Simple stuff that matters. Keep it straightforward. The good ones ask questions.

Ask people you trust. Some work at credit unions. Not all are good.

These can be good. No big company pushing products. Don't pick the first one.

Ask how they get paid. You want someone who fits your needs. Good ones stay in touch.

You should understand them. Ask how long they've been working. The best ones don't pressure you.

If they promise big things. Watch out if they are unclear about money. They should help you.

Find someone else. Good advice is simple. Take your time.

They can't help if they don't know. Good ones explain. Check in when learn the difference you need to.

But it's your money. Tell them if something new happens. Good advice grows with you.

Start simple. That's what matters. Check options|The right one is out there|You'll find them}.

Start with small questions. Not more stressed. No magic needed.
