Raymond James Bickerseth, Brown & Associates
As financial advisors based in the Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix area as well as Fort Myers, Florida, our mission is to listen to our client’s personal situation, past experiences, and most importantly, THEIR goals for the rest of their life. Next, we draw on our 45 years of experience and creativity to provide clients with suggestions and strategies to formulate a financial plan designed to achieve their objectives. Through Raymond James we have access to a wide array of quality investments and the latest information and specialists to customize an investment plan for them.
We strive to present information in a straightforward, understandable manner so that our clients can determine the most appropriate options available for their portfolios. Our assistants, Kathy Elya, Maureen Owens and ourselves try to service our clients needs so that they don’t have to worry about how to get something done concerning their accounts with us and their finances. We work to keep things simple for our clients and to keep their accounts consolidated as much as possible to minimize any excess paperwork. We continually consider changes in both the marketplace and in our clients’ needs, making necessary adjustments to help them. Our team looks forward to providing value added financial service to you and your family.
Our Professionals bring to the table vast experience to draw from when advising our clients. We have two offices to service our client base.
The main office is in downtown Charlevoix on 203 Mason Street. Additionally, we have a satellite office in the central business district of downtown Petoskey located on 434 E. Lake Street.
