Before & After
Before I contacted Joseph, I knew nothing about annuities & was very sceptical of this product. After speaking with him & reading his book, “Wealth Compounded”, I feel much more at easy concerning fixed & indexed annuities.

I was delighted and very comfortable
I was delighted and very comfortable working with Barbara Halperin of Annuity Gator. I had no idea there were so many different annuities. Her years of experience and her knowledge were most helpful in explaining the difference between an annuity and what would be a tremendous lifelong annuity for me. I will be forever grateful to Barbara and Annuity Gator. Great people build great companies. Thanks, Barbara!

I want to express my heart felt gratitude
I want to express my heart felt gratitude for the assistance and guidance that our Annuity Advisor , Neil Dekter, provided my wife and I when converting our IRA in to our current Annuity. My wife and I had experienced a most un-fortunate event related to a portion of our retirement investments and, the company that held our investments made transferring funds challenging. Neil’s Courtesy, Professionalism and Patience helped not only to execute the transfer smoothly but, helped my wife and I keep our sanity through a trying time! Through Neil’s efforts, I rest easy knowing that my wife and I will receive a steady monthly lifetime income. I am sure there are many Annuity Advisors who are experts in the industry and, Neil is not only an expert in Annuities, he is an expert in people and truly cares for his clients! My wife and I feel deeply blessed to have met Neil and had the opportunity to work with him!

I needed an independent review and
I needed an independent review and explanation of an annuity product I was in the process of purchasing. After Chris took my personal situation into account and gave me a clearer understanding of how the annuity would affect my personal situation. I now have a better understanding and more knowledge to give me the confidence in making the best decision for me. Chris Knight answered all my questions and addressed my concerns with no sales pitch or pressure. What a refreshing experience. I recommend anyone who is not sure or does not fully understands annuities, Annuity Gator can give some piece of mind in making some life changing decisions.
- Anita



Terry was very helpful explaining the
Terry was very helpful explaining the options I have and how each one works in general and also specific to my situation. I will review his information and go over it with my wife. Just not sure if this is the time for me to commit yet since I do have other income sources currently filling any potential gap, but I can see where a FIA would be perfect for me if one or more of these sources were interrupted and a gap materialized.

The Best Annuity Advisor
I m absolutely pleased to work with Cal Menzies, and had him as my Annuity Advisor. He was truly focused on my needs, he did an excellent follow up to make sure all was done properly and on time. He worked hard to find the best product for me and get my benefits when I needed it. He was very professional, showing that he cares about every aspect of her job and his clients. Thank you Cal for all your attention. It was a pleasure working with you. I sincerely thank you for the time we have worked together. We continue in contact! I would highly recommend Cal Menzies to anyone who is looking for Annuity investments.

The difference to me is having Ron
The difference to me is having Ron Allison at Annuity Gator by my side all the way through the entire process. I only hope this won’t be the last time I talk with this very kind, knowledgeable advisor. He is an asset to Annuity Gator and made me feel very comfortable even when I know I drove him crazy with all my multiple questions. He stood by me and understood my nervousness. I assure you I would not hesitate to call him again for another transfer. Thank you, Ron. L.Reynolds

The advisor you put me in touch with
The advisor you put me in touch with (Barb Halperin) was very knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all of my questions and offered me three attractive options. Unfortunately, due to restrictions on my existing 403(b) plan that prevent me from moving money out of it while I am still actively working, I am unable to take advantage of the annuity options she offered until I actually retire or leave my job. I definitely plan to reconnect with her when that happens.

Joshua: Annuity Gator
Joshua helped me understand annuity products, how they can offer a safe and secure income stream for years to come. I’d received some advisement from other financial planners, didn’t like their approach, seemed more interested in sales than guidance to protect my retirement funds. We met several times, did my research and finely came to the best options for me, meet the goals we set during our initial meeting. His guidance, patience were most valued during the process, explained everything in terms i could understand. As i move forward into retirement i feel more secure that i’ll be able gain a good income stream while preserving my investment, providing a legacy for my family.

Skeptical though interested
Initially I was very skeptical concerning FIAs, how they worked and fit into my retirement plans. I had no idea what to expect, thought it was all fancy sales hype. I reached out to a few financial planners with various programs but not sold on the proposals. I did my homework, contacted Annuity Gator for their take on the subject which connected me with Joshua. After a few meetings, reading through his book things started to make sense. Joshua was straight forward answering any, all questions about the products available to me with great patience. We continued to meet for almost a year before coming up with a solution that fit my goals, decided to include my pension, 403B funds into two products to supplement Social Security at retirement. Joshua was on top of all the products available, ratings and felt my best interests were met. Joshua ran down all the numbers, options and went with guaranteed payments for life, a legacy option. Both FIAs together provided the shortfall I was looking for which included beneficiaries. Joshua was great to work with, would highly recommend his services.

My advisor, Wendy Pyne, was outstanding.

James Ault is Excellent
James Ault, AnnuityGator Analyst, is a very honest and intelligent person who is very knowledgeable about investments, especially annuities. He is also very patient and takes the time to fully understand his customer and their goals. He also does an excellent job of explaining how the various annuities work and suggesting the best options for his customers.

I ve worked with Terry for almost three
I ve worked with Terry for almost three years now and consider that s he s done an admirable job. He s answered all my questions and preempted many many more. My wife and I feel quite secure in the fact that the money we ve invested via Terry s recommendations will pay dividends in our retirement. More importantly, we can think about enjoying these next few years prior to retirement than wonder we ve set aside enough for a comfortable retirement. I can wholeheartedly recommend Terry if you re serious about your financial future and want to work with an honest straightforward individual who s interested in your financial success rather than maximizing his own profits.

Lisa’s new annuity
I have just replaced an old annuity with a new, better one. I could not have made it through this process had it not been for my advisor, William Seeley. He guided me every step of the way, by asking what I wanted/needed the annuity to do, explaining things I didn’t understand, answering my questions and most of all, staying in contact. He worked very hard on my behalf and got me the annuity that I needed to further my retirement goals. I will definitely recommend his services to my family and friends.

Glad We turned to Annuity Gator !!
Darryl J. Stein was fantastic he went through several scenarios, to ensure we got the best product. We were looking to get extra income from the money we had in other accounts. The product he found for us beat other financial advisors literally by thousands of dollars, we were very pleased with Darryl from Annuity Gator and would recommend him to all our family and friends.

The agent was very respectful and knowledgeable regarding annuities. Since I had read Bank on Yourself by Pamela Yellen, it was easy to discuss the issues regarding annuities. There is a sense of security in listening to someone who knows what he is talking about void of ego.

Writing agent/firm Review
Beginning late January ’24 to the present, our writing agent has provided extremely courteous and timely responses, not only to our initial request for an appointment but to every subsequent, product-related question that we asked. Ultimately, he recommended an annuity product that met our objectives and then some! He delivered an organized, easy to understand presentation that was supported with an equally understandable illustration. Our customer experience has been consistently positive since the end of January through today’s meeting to review the contract.

I was not sure and set uneasy to be Great advice, gave me a piece of mind.
After reading over the documents of my annuity, I felt as though I had made a horrible mistake. My mind was very uneasy and troubled questioning if I had made the right decision. After talking with a representative from Annuity Gator, the representative reassured me that even though the annuity that I invested in may not be the overall best annuity that it was a good annuity that will not allow me to lose any investments. The representative also went into detail and explained to me the pros and cons of my annuity. I received a thorough understanding which left me at ease with a clear mind. I would like to thank Annuity Gator for their honesty, professionalism, and great expertise.
