He has advised successful professionals, business owners, and high net-worth individuals for over 20 years, and has always had the ability to meet with someone and make them feel comfortable. Tim's goal is to provide a safe, secure and stress-free retirement for his clients. NONE of Tim's client's have ever lost a dollar due to a market downturn because he ONLY deals in fixed products that offer complete protection from losses. This means his clients can sleep well every night, and so can he. He also offers Medicare, Group Health and Life insurance planning.
As a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, Tim ALWAYS puts his client's needs first in every situation, ensuring they have the best possible plan in place. This begins with every client by going through a thorough Fact-Finder appointment where the client's current situation is examined in detail to determine the best possible course of action to arrive at their specific desired outcome. Then the clients are thoroughly educated about the products and companies that fit their specific situation before proceeding.

"As an independent broker/advisor and a Certified Financial Fiduciary®, I am able to provide for my family and make decisions in the best interests of my clients, not some insurance company. From the initial fact finder appointment to finding the best option to transferring funds, I keep things transparent and pressure-free." - Tim
“There is nothing more rewarding to me, than to build a solid financial plan for my client, and then helping them achieve their goals through life’s little ups and downs. I make a point to be available and work side by side helping clients achieve financial security.”

Rick Dennis started Conservative Retirement Solutions, LLC in 2004, after he saw the negative impact the “Dot-Com” stock market crash of 2000-2002 had on the retirement savings plans of his fellow Baby Boomers. His goal in starting the company was to offer a safer financial alternative to people who were saving for their retirement, and this remains his main priority today.
Conservative Retirement Solutions, LLC is located in Houston, Texas, and caters exclusively to clients who want "safe, secure and guaranteed" retirements. Our clients a) don't want to risk losing any of their retirement money by placing it in the stock market, and b) don’t want to risk the possibility of “outliving their money.”
We help our clients achieve these results of “no stock market losses” and “guaranteed lifetime income” by only using “safe money” financial products that are “contractually guaranteed” to never lose money during market declines and are issued by “legal reserve” life insurance companies.
Below is a partial list of guaranteed retirement solutions available for our clients:
• Retirement account growth without the risk of loss

The Picture You’re Painting:It’s about what YOU want
Seek first to understand, then to be understoodis a great quote from author Stephen Covey.However, many in the financial world have it backwards.Too often advisors seek first to be understood (sell their product).This “sale” becomes the focus and the goal.As a result, they often fail to take the time to understand who you are, your retirement goals, dreams and concerns about current or future economic conditions.As a result, then may not allow you the time to “Paint Your Picture”.Some seem to forget that retirement is one of the biggest transitional times in your life and therefore the development of a solid plan should not be rushed into.It should take time to develop over several meetings.
Bryan Rich has been serving clients for over 30 years.He strives to teach a balanced approach to retirement while highlighting both the positives and negatives of options available.He began his financial services career in 1992 upo graduating with honors with a Business Finance degree from Liberty University. After working for over a decade for a national financial planning company he decided to pursue his own career.As part of that decision, in 2005, he assisted experienced insurance and investment professionals from Roanoke, VA. and established Secure Financial Group, Inc. Later opening an office in Cary, NC. Since its founding Mr. Rich became the face of Secure Financial after speaking to thousands of “50 and Uppers” throughout Virginia and North Carolina in presentations and educational workshops. Now, as President of SFG since 2008, he has continued to develop strategic relationships with attorneys, CPA’s and other experienced professionals in order to provide a holistic approach to financial and estate planning. These NETWORK Partners share in SFG’s desire to fully inform and educate each and every prospective client.
Bryan is proudly an independent advisor when it comes to meeting the insurance and lifetime income needs of his clients.In 2007 Bryan passed his Series 65 Exam and is currently an Investment Advisor Representative for Brookstone Capital Management www.brookstonecm.com.When dealing with the risk portion of your portfolio, along with BCM Bryan provides fiduciary advice.This helps promote a balanced approach to retirement…it is not one-size fits all. Risk options provide more upside potential, while protected options offer peace of mind. Your best interest is always the primary objective...matching your goals with the math.
PEOPLE FIRST, MONEY SECOND is not just a motto; it is the way SFG chooses to do business by taking the time to get to know you and the “Picture You’re Painting” for this stage of life before we ever start talking about the “products”. The “products” are important, but they are simply the tools.How do we know what tools to use until we know what you want to build?
Let’s dream a little first.Then, once your goals for retirement are understood we help you implement the ABC PLANNING PROCESS. This process is designed for the Conservative & Moderate Investor who doesn’t want to simply leave retirement to “I HOPE IT WORKS” -- or “IT SHOULD WORK” – well, as long as the stock market does what I want it to do.Risk investments certainly have their place and are a major part of the ABC PLANNING PROCESS. But, first we must ensure our Liquidity and Income needs, then chase risk for greater return potential.So, the key question is not, “What kind of returns might I get?”Nor is the question, “Can I afford to retire now?” No, the key question should be:“Am I in a position to retire and most importantly…STAY RETIRED?”All with a level of risk that if the market has a major decline you can step back and say, “I’m still okay”.
