Read this timely article if you are planning to change financial advisors or select your first advisor in the first quarter of 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you find a competent, ethical financial advisor you can trust?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are replacing an advisor, how do you avoid making the same mistake twice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are selecting your first financial advisor, how do you minimize your risk of making a catastrophic mistake<\/span><\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first experience selecting a financial advisor, you are more likely to buy investment and insurance products from salesmen who initiate contact with you. This makes the process easy – you don\u2019t have to do any work. You simply interview them and buy from the person you like the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if you are replacing a financial advisor there is a good chance you had a bad experience with your previous, terminated advisor. In this case, you are more likely to use a process that helps you select the best advisor, not the advisor with the best sales skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are more cautious because the easy process, that is dominated by salesmen, did not work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
