“My friend recommended Ben Brooks for financial planning many years ago. The dynamic duo of Ben Brooks and Cindy Kasner, have been more like family to me than just advisers. They have helped me steer a course toward financial security and walked me through each step of the process, whether planning for retirement or buying a new home. They are consummate professionals who are 2 of the most caring and compassionate individuals I have ever worked with. I would recommend Ben and Cindy to anyone needing investment advice.”
“3-years ago I left a 5-star review on Darryl Banks, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones. My family (wife and children) have been with Darryl and his team for over 6-years. Within that 6-years, we have worked on the roadmap that was set out from our initial transfer. It has been modified to include Life Insurance and diversification of our portfolios.
The 6-years have seen markets increase and decrease; however, the plan that Darryl has set forth is improving the confidence level that our path is improving towards the ability to retire.
He and his team listen and offer guidance as life and priorities change. I appreciate their honesty and support. They tailor a plan to your needs and I highly recommend anyone speaking with Darryl and the rest of his team.”
“I've been using the PNC Bank branch in Wakefield fairly often, as the branch in Wake Forest closed a few years back. It is located in the Wakefield Commons shopping center.
The branch has an outside ATM, drive-thru, and the lobby is also open during the week.
The employees have been friendly the times I have needed to go inside to complete transactions. The ATM is normally more convenient for me, since this location isn't near me and hard to get to when open. The ATM thankfully can handle most transactions, including deposits of cash or checks. For withdrawals, it even has a bill select. if you would like a variety of denominations.”

“I've been with Merrill and the Edwin Braswell team for nearly 15 years and they've always been super professional, helpful and above all kind. The market has its ups and downs and over the years Edwin's team has always gone out of their way to look out for me and my family's financial best interests. Edwin consistently communicates and keeps me updated during the good and challenging times--and my portfolio has done great! I appreciate his genuine honesty and diligence for his clients. I give him my highest recommendation.”
“Nicole and Amanda were beyond helpful in getting me a no fee international credit card and foreign money for my upcoming trip. I am very grateful to them both. Thank you ladies!”
“Sooo good to see a bank still handling cash transactions! The PNC in wake forest is a cashless bank. This one here was great! Helped me with my issue and got me on my way. They were very welcoming, pleasant and professional! Thanks PNC team!”

“Thank you for finally hiring some great people. I literally stopped going into this branch(6 forks) because of some of the rude staff. I see their gone and the place is amazing now. I needed to order some euros for travel. The teller was so sweet and helpful. Friendly smiles, great service. Awesome PNC Branch!”
“Gray Pendleton at Pendleton Financial was absolutely fantastic in helping ease my anxiety around retirement planning. He provided clear, practical tools I can start using now to maximize my savings for the future. I truly appreciated his thoughtful, low-pressure approach—he’s definitely not one of those fast-talking financial advisors.
Our complimentary call even ran over the scheduled time, yet he never seemed rushed. Gray took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and walked me through realistic, personalized solutions. He then followed up with a detailed email summarizing everything we discussed, which was incredibly helpful.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable guidance with their financial planning.”
