Donn B- Choosing someone to help manage your life savings and plan for retirement is a major decision, and I spent time researching different financial planners before choosing Blue Chip Partners. I’m very glad I did. My positive experience started with the very first phone call. Everyone I have dealt with at Blue Chip has been friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. My first meeting was with Managing Partner Daniel Seder, who was kind, patient, and took the time to understand what I was looking for rather than trying to sell me something. I now work with Financial Advisor Gina DiGirolamo, and I couldn’t be happier. Financial planning can get complicated very quickly, but Gina has a great ability to put things in layman’s terms and explain not just what she recommends, but why. I can ask questions, take my time making decisions, and I have never once felt pressured to invest in something or do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. The support staff deserves recognition as well. Whether it’s scheduling, paperwork, answering questions, or following up, they make everything easy. At this stage of my life, I’m not simply looking for someone to manage investments. I want someone I can trust to help me make good decisions about retirement, how my savings are invested, and eventually how I will use and distribute the money I’ve spent a lifetime accumulating. Gina and the team at Blue Chip Partners have earned that trust. I highly recommend them.

During my working years my mindset was in save mode, putting money aside for my retirement. But once I retired my mindset had to change and there were many questions about IRA conversions, tax implications, Medicare, Social Security and how to change from save mode to retirement living mode. My current financial planner did a great job getting me to retirement but I needed more guidance during retirement. That’s when my search for a new financial planner began. I scheduled interviews with a couple of other money managers but wasn’t comfortable with the plan they put in place for my portfolio. Looking on line a pop-up ad for Blue Chip Partners appeared. I think of it as karma that made me click on the ad and watch the company introduction Dan Seder, Blue Chip’s Managing Partner, had on the Blue Chip website. His introduction enticed me to make a phone call. I explained my situation and my concerns regarding this phase of my life. As I questioned what his company had to offer, he was doing the same thing from the company’s point of view. This conversation gave me confidence this was a good fit for my money’s management. I have been with Blue Chip Partners for one year working with Financial Planners Hayden Kibbey and Mitchell Kahl. From my first appointment with them it’s very evident they have a passion for what they do, helping people manage their money and setting up a plan so their clients can achieve their retirement goals and dreams. They’re familiar with software that I didn’t know existed. With this technology they’re able to show me how different situations impact my portfolio and together we’re able to make decisions based on how it will affect my taxes, the longevity of my portfolio and how best to spend it whether its home improvements or a vacation. There needs to be a lot of trust when you give someone control of the money you worked long and hard for. I have no worries knowing my financial future is in very good hands. I have an excellent team of people watching out for me. I have found the perfect fit!!!

Along with other family members, I recently moved from my past long time wealth management advisor to Blue Chip Partners. As I approached retirement I realized the decisions necessary for my transition into and through retirement were not being met. After interviewing with multiple advisor organizations I decided on Blue Chip Partners for my financial advisor needs. Dan, Mitchell and Hayden walked me through all of my questions and concerns over several meetings and have outlined a detail plan for my future expenses, RMD and tax strategies. Mitchell and Hayden are very knowledgeable advisors and very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The move to Blue Chip Partners was a very good decision.

I and my family were looking for wealth management advisors that could handle the challenges of after retirement investments, IRA’s, RMD’s, tax implications and preservation. We did a lot of looking before meeting with Blue Chip. Dan, Hayden, and Mitchell were great at explaining their strategy and technology. We had a lot of questions and concerns but they patiently made us comfortable and after several meetings we made the move. I couldn’t be happier with Hayden’s responsiveness to my questions and understanding of my goals. He’s always on top of what needs to be done and explaining why which is my greatest relief. It’s also a bonus to know I can contact both Hayden or Mitchell and either can help.

We are very excited to have found Blue Chip! From the introduction call with Dan to the continued updates and meetings w/ Julia - everything has been great. Julia keeps us well informed and provides us with the details we need to make smart, confident decisions. After working w/ Blue Chip for a few months, we decided to have them also manage our taxes and Al has been a pleasure to work with as well.

My wife and I have worked with Blue Chip Partners for several years now and we could not be happier with the partnership. They have been instrumental in helping us build and tax optimize our retirement portfolio and have been with us every step of the way before, during and after retirement. Dan Seder, Cody VanderHagen and Hayden Kibbey are highly knowledgeable and can explain even the most complex financial concepts to us in ways that make those concepts clear and understandable. In addition, they are incredibly honest, respectful and trustworthy; which gives us peace of mind when we think about our financial future. We would recommend Blue Chip partners without hesitation.

I don't write many positive reviews, but Blue Chip Partners earned one. I recently decided to consolidate my investment accounts. For years I had accounts at both Morgan Stanley and LPL. I didn't make the decision lightly and went through a pretty thorough process with both of them, plus four other firms I researched. Daniel Seder and Hayden Kibbey at Blue Chip stood out from the start. They asked thoughtful questions, took the time to understand what mattered to us, and while I'm sure it's part of their process, it genuinely felt personal. I'm still early in my journey with Blue Chip, but the follow-up, communication, and professionalism have been outstanding. That's hard to fake, and it's been miles ahead of what I experienced elsewhere. Very happy with the decision.

I had a wonderful experience talking with the team at Blue Chip Partners. Hayden Kibbey and Gina DiGirolamo were incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, taking the time to answer my questions and point me in the right direction, I left both conversations feeling more informed and confident. Dan Seder was an absolute pleasure to talk to as well, his kindness, patience, and genuine helpfulness made a real difference during an important time for me. It's rare to find a team that combines professionalism with such a personal touch. Highly recommend!

We chose to meet with Blue Chip Partners earlier this year after researching financial advisors that offer comprehensive financial, estate, and tax management plans. We were very impressed with the professionalism, attention to our personal goals, transparency, and flexibility Dan Seder and his team provided. Dan and his team members spent time to listen and to understand our long-term financial goals in great detail before preparing a personalized plan, including various scenarios of timelines and options for us. Dan and Emily reviewed the plans thoroughly with us and answered all our questions. We appreciate the prompt communication and follow up, as well as the great team spirit at Blue Chip Partners. Dan and Emily have been amazing to work with and have gained our respect and trust. We are happy to have found the perfect fit for our long-term retirement plan.

I have been a Blue Chip Partners client since 2008, when Dan Seder was just getting started in the business with Robert Steinberg. Over the past 17 years I have seen the business grow in leaps and bounds, and I'm happy to say the same for my investments. Dan and Emily have done an outstanding job managing my investments and retirement planning. Retired for five years now, I am still receiving the same attention to detail and high level of service. Their thoughtful and structured approach to long term investment strategy coupled with their professionalism and responsiveness is hard to beat. I would highly recommend Blue Chip, Dan and Emily if you are looking for personal service with strong technical foundation.

My wife and I have been clients of BCP for 20+ years, and Dan Seder has been our financial advisor during that entire period, and over the last several years Emily Prater has also been added for additional support. The level of support and advice has been exceptional. Our level of confidence is very high. During the past 20 years, there have been periods of volatility in the financial markets. These challenges were managed with positive outcomes. We’ve seen BCP evolve from a small financial group to a full-service financial organization. The credentials and experience of the BCP staff are most impressive and they continue to attract highly qualified and motivated professionals.

I have been working with Blue Chip for two years now, specifically with Dan Seder and Cody VanderHagen. I was referred to Blue Chip by someone who worked in the industry and knew many financial advisors, so the recommendation came from a savvy source. I am impressed by Blue Chip's investment methodology, they seem very diligent about how my money is managed, and they have a structured approach to reduce tax liability. The fee structure is fair and clear of any hidden charges. I have just started working with them on financial planning and their tool and advice is very comprehensive. Dan and Cody have always been generous with their time and helpful with any questions I may have. Highly recommend Blue Chip!

Dan Seder and his team have managed my accounts for over 10 years. I can’t be happier with the service they have given me. They are always available and responsive to my needs. We meet on a regular basis to go over my accounts. They always keep me in the loop. I feel safe having them manage my accounts especially in this volatile market and the uncertainty. I also appreciate that all this is done on a personal level. I would highly recommend Blue Chip Partners.

What is one of your indulgences/splurges?

Rice Krispie Treats. I can easily polish off an entire batch over the course of one day. My family knows this, and often gives me some variation (traditional, chocolate, peanut butter, etc.) as holiday/birthday gifts.

The Price is Right. In fact, my wife and I attended a live show in LA while she was pregnant with our son. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to “Come on down,” but we were seated in the front row! Drew Carey did an excellent job…but Bob Barker will always be my favorite host.

Many of our clients are successful executives who are burning the candle on both ends. Ironically, our busiest clients always seem to be the individuals who respond the fastest to our requests–something I respect tremendously. In a world where life couldn’t be busier, these clients find ways to 1) communicate promptly and 2) get things done. I’ve made it a point to model our client service around these core concepts.
