At Christman Financial Advisors LLC my mission is to help clients "ACHIEVE UNCOMMON FREEDOM". The purpose is to help build, manage, preserve and protect your wealth for generations no matter what stage your in or at. Clients of Christman Financial Advisors understand that by coordinating and managing today’s financial decisions they can achieve their goals for tomorrow while still enjoying the fruits of their labor today. Clients usually have no desire to manage their financial affairs on a daily basis, want to simplify their lives, and are willing to delegate that responsibility as well as enter into a long-term relationship. They know they can sleep at night knowing that I am looking out for their well being. They want to work with a professional advisor, not a sales representative. At Christman Financial Advisors, I believe people should seek to partner in their financial lives with a professional financial planner who is their guide, not their guru, who delivers discipline over promises of great investment returns, and who is an advocate for them and coordinates that advocacy with the other professionals in their lives. There are several areas that I help families and individuals when it comes to Financial Planning and Wealth Management. 1. Solid investment performance. While I cannot control the actual return you achieve on your investments my philosophy is to invest in vehicles that I know and understand and that will allow you to sleep comfortably at night. I look to diversify your investments and stress capital preservation and maintaining quality of life, not performance. 2. Control and Simplicity. My goal is to simplify your investments and personal finances and take over the burden of the daily management of those investments so that you have more control over that aspect of life. 3. Appropriate products and strategies. I help you choose the right investments and strategies (along with your other Advisors) that match your volatility (risk) tolerance and your unique situation. As a fee only Advisor I do not receive any commission from the sale of any individual product. I recommend what is in YOUR best interests. 4. Help in planning or maintaining a secure retirement and getting their financial house in order. 5. Helping you avoid mistakes. Many investors lose money because they invest at the peak and pull their money out in the troughs. I will act as your guide. A professional that you can call and talk to before making a decision.

I'm a real estate investor and coach-at-heart with first-hand experience in landlording, property management, and adding value through late night renovations and elbow grease. It can be hard for real estate investors to find a financial advisor that's not pitching them on another insurance product or trying to persuade them to sell their properties and put the proceeds into securities the advisor can manage. I founded REWealth to be different: to bring real financial planning and conflict-free advice to those who hold or aspire to hold real estate directly. I've spent over ten years combined in finance, technology, and real estate. Before that, I was an elementary school teacher. In each role, the bar was held high to achieve excellence for clients, partners, and students. REWealth holds itself, and I hold myself, to the same high standards of execution and integrity. I'll add that while REWealth is open to servicing people from all backgrounds, my family and I are Christians and are members in good standing at our local church.
