#138. Financial Planner tells a story of why Fee-Only matters

How snowboarding in Park City influenced the genesis of Graystone Advisor

In this episode, Aaron shares his story of attending due diligence conferences to learn about non-traded REITs. While it was nice to be wined and dined, he started to see where the client's money went and how understanding fees is important. There will always be conflicts of interest, but if you are open and transparent about incentives, you can start down the path of trying to do better.
