We were unhappy with our previous advisor at a different company and reached out to American Heritage Investment and Retirement Center to inquire about their services. We were so impressed at our initial meeting with Ben Schleicher that we made the change at that first meeting. Ben walked us through everything we needed as we both transitioned from full-time jobs to part-time to full retirement. He has a way of explaining things that make it easy for us to understand and connects any changes to our situation and goals. Ben’s planning extends beyond the current meeting, with defined plans for the next 3-6 months. Ben has also helped with short-term financial plans as we sold our house and moved to new construction. It's a pleasure to work with him and we are confident that he has our best interest in mind.
