OMG! I put in my request for a consultation and received three replies within a few minutes, that was to be expected.... what I noticed next was my email inbox being spammed to high heaven with junk mail. as the Ramsey program was the only thing I'd shared my emailed with, and agreed to their terms of service, I deducted that they must in turn sell email retrieval lists to partners of theirs. now I'be been blocking inbound emails ever since my request. I will not follow through with the service because if this is what happens before they know my financial situation I can't image what they'd do after having that info. I'll be using another financial advisor service for sure.

Cliff was extremely helpful through the transition of my 401(k) to an IRA. I was a bit cautious about trying someone new to trust with my hard-earned $$, yet he has invested my funds well and delivered an impressive return. He's very knowledgeable and responds in a timely manner whether it's a phone call, email, text, and makes time to visit you at your home, if you prefer. I would recommend him for anyone looking for financial advice or investing for their future.

The Downie Financial Group is very professional and responsive. They are concerned about meeting the needs of each of their clients and never pressure you to conform to a predetermined plan. They are very knowledgeable about the industry and the market and ensure that their clients are educated and understand their investments. It has been a pleasure working with them over the years.

Cliff Downie is very through and patient. He teaches and he listens. He is very proactive and responds quickly and does what he says he will do. Cliff Downie is very honest and trustworthy in our opinion. Thanks Cliff.

Cliff was extremely helpful and professional. I wanted to discuss retirement plans and obtain additional financial advisement, and he was able to lead me in the right direction in a thorough manner and very quickly - Just within the initial consultation, I was able to learn so much. His services are backed by Dave Ramsey, which is great, because he is well-known and has also been able to help many overcome financial crisis. Highly recommend booking a call with Cliff!

Cliff was a great help to my wife and I advising us on our retirement and overall investment strategy. We are Dave Ramsey FPU followers and he advises according to those principles. He is a teacher, not a salesman. He made the paperwork easy for us. He helped us setup 2 ROTH IRA and 3 529 Plans for our kids. The review below me seems like there is more to the story. Cliff was on point in keeping contact with us.

Cliff is VERY helpful! My husband and I have been working with him for a few years now, after finding him through Dave Ramsey's Smart Vester Pro program. We don't have a huge retirement amount (yet), but it hasn't effected how helpful Cliff is. He has answered all questions we have had and steered us in a great direction. He is also great at following up with us when action needs to be taken. Highly recommend Cliff!

Met Cliff through the Dave Ramsey's Smartvestor Pros. Cliff was very professional and knowledgeable. I felt at ease while discussing my financial status with him. Cliff was good about explaining a few terms and the difference between them. Cliff answered all my questions directly and gave me advice on my financial plan for the future. Cliff's fees are pretty much in line with the Industry and felt that his fees were fair. Cliff explained a couple (fee structure) options for clients who are completely a hands-on investor, who just need advice sporadically or clients who take a passive approach and want someone else to do their investing for them. Either way, Cliff is your guy! If you need a financial advisor or someone to bounce ideas off, seek out Cliff Downie.

My husband and I met with Cliff Downie in March 2019. I've always been skeptical about using a financial advisor, not knowing who to trust. I've been listening to Dave Ramsey for some years now. After listening to Dave Ramsey, I had full trust in choosing a Smart Vestor Pro, someone that he endorsed. Cliff came to our home and we had a good meeting. After, he emailed me thanking us for choosing him to help us reach our retirement/financial goals. In his email, he stated we will receive emails from him within the next couple days with links to different programs that help him putting everything together as far as our IRA's/401K. Here we are, 9 months later, and we never heard back from Cliff. We are so disappointed that he did not follow through on the game plan he promised us. We had high hopes that Cliff would be able to adequately assist us in our financial journey; however, we were wrong and now need to find another financial advisor who can follow through and keep their word.
