It Worked

It seems to be working. It has worked before so I expect in 3 or 4 days I will have the money. It was able to send messages to my phone and an email. So Foresters has kept the information correctly. It was quick to do.

My advisor is Anitha Katikaneni.

My advisor is Anitha Katikaneni.
I was introduced to Forester Life by my cousin,a very long standing customer.
I found Anitha to be extremely helpful and patient, explaining everything more than once in basic easy to understand language. I felt at ease with her from the beginning which helped me a great deal.
Thank you Anitha.

Annual meeting with Cheryl

Had my yearly meeting today with Cheryl Phillips to check everything is as it should be. It went super smoothly, Cheryl was as friendly as always and makes finances feel like the easiest thing in the world. I would highly recommend Foresters Financial (and Cheryl) to anyone looking at saving for the future.

I have had a very positive experience

I have had a very positive experience working with Mark Leach. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain my options. He did not pressure me into making a decision on the spot. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy financial advice

My experience was great

My experience was great. I had talked to Lee Conor who made my options very clear and their advantages and disadvantages. He had also helped me navigate the website for the option I had chosen and made the whole process easy to follow and understand.
