phase two is to be put into motion.

Darryl J. Stein was fantastic he went through several scenarios, to ensure we got the best product. We were looking to get extra income from the money we had in other accounts. The product he found for us beat other financial advisors literally by thousands of dollars, we were very pleased with Darryl from Annuity Gator and would recommend him to all our family and friends.

the information was very informative.

Merritt Strunk provided awesome help with questions regarding a competitors Annuity and never even talked about another product or tried to sell me something.

Most excellent information….Love Annuity Gator…. “Paige” is a great teacher!

I was very happy with my experience with annuity gator, Mark the representative I worked with was patient and just let me work through the process and answered every question, and was always available via a phone call or email to answer any questions that I had, I might add that he was prompt with his responses, even after my purchase he still continues to respond in the same manner. Great job Mark I continue to be impressed.

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!

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.

Our representative is very knowledgeable and professional as well as patient . Able to make complex issues very understandable.

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!

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.

Excellent support and knowledgeable answers. If you want objective, fact based information, this is a very good resource.

Terrific honest insight and counsel into often complex annuities.

Our experience with Barbara Halperin was 5 stars due to the professional presentations of the subject matter, the verbal explanations, and the detail of research on each potential annuity company.

Immediate response from an extremely knowledgeable and professional financial consultant.

Jason Siebert was patient and VERY knowledgeable about annuities and how they can help me and my family reach our retirement goals. At one time, I swore I would never use an annuity. And now I have one. I am very happy I do. I still have aggressive investments, but they are very volatile. The product I purchased gives me a great return and eliminates the possibility that I would need to sell stocks in a down market.

I received excellent service from Mark Shelby.

It has been a pleasure working with Joshua. He was patient and thoughtful. he help me to understand all the type of annuities and help me pick the one that fit closest to what I wanted to accomplish. He was always on time for all of the zoom appointments that were set up. All the prelims are done and I am just waiting for my papers to be delivered. Thanks Joshua

I was looking into consolidating several IRA’s in hopes of lessening the time and effort needed to manage them. I wanted to check into annuities to see if they were right for me and the people at Annuity Gator spent a lot of time and sent me material to help me understand annuities. I believe they presented several products that were quite attractive but at this time I decided to continue my course of action. I will use the information they gave me so that in the future I can confidently choose an annuity from them that fits my needs.

Warren was very helpful and offered good information

Investigating and attempting to understand different annuity products is very challenging. So it requires a person who can help and has great expertise and is willing to go the distance, in conveying information in an articulate and patient way. And Matthew Taub is that guy for the Job ! He truly enjoys helping people. He has been so industrious, enthusiastic and conscientious in educating me on the annuity products that are tailored to my individual needs. It is so important to find the Right fiduciary willing to point you in the correct direction ! Great Experience ! Thanks Matthew . . . You are one in a Million !

Great service! Thank you

Barbara provided a broad array of information and alternatives for me that I could not have researched and gotten on my own.

Jeff help me a lot and guide me to choose the right annuity plan based of my current status and for my future retirement income.

Paige is wonderful. She explains everything no matter how long it takes. She is very knowledgeable about annuities and other financial areas. We are so glad we found her.

Donna was there with me every step of the way. She was very thorough about all the products and services available. She made me feel like I made good choices and know she will always be there for information and support.

Excellent service. Appreciated the seminar by Terry. Have received excellent service, responsiveness, knowledgeable and very personable advisor, Barbara Halperin. She is great. Have already recommended her to others. Thank you, Barbara!

They were very professional and organized. They explained things to me very well and provided me with a great deal of relevant information during the decision process.

Ryan McNeill is an Excellent advisor! He very patiently and clearly guided me through annuities helping me understand annuity terminology and policies. He is very professional as well as friendly, patient and positive. He is a pleasure and a real asset to Annuity Gator!

Robert Baltzell was a great help explaining the type of annuity I had been sold by another agency. He went above and beyond my expectations when contacting Annuity Gator.

I learned a lot about Annuity. Very informative. Thanks

A very helpful conversation re: explaining how my annuity works as well as the pluses and minuses!

i had a very good experience working with Rick Sparkman… I was rather gun shy about attempting to search out another annuity, since my first encounter with annuities was with a financial advisor who knew little about the products and had very limited offerings.. Rick opened the gates to the many types of annuities that Annuity Gator has available.. Although, I thought the evaluation of these annuities difficult.. he made it seamless.. explaining to me which one best serves my needs.. I would recommend Rick to anyone interested in using annuities as another investment tool.

Terri has a great deal of info on annuities to help with your decision to buy which type of annuity.Like he tells you he doesn’t guess, he takes hard information and drafts a plan for you.

Neil Dekter was precise and gave his sound assurance that I would be delivered the exact product I was looking for! I am very happy with his service and believe me after dealing with my regional bank M&T this man should be given a medal,I am going to recommend Neil to all of my associates and brothers and sisters of mine and my sister UA local unions!

Very helpful full of information

Choosing a financial adviser is one of the most important decisions you can make for yourself; it is why I would recommend Scott Stooksbury to anyone who needs financial advice and want to buy financial product tailored to your needs. He is a good listener, takes the time to get to know you, and answered your questions. He provides a comprehensive current market analyses with detailed list of Carriers and their products. Scott is trustworthy and honest. He is always prompt to respond over email and phone calls. Every meeting with him has been productive and pleasant. His professionalism and empathy make him a top financial advisor. I am glad we have chosen to work with Scott Stooksbury.

David was informative, prepared and candid regarding his recommendation on which plan would be best for my retirement.

Informational!!

I and my wife are both going to be fully retired. Not managing money very well for 64 years of age I need someone that could educated my going into a presentation mode where I don t want to be fully in the stock market in the later years of life. I am so great full that Marco Pallares contacted me to put a plan even be a year away from taking action he took his time explaining the opportunity that we can use. Thanks Marco!!!

Patiently stayed with me while I checked out several different products and was always available to answer any questions I had. Had added peace of mind for my final yeas of retirement and for my wife’s as well.
