I was not sure and set uneasy to be Great advice, gave me a piece of mind.
After reading over the documents of my annuity, I felt as though I had made a horrible mistake. My mind was very uneasy and troubled questioning if I had made the right decision. After talking with a representative from Annuity Gator, the representative reassured me that even though the annuity that I invested in may not be the overall best annuity that it was a good annuity that will not allow me to lose any investments. The representative also went into detail and explained to me the pros and cons of my annuity. I received a thorough understanding which left me at ease with a clear mind. I would like to thank Annuity Gator for their honesty, professionalism, and great expertise.

Feeling confident
Having NO experience with my finances as far as retirement goes, I went to a seminar with a different firm, and, found things that weren’t making me happy with them. The MAJOR problem was not being able to see where and HOW my money was working in Lamen terms. Very difficult to understand and also that there were fees in almost everything I wanted to do and another was all the paper work that needed to get done to obtain my own money. I investigated many other firms and decided that I would like to try Annuity Gator. Right out of the gate , they set me up with a local advisor that called me, went over things and made an appointment to come out to my house and, To make a long story short, Set me up with a plan that I understood, could see on my computer and actually understand what he was talking about. It took a couple of weeks to get things set up, but he traveled 45 min. to and from my place and even got on the phone with me and the banks that I wanted to move funds to and det up a steady monthly withdrawal that I was comfortable with. It’s only a start but at least I feel confident in this company that I won’t have to work anymore. I’m not rich nor will I be but I’ve always been a conservative and feel good at this move. Thank You, Jeff Blocker for being the professional you are. I look forward to a continues business connection with you.

The advisor you put me in touch with
The advisor you put me in touch with (Barb Halperin) was very knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all of my questions and offered me three attractive options. Unfortunately, due to restrictions on my existing 403(b) plan that prevent me from moving money out of it while I am still actively working, I am unable to take advantage of the annuity options she offered until I actually retire or leave my job. I definitely plan to reconnect with her when that happens.

Great Service from a Proffessional makes a difference.
My wife and I went to Annuity Gator to compare what we already had in our Annuities with other Annuities because we weren’t happy with our pay out. We contacted Darryl Stein with Annuity Gator and I must say that Darryl was the difference maker for us, He wanted for us what we wanted and that basically was to get the most out of the money we had invested. He was proffessional throughout the whole process, got us twice the payout we were going to get with our previous annuity. When we were ready to sign the documents he came to our house and went over everything including setting up the websites with the new company we invested in. To put it simply Darryl was great and we are very happy with our annuity that he set up for us.

Feeling secure about my future
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.

Had my 401k invested in stocks but felt
Had my 401k invested in stocks but felt very uncomfortable with it and wanted to make a change. Found annuitugator onllime and called them. Was asked about my expectations and what I wanted from an annuity. At end of conversation the rep I was working with was going to do some research into what would fit my needs and agreed to another meeting the next week. At the next meeting there were several different plans to look at and the rep went through each one and explained the benefits of each one he had selected. At the end I selected with his guidance which one was the best fit and which one I liked. There was no pressure to select one or reject all of them. I made a choice and we proceeded with the paper work to apply. I have never regretted my decision and was given assistance all the way through to the end

Annuity Gator-Critique
I am new to your program, but the overall-content is really good. Love the case histories & asking for permission with a prospect to tell some personal stories. I would give it a 5-Star except some people are not muted & the volume seems too low to sometimes not hear everything that is being discussed. Love the weekly feedback! Keep it going!
- Marvin
Jeff is excellent to work with and to plan with

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.

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.

I ve worked with Terry for almost three
I ve worked with Terry for almost three years now and consider that s he s done an admirable job. He s answered all my questions and preempted many many more. My wife and I feel quite secure in the fact that the money we ve invested via Terry s recommendations will pay dividends in our retirement. More importantly, we can think about enjoying these next few years prior to retirement than wonder we ve set aside enough for a comfortable retirement. I can wholeheartedly recommend Terry if you re serious about your financial future and want to work with an honest straightforward individual who s interested in your financial success rather than maximizing his own profits.

I had many questions about Annuity’s
I had many questions about Annuity’s and did not feel the people I had been talking to were giving me all my options. But one email to Annuity Gator began a process where they went the extra mile to inform me of the many choices out there. I even got a breakdown in the mail just today. I would recommend them to anyone looking to find out more on how annuities work and what to expect across the board. They have been outstanding in helping me make some tough decisions. Thank You!

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.

My advisor – Joshua
Worked with Joshua Schlinsky back in Q3 2022, and we did our annual review this year. I found him patient, a good listener and most important, giving me a sense of an advisor who projected a fiduciary perspective towards my situation with knowledge of products towards a modeled solution. AnnuityGator is fortunate to have him as an asset to help folks on some financial planning.

I will certainly recommend her to others.

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.

Hello Annuity Gator
Hello Annuity Gator, I again would like to express my praise of agent Sean Sparkman in my dealings with him to secure my income stream annuity,he followed through 100% on what he initially told me about working hard and leaving no stone unturned to help me meet my goals. I had read into annuities online and in writings but didn’t realize how limited my understanding was, he showed me an avenue i didn’t know existed strategized ,knocked on every door and negotiated. two thumbs up !

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.

Helpful and thorough
Rick Sparkman was a wonderful advisor. He thoroughly considered my goal -guaranteed income -and provided a number of different options that allowed me to understand the different sort of benefits that would accrue from the different classes of offerings (cd like return, guaranteed payout for life after deferral, payout with variability indexed). I was able to clarify what my real goals are and what I was willing to sacrifice (access to the sum deposited, inheritance) in order to achieve a guaranteed high payout for life for both my wife and me. Annuities are complicated and are inherently costly but they can achieve specific goals if you understand them. Some part of everyone’s portfolio needs to be immune to market fluctuation and an annuity can be part of that strategy. I was given an excellent education with weeks of meetings and I came to a conclusion that fits my needs. Even if you do not think annuities are for you (and I was one of those) speaking with Rick helped me understand their appropriate postioning within my plans.
