About

Safe Harbor Wealth Advisors provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), as well as trusts, pension/profit-sharing plans, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm manages roughly $165 million across several hundred client accounts and offers portfolio management primarily through a co-advisor relationship with a third‑party manager, plus fixed-fee financial planning and consulting.

The firm’s investment approach centers on selecting and monitoring third‑party model portfolios rather than choosing individual securities, exercising discretion to place clients into Gradient Investments’ model strategies while documenting client goals and risk tolerances. When performing securities evaluations as part of planning, Safe Harbor may use fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and delivers written financial plans within the timelines described in its brochure.

Distinctive aspects include the firm leadership’s active insurance business: the managing member operates affiliated insurance companies and derives a meaningful portion of personal revenue from insurance commissions, and also maintains a small Medicare‑supplement business. Safe Harbor also has ownership and fee‑sharing arrangements with its third‑party manager (including an incentive participation schedule and minority‑ownership links through affiliated entities); the brochure discloses these relationships and the firm states they are managed through disclosures and its fiduciary obligations.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
