Do you have someone or some company who is committed to insuring your retirement dollars only go up and not down? Do you have retirement advice from a person or firm that maintains its own service staff? Does your current retirement and insurance advisor provide you with award winning customer service with a caring staff which rapidly responds to your calls, questions and needs? The Bostian Retirement Planning experience involves a highly trained and experienced staff hand-picked by Mr. Bostian himself to personally service each need that you may have. Everyone at Bostian Retirement Planning is committed to specializing in growth while protecting our clients’ wealth. The question is not why you should choose Bostian Retirement Planning, the question is why you haven’t yet.TRUST
Regardless of good times or bad – trusting the advice of where to position your retirement dollars is always a difficult decision. At Bostian Retiremnt Planning, LLC, we keep the process simple and your money secure. The relationship between client and firm is one of family, it is personal, and all of our staff is trained to incorporate ethics in our daily actions and incorporate a high level of customer service. Our firm has received the highest ratings of customer satisfaction through client and company surveys, and as Raymond so often reminds the staff - “We exist to make a positive difference in the lives of every one of our clients and future clients.” It is a higher calling than retirement planning - it is a daily commitment to excellence in our service to you.
What We Do
As an independent retirement planning firm, we recommend the best strategies to help you realize your retirement objectives without forcing your retirement planning into a cookie cutter plan. We don’t work for a brokerage firm or a bank, so we are able to recommend what we truly feel will help you live financially secure in any economy while retired.
WHY CHOOSE BOSTIAN RETIREMENT PLANNING?
Everyone wants to trust their retirement and insurance advisor. They want someone that will say and do the right thing on behalf of their clients. At Bostian Retirement Planning, trust is never in question, since our primary focus is on protecting our client’s assets before, during and after retirement (for you, our family and charities).
Being an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau and many nation-wide industry awards do not tell the whole picture of the Bostian Retirement Planning experience. It is the thousands of clients who consider themselves a member of the family - not as merely a number in the client base.
Becoming a member of the Bostian Retirement Planning family has only one requirement - a willingness and belief that your lifetime of wealth should be protected. You also recognize that the financial industry may not have provided the safety of principal or guaranteed lifetime income you need in preparation for your retirement years. You are looking for someone who cares about you - a relationship that extends beyond just the numbers in an account.
