Client Testimonials

“Team Exner has played a critical role in our family’s total financial health for the past 8 years.  And we look forward to many more!  Why? 

1.  They genuinely care about us and our overall financial welfare — our relationship is not just about savings, investment accounts, or insurance policies. 

2.  They’re pros on top of their game — they’re experts in the business and stay up to speed with the latest technologies. 

3. They’re passionate about what they do and are always responsive — when we call, they haul. 

4. And mostly, they’re fun to work with — it’s an enjoyable experience every time we meet. 

We couldn’t be more satisfied with John, Claudia and Team Exner!”

This statement is a testimonial by a client of the financial professional as of 6/20/2023.

“We have been with John and his team for almost twenty years. During that time John has helped us transition from active-duty military to civil service, and finally into retirement. His team’s expertise and knowledge helped us optimize our TSP, IRA’s, and Roth conversions during our working years. As we progressed on our financial journey his team took a comprehensive approach of our financial picture, including estate planning, setting up a trust, inheritance assets, and insurance protection.
John’s low-pressure demeanor, knowledge, and his presentations with multiple options helped us navigate the financial landscape.
We are quick to sing the praises of our “financial guy” and many are now John’s clients.
Financial planning is more than just saving money and John’s team addresses all facets to paint a comprehensive financial picture.”

“John speaks our language. When we needed to make decisions about our benefits when transitioning from Active Duty to civil work force, John provided the necessary education that allowed us to make informed decisions about military benefits. The Total Financial Picture Team is easy to work with and responsive. They make us feel that we are the only customer when we reach out for a question or service-related request.”

“John understands the markets. I trust him to do the best with my money, so I don’t have to worry about it. John is engaged, I don’t feel like just another a client.  He has personally designed my portfolio based on my goals and desires. After each meeting, I’m sent an action plan detailing things discussed, and decisions made on any changes to my portfolio.  Plus, a progress meeting report is written for my review.”

“We are confident that John and his team know what they are doing, so we don’t have to worry. We trust them.

“One of the reasons we chose John and the Exner Team was recommendations from friends and colleagues.    John's approach takes into account our desires and risk tolerance.   He doesn't push products or strategies we are not comfortable with.  John gives straight answers and does a great job explaining what the market is doing and how our investment strategy can be successful.   The Exner Team has responded promptly every time we have reached out to them.”

This statement is a testimonial by a client of the financial professional as of 5/19/2023.

“As long-time clients, since 2005, we relied on John and his team to guide us from learning how to budget and save, to investing wisely in order to meet life’s challenges, to raising and getting our two boys through college, to now finally being able to enter our retirement phase confidently knowing that we are prepared for the future.  When we had questions or concerns, John didn’t just give us advice, he listened to our concerns and spent the time necessary to educate us on the options and opportunities available to us and then let us decide what is best for our family.  John’s comprehensive approach to our financial journey included investment strategies, college funding, estate planning, trusts, inheritance considerations and insurance that provides us with options that we could use for long-term care needs should that arise.  We don’t consider John and Claudia our “financial planners” but rather a real and lasting part of our family.  You make many decisions in your life; choosing John and Claudia to help us plan our life and our future is one of the best decisions we ever made.”

“John and the Exner team listened and created a financial journey for us that included all the various financial tools to get us to our goals.  For the last 13 years, from our time on active duty, through our military retirement and now during our post-military working years, they've supported us in making decisions as we prepare for our leisure years. The team is a well-oiled machine that seamlessly gets you and your finances on a path personally developed for you.  They are just a phone call away to get reassurance &/or advice.  In the end we knew what we wanted; John and his team helped us get what we needed!  Thank you for helping us make some hard decisions in life and keeping us pointed in the right direction.”

This statement is a testimonial by a client of the financial professional as of 7/8/2023.

“John came recommended from a friend, we interviewed him and began an 8-year (and counting) relationship.  John and his team are professional, caring and have demonstrated repeatedly that they have our family’s best interests at heart.  As our two children have entered into college and jobs of their own, they too work with John and his team.  Giving our children their own financial competence and confidence is one of the most important things we can offer them as they prepare to make their own financial decisions. John is helping us do that in addition to ensuring we’re financially prepared to retire, when we’re ready.”
