Satisfied Customers
Mr. Sylvia was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. We met at a free Social Security seminar he offered at a local library. Even though he knew I was already working with another advisor, he made good on his commitment to provide a comprehensive analysis of my options, and even took the time to help me see where I could improve my savings performance. Highly recommend his services.

Working with Damian is stressless. I had a pile of statements from different investments that I admit I didn’t understand. He was able to not only sort it all out, but explain everything to me so I understood what I had and the safest way to invest it. The staff in the office, Gail and Marissa, are incredible. Anytime I call with an issue or question they are kind, super helpful and knowledgeable. I’ve sent friends to Damian and they have been extremely happy.

The Good Lord was watching over me when I suddenly decided to attend one of Damian Sylvia’s Social Security seminars in the summer of 2022, followed by a meeting with him shortly after. Although I was already in retirement, he changed my life and calmed the fears I had about the years ahead. His style is calming, thorough, understanding. He presents the options in a manner that is easy to understand. Having followed his suggestions, I can now breathe a sigh of relief each month for the rest of my life! His staff is wonderful and immediately responsive. So refreshing in this day and age! Hats off to Damian and his entire team!!

5 stars isn’t enough. Damian and his staff answered all my questions. Showed me the growth my contributions over my working years would yield me come retirement time. The staff is very knowledgeable. It really hit home when they told me it’s not about the contribution rather the compound interest. The paperwork was so easy. They highlighted where I needed to sign. Told me what to do every step of the way. Marissa was fabulous. She took her time and explained everything.
