Retirement & Legacy Planning for Kahala and East Honolulu Families
EXCELLENT Based on 29 reviews Posted on Google Avis FuchsbergerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review for financial planner I cannot express how pleased I have been since my daughter found Sage & Co. to assist us with our finances. Sage is very knowledgeable, very dedicated, & quite detailed oriented. He is constantly looking out for our best interest & will present information without any pressure. He is quite responsive & his follow through is timely & excellent. Sage is extremely considerate & personable. He has gone out of his way to accommodate us since my husband was injured & unable to leave our home. I would recommend Sage & his Co. to anyone who is looking for a great financial planner.Posted on Google Joanna BockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Sage to put together a plan for us to have an early retirement, and he killed it. He guided us on investments, IRA contributions, tax advice, and expenses. Thanks to his plan and guidance we will be retiring in December 2025, at the age of 52, and 53. If you're looking to hire a financial advisor that has the skills and experience to help you hit your goals, go with Sage. And he's a super nice guy too!Posted on Google Shalini SolomonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy have found Sage financial. This is my first time using a financial advisor and he took the time to carefully explain everything to me, and provide me many options so that I feel comfortable. Very patient, kind, personable and knowledgeable - all that you want when looking into trusting an advisor. Excited to see the growth now that we'll be working together!Posted on Google BokmakiriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sage helped me find the best ways to supplement my financial goals and offered competitive solutions that continue to fit my needs. Also he is always willing to share his knowledge and expertise and fully answer any questions I have, regardless of how minor my questions might be. I do appreciate that. And having peace of mind regarding these types of things is always nice, and Sage helped ease my concerns. Thank you always!Posted on Google Mike HadmackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sage is a very knowledgeable and professional financial advisor. As someone who has always managed their own finances I wanted to consult with a professional for guidance and validation of my investment goals and strategies. Sage thoroughly reviewed my accounts and situation before meeting to review his thoughtful recommendations. I greatly appreciate his patience in explaining unfamiliar finance topics and flexibility in considering how to use my preferred brokerages and services in addition to those he recommends. Last year, Steven and Sage also helped my wife and I create our first estate plan and trust. They patiently walked us through this very unfamiliar process. I am very happy that we found Sage and Steve for estate and financial planning and highly recommend their services.Posted on Google Satoko TakahashiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sage takes your finances like his own and cares and works hard for you. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in investments, financial makeovers, or retirement plans.Posted on Google Tang SongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sage has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I have used several financial advisors over my 30 plus years of investing, Sage is by far the best. His approach is holistic, meticulous and is able to analyze your financial risk tolerance very thoroughly. Sage took all my information and analyzed them and made recommendations. I would recommend Sage to my anyone who wants a second opinion on their investment portfolio. Give him a call and I think you'll enjoy the no pressure approach to investing.Posted on Google Nancy Sze-ToTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sage has been a great financial resource, a wealth of knowledge, and extremely well versed and humble. He takes the time in assessing my financial needs. He is meticulous and well organized. Working with him is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Much mahalo, Sage!Posted on Google Mike HartigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for some direction and advice on how we could retire as soon as possible and we are very glad we found Sage. Super detailed plan and obtainable budget to make our goal achievable. We have some work to do but being able to stop working at a decently early age is well worth it. Sage is very knowledgeable in all aspects of various investment accounts, tax, and things to avoid to hit goals. We couldn’t be happier with Sage and the detailed plan he has designed for us.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
