Testimonials

"Having a team of Advisors like Tracy and Sean gives my family and I a great deal of peace. After each meeting with them, we feel better and better about our decision to work with their team. They share a similar approach, but both have traits that make them unique in the way they approach situations. After years of feeling confused about if I was investing the right way, investing enough and what it all was going to mean for me one day, I now have the financial confidence I’ve always wanted. I cannot recommend this dynamic duo enough! If you’re considering hiring a pro, hire these pros."

"Sean Tyll is my most trusted advisor. I recently became the sole caregiver for my father who is blind and has dementia. As the agent under his Power of Attorney I tried to manage my dad’s finances and accounts but was overwhelmed by his disorganization and lack of recordkeeping brought on by his declining health. I contacted Sean and he talked to me right away and set up a meeting. I gave Sean all the records that I had and within a day or two he researched the accounts and made the necessary phone calls so that we had a complete picture of my dad’s portfolio. Sean then presented recommendations for a financial plan that was customized to my dad’s resources and needs. I know that Sean put in a lot of time and effort to get my dad’s accounts in order, and I am very thankful. Sean has a skill set which allows him to assess my father’s situation and implement a plan that will protect and preserve my dad’s assets. Sean is always accessible and routinely checks in on me and my dad to give us status updates. My husband and I were so impressed with Sean’s handling of my dad’s accounts, we moved our accounts to LPL also. We feel like Sean and LPL are part of the family now and we wouldn’t make a financial move without consulting Sean first."

You made the move easy and your willingness to get on the phone with me and talk me through some of the conversations gave me great peace of mind. It’s good to work with someone who can make what seems to be complex, simple!!"

"Tracy Applewhite has multiple characteristics that make her our trusted financial advisor. To me perhaps the most important of her characteristics is empathy. This sets her apart. Tracy has been our trusted advisor for years. She understands our goals and feelings which provides a level of comfort that is incredibly important to us. Over the years she has always taken the time to ask probing questions and has considered the unique steps for us that will help us to make progress. We have a personal relationship with Tracy. She has kept us on track to meet our financial goals and has our best interest at heart. She manages our portfolio in accordance with our goals and invests in her education. This has been incredibly important through the years. In these times of market volatility, Tracy has been a steady voice of reason, helping us to avoid emotional decisions that could lead to costly mistakes. There is comfort in knowing we have a trusted advisor in Tracy Applewhite."

"We first became clients of Tracy Applewhite about ten years ago when she was associated with Wells Fargo Advisors. As we were nearing retirement, Tracy assisted us in rolling over our company/personal 401K plans to Wells Fargo, and she developed a long-term investment plan for us. Additionally, she was able to successfully facilitate the rollover of a 401K plan that required the correction of faulty customer information. When Tracy and Sean Tyll established their independent investment firm Applewhite Tyll, associated with LPL Financial, we readily joined them. Since that time she has regularly reviewed our investment strategies with us, updating the plan as necessary and answering any questions or concerns we had. She researched and facilitated the conversion of a life insurance policy into a long-term care policy for us. Tracy has consistently acted as our advocate with our best interests at the forefront. Upon our recommendation, several of our friends and a family member have become Tracy’s clients."
