Freehold, NJ (PRWEB) December 06, 2012

Americas Retirement Planning Partners announced today that Zia Shaikh was named a recipient of the 2013 New Jersey Five Star Wealth Manager award for the 2nd time in a row. Award winners appear in a special section in the January 2013 issue of NJ Monthly magazine.

It is an honor and a privilege to be recognized for this prestigious award for the second time” he commented when notified of this accomplishment . As the senior financial strategist at Americas Retirement Planning Partners he intently listens to the real meaning of his clients investment, tax and estate planning needs; it is only then a highly personalized recommendation is made rather a “canned response” said Zia Shaikh who is also the President and Founder of this Independent Registered Investment Advisory firm.

Five Star Professional partnered with NJ Monthly magazine to find wealth managers who satisfy 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients. Fewer than two percent of the 45,400 wealth managers in the New Jersey area were selected.

This level of excellence is only achieved by fewer than 2 percent of the wealth managers in the area. Award candidates were identified by one of three sources: firm nomination, peer nomination or pre-qualification. Five Star Professional relied on internal and external research data, including a survey to more than 13,300 registered financial services professionals and all identified financial service companies in the New Jersey area that are registered with FINRA or the SEC. Survey recipients were asked to nominate wealth managers they felt were worthy of consideration for the Five Star Wealth Manager award. The selection process involves a rigorous research process that included a regulatory and consumer complaint review and an evaluation of objective criteria associated with wealth managers who provide quality services to their clients.

Now Best Time To Buy Palm Desert Real Estate, Savvy Baby Boomers Seize Opportunity!

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012


Palm Desert, California (PRWEB) October 16, 2012

Brad Schmett, Broker Associate with Luxury Homes by Keller Williams and real estate expert, has announced today that savvy baby boomers are continuing to buy real estate in Palm Desert and the greater Palm Springs, CA area at a record pace. Favorable economic factors, including historically low mortgage interest rates and 10-year low real estate prices, have combined to make now the best time to buy real estate in Palm Desert and the surrounding desert cities.

Brad Schmett, an expert in Palm Desert, CA real estate, helps buyers find the ideal property to accommodate a particular lifestyle while maximizing their real estate investment. Brad and his team are also experts at helping sellers strategically position their property for sale.

According to Schmett, A unique blending of economic and local real estate market conditions has created a near perfect storm-like scenario that has set the stage for an incredible residential real estate buying opportunity in Palm Desert and the surrounding desert cities. And baby boomers, from both the U.S and Canada, are taking advantage of what many consider to be a once in a lifetime buying opportunity.

Brad Schmett, a broker with over 25 years of business experience, has acquired a keen understanding of the needs and concerns of his clients, in particular his baby boomer clientele. About two-thirds of my overall client base falls into the baby boomer category. If theyre already full-time residents, the trend I see is for them to downsize from larger homes. They want to slow down a bit and enjoy the unique desert lifestyle and all the attractions it has to offer.

Schmett says, With my seasonal and snowbird baby boomer clients, the trend is for them to sell their large, primary residences, move into a smaller property or condominium at home, and then buy a second home here in the Palm Desert area. They want to slow down and enjoy life more as well and they see Palm Desert as a great place to retreat to with family and friends, especially during the blustery, cold winter season.” Schmett adds, “My clients’ price ranges vary depending on their specific purchase criteria, but can range from the $ 200,000s up to multi-million dollar purchases at exclusive Bighorn Golf Club.

The lowest real estate prices in over a decade, coupled with an attractive inventory level of Palm Desert homes for sale, has given buyers more options than ever before in the greater Palm Springs, California real estate market. Schmett urges, we may never see the likes of this type of buying opportunity in our lifetimes again. Now is definitely an incredible time to buy Palm Desert real estate.
