Annuity Gator Avis 537

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.

I am of retirement age and was looking for a safe place to invest in a fixed-income annuity. I discovered that the garden variety financial advisors really don’t have access to a large selection of annuity products. I was disappointed with the return I was quoted from this small selection. Consequently, I went online and found Annuity Gator. I filled out the small form on their site and a couple of days later was contacted by Jeff Musgrave.

Jeff was wonderful and exceptionally knowledgeable about the sort of annuity in which I was interested. He also was sensitive to my number one fear which was the idea of working with someone whom I met online. THAT IDEA SCARED ME TO DEATH! However, in the end my fears were alleviated by Jeff’s low-key, no push approach. He was glad to give me all of the time it took for me to come to my own conclusions, while at the same time, he was always free to answer additional questions. He encouraged me to do my own due diligence and provided me with suggested tools to check out the products, the companies and even him—completely independent of our conversations.

That made all of the difference for me and relieved those fears. I ended up buying an annuity through him and am very happy with the entire experience. He is still available to me to answer any questions. I trust him without any reservations. Anyone interested in locating and investing in an annuity can be certain of his competence, knowledge and integrity. Thank you Jeff and thank you Annuity Gator! You really made a substantial difference in my retirement income.

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 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.

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.

I was in a position where I needed to move money from an old 401k into something more secure. Mark and his team provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed choice about the annuity I chose. The process and communication was very easy.

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

Tony Sebra was able to explain the details of the annuity plan with me in a way that made it clear to me how it would benefit me. He ran my 'what if' scenarios and showed me the potential results. It helped me to make this important life decision.

Marcus was very patient and clear when he explained how annuities work. I appreciated his honesty about the various choices open to me and I trusted his advice.

Just the customer support we got from Cale

Marcus was very helpful in explaining all the pros and cons of various annuities and helped me choose the best one for me.

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.

Service rep Jeff Woodard was so helpful. He made the entire process so easy to understand. He was friendly,patient, and gave me the feeling that he was working for me, to try and get a good product within the constraints of my own personal financial situation.

David Driggers of Annuity Gator was very thorough. Great communication and promptly responded to emails and phone calls. He was available every step of the way. Would definitely recommend.

Ryan was so honest and clear in explaining everything. He knows what he is doing and guided me to where I want and need to be. He was GREAT. I felt like he was a long time friend helping me out. I am going to recommend him to my friends and family.
He was so patient and understood my poor knowledge about the terms language in this world. He made it so easy to understand this retirement world.

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.

We met Joshua Schlinsky through annuity gator while we were working through some annuity options. Joshua educated us on some annuity options that were a good fit for our specific needs. He made the process comfortable for us as we worked towards the option that was the right fit for our situation. We are very happy with the annuity option that Joshua helped us choose. Joshua made this a positive experience for us.

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.

I knew I wanted the security of an annuity, but did not know much more than that. Annuity Gator and my agent, Toney Sebra, guided me through choosing the right annuity for me. Toney was extremely helpful in setting up the purchase and funding of the annuity. I am so pleased that I now have the security of guaranteed lifetime income.

Listened well and put me in touch with a great advisor who was able to meet my needs.
