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!
Brian Greco was just awesome to work
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!!
My annuity education

Annuity Gator Review
Annuity Gator never did make contact with me to set up a review of my financial plan?
I was very pleased to get the insight I
I was very pleased to get the insight I needed from Ryan and appreciate his advice without any pressure whatsoever to purchase through him.
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.

Very honest and upfront
Very honest and upfront
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.

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.

Terry Ciotti was excellent in helping me understand how annuities work and explaining the policy terminology. He has a great demeanor and concern for his client. He is a highly valued employee for annuity gator and should be referred for new clients at any level.

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.

Helpful & Not Overbearing
Was considering different annuities and thought this site might provide some clarification. Talked with Terry Ciotti who got back to me in a timely manner with some options. He listened carefully about what I wanted as an end result & provided appropriate guidance. Appreciated not having a product forced on me.
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.
I was very happy with my experience
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.
A great phone meeting.
Barb was helpful, honest, obviously loves the subject-matter, and is very personable to talk to.

Annuity Gator connected us with a real find, Sean Mason from Fresno Financial advisors. Sean is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and trustworthy, the exact type of professional we search for when it comes to consultants, from doctors to finance. Since we made contact with Sean via Annuity Gator a couple of months ago, we have established a wonderful working relationship with Sean and his great staff and completed several major transactions. We couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you, Annuity Gator.

I had a phone meeting with Joshua Schlinsky. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the subject. He was very patient with all my questions about annuities and answered all of them. He is very good at what he does. I have decided to go another direction with my savings but Mr Schlinsky would be someone I would highly recommend to my friends and family. Thank you, Jon Jeffery Tyler

Keeping It Simple
My advisor explained the Annuity I was interested in simple terms. He was patient. I felt I was being educated.Have not made a decision yet after 4 conversations..but that’s ok..this is important to really understand before I lay my money down.
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!

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 !
