Client Testimonials

“Brad Bennest and I have worked together for a number of years now. He’s been a great advisor for me particularly the last four years. I would recommend honestly sharing with Brad what your needs are as they do change at various points, and your strategies are unique to each circumstance. Once you do that, Brad becomes a proper partner in figuring out how to achieve your goals.

Brad is a great communicator and is readily available by phone or email for trades. Should you want to make a trade and send a note, he will phone you asap to confirm. He’s available for longer portfolio and strategy reviews. He’s conscious of tax planning.

Brad loves the stock market. So do I. He’s very knowledgeable about it. More than I and he takes the time to explain things I haven’t come across or don’t know about as I keep learning. He’s patient, supportive, works within proper risk tolerances to keep me from doing something dumb. He’s not a domineering broker. Should you insist on something, he will do it and celebrate the wins or not deride you for a loss. He’s fun to work with and is a cheerful voice on the phone.

I would highly recommend Brad Bennest as your financial partner to build wealth. He takes the time to listen and understand. He’s a solid, reliable person and backed by excellent reporting from Raymond James which makes it easy at tax time. I will be continuing to work with Brad well into the future and I am excited to see what we can do together!”
