Turner Moore –
As a licensed advisor for over 25 years I found Smart Asset to be a misleading waste of time for investors seeking guidance, and an expensive scam for advisors seeking new client referrals. Smartasset is doing nothing but generating revenue for itself and provides no worthwhile services to either side of the financial service relationship. Smart Asset does not screen advisors in any apparent way , rather simply charges a fee for “qualified leads.” However the “qualified leads” for which I paid many thousands of dollars over multiple months simply hung up or didn’t return calls or emails. I regret not pursuing a fraud case against Smart Asset at the time but was unable due to a serious family illness. I do not recommend this company.
