Working with Scott has been great and I kinda wish I would have engaged with him sooner!! After years of self-managing my investments, I needed & wanted the confidence of a financial professional to help me navigate through post-hurricane money & property woes and also make sure none of that derailed my retirement goals. After just a couple months, I feel a huge sense of relief to have Scott's expertise and support in guiding my investment strategy now. Its been an even bigger bonus to have his guidance with the turbulent changes in the stock market over the last few months! I enjoy reading his newsletters each month and know I can reach out with any questions, concerns or guidance on paths to take when the marketplace is uncertain. If you've been debating on whether to work with a professional financial team...stop pondering now and just reach out to Retire Orlando today!! You will be super happy you did!

Scott was actually the third financial planner I talked with before deciding on him. The first planner didn’t seem interested in taking my modest investment amount in spite of knowing him for many years. Second planner, without telling me upfront, wanted me to purchase a long term health care policy from him that after looking at the numbers I decided against. After I declined, he told me that if I sold other investments and had more money for him he would take me on. Scott didn’t seem to mind my relatively small investment amount and has been honest and straightforward! Any question I’ve had related to finances and retirement, sometimes unrelated questions also, Scott has had an answer. You can tell Scott has a passion for investing and helping people work their way towards retirement and beyond. While I tend to be skeptical of people, Scott has gained my trust and respect over the years I’ve known him. Thanks Scott!

I’ve been privileged to have Retire Orlando and Scott Perrone be my financial planner and advisor for about a year now. Truth be said, Scott is a great find. His calm demeanor, vast knowledge, and sound reasoning, instill in me a great feeling of confidence and peace of mind. I always look forward to Scott’s extremely thorough quarterly reviews. His outlook on the overall economic conditions and the stock market is always on point, and his investment strategy is simple and straight forward. His great attention to detail and expertise are evident in his answers to all questions and concerns, as well as all requests for advice. Scott is a Bull inside and out. In his eyes, the glass is always half full vice half empty. He’s a great advisor and a greater educator. I’ve learned from Scott about investments and strategies, in a short period time, more than I’ve learned in over a decade. Scott is a dedicated professional, patient, and tolerant, and I salute him for his exceptional business acumen, tenacity, and great resolve. I strongly recommend Scott Perrone for your investments needs.

I have been a client of Retire Orlando since the beginning. My portfolio has gone through the roof. Love the fact that Scott takes everything into consideration of your life and the goals you want to achieve and puts them in layman’s terms that you can understand. Thanks Scott!
