COMPANY HIGHLIGHT:
Advisor Partners (“AP”) is an accomplished provider of tax loss-harvesting and direct indexing asset management services.

My hometown is Oakland, CA and today I live in Lafayette with my amazing partner, Tricia, her son, my daughter, and our cat.  After graduating from UCLA in 1978, I began my insurance career at an insurance agency in San Francisco. In 1983, I became the Agency Principal of David Shaffer Insurance Services and recently celebrated my 27^th year in business as a Professional Independent Insurance Agency.  My personal interests include cooking, hiking, downhill skiing, photography, various volunteer work, and traveling. In 2019, I spent three incredible weeks in Portugal and during the 2020 Thanksgiving week, enjoyed five incredible days in Yosemite.

COMPANY HIGHLIGHT:
What really sets my agency apart from other insurance agencies and licensed agents is how we approach our
insurance work. We start with the premise we always do what is in the best intertest of our clients. We will
not provide any premium indication, known as a quote, or suggest any insurance company that we represent
until after an extensive review of all the existing insurance coverage, the completion of a unique Insurance
Risk and Attitude Questionnaire, and after we have identified thoroughly all the assets at risk.  In contrast,
most agents or agencies will just want to provide immediately a quote without any deep analysis. Click Here

As a financial planner your job is to help clients feel secure and confident in their retirement. To do that you create plans that can handle the ups and downs. The problem is it’s impossible to anticipate everything which can make a client feel anxious and concerned about events outside of their control.

Clients deserve to look forward to retirement and enjoy it. Help your clients stop feeling stressed and anxious about their retirement finances and instead help them accomplish more than they could have dreamed of in retirement.

Over the last 15 years we have helped clients access over $50 million of home equity to solidify their retirement finances. Let me show you how.

It is important for you to be able to fully understand how a reverse mortgage works and how it can benefit your clients. I can help with that.

As CPA and 20 years as the owner of Signet Mortgage. I am a Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional (CRMP) and love to educate others on the strategic application of a reverse mortgage.

Not limited to just reverse mortgages I can apply the same level of expertise to the first time homebuyer through clients moving on up as families grow too!
