I had previously worked with several local banks, when managing my retirement nest egg, but I was never happy. I dreaded going to the bank because I always felt like I was just a number and there was always something new they wanted me to invest in or a new product to purchase. After speaking with some of my closest friends, they spoke very highly of Ameriprise Financial and the local advisors here in Marion. They suggested I speak with them about my retirement accounts and what they could offer to me. I found that they treated me as not only a client, but as a friend and cared deeply about my dreams and goals in life. This was a completely different experience than when I worked with the bank. To me, it was never about the returns, it was about who would be there if something went wrong? I never had a second thought about moving my money to them. The financial advisors and staff of this office continue to provide me with exceptional service and advice. The have helped me take advantage of the good times in the maket and remaining stead fast in the worst times. Today I am enjoying the retirement that I envisioned thanks to all of their wonderful guidence and financial planning. I would highly recommend anyone considering choosing an advisor to visit their office first.
