The interview

What was your initial experience meeting Dan?

To meet with Dan, there was no pressure. He was straightforward with everything, and we've been really pleased. We met Dan at a seminar, and we spoke with him briefly, and we were impressed by what he had to say.

What was the situation with your previous financial planner?

The person that we use as a financial planner was not doing us any good. Our previous investments weren't going anywhere. We were getting multiple statements every week with numbers of things that were being bought and sold, sometimes even in the same week. It didn't make any sense to us, and the person handling it did not explain what had happened.

What did Dan discover when he reviewed your old statements?

When we met Dan and I took all these statements to him, he looked at that and told us that all that was computer generated. We had someone who was taking a commission and a fee, but really not doing anything for us. The money that we had, actually, we were probably starting to lose money, or if there was a gain, it was very minimal.

How has your experience been since working with Panic Proof Retirement?

Since working with him, we feel comfortable about what's being done, and we look—we feel a lot more protected. Having Dan guide us, our money has grown. He really has done a wonderful job. He was very good at explaining what he felt was best for us, and we never felt rushed.

How would you describe the communication and staff support?

Anytime we have had a question come up along the way, he's always been very good about having his staff get back with us within the same day usually. He is always available for questions and never hesitated to give us time as we needed it.

What is your advice to others considering these services?

Do yourself a world of good and contact him. I think that they would be very pleased and have nothing to lose. In our case, we've made great gains, financially and also in the relationship and rapport that we have accomplished. If you were on the fence, you should definitely do it.
