Does Your Financial Advisor Need to Be Local?

About this episode

Greg and Kristin discuss the importance of factors beyond proximity when choosing a financial advisor.

In this episode, Greg and Kristin explore whether proximity really matters when choosing a financial advisor—or if something else matters more. Greg and Kristen share a powerful story about a local woman who loved her longtime advisor but sought a second opinion after moving closer to Columbus. The conversation highlights why focus, experience, coordination, and comfort matter far more than zip code. You’ll hear what to look for in a retirement-focused advisor, why “perfect” doesn’t always mean complete, and how the right questions—and the right fit—can change everything.   🕒 Don’t leave retirement to chance—claim your FREE consultation now.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
