I'm very happy with Carlo Cortez. I have always gain money since I been with his company. This year was the best year yet. Where I can go on a nice vacation with my husband and granddaughter. I give him 5 stars and trust his judgement on investing for me.

I have known Carlos for over 10 years. Hes a man of his word and is very knowledgeable in his industry. He is not looking out for a quick payout but a long professional relationship with his clients. Most importantly, he a man of faith!

I'm not one who writes reviews, but I am now. With the state of our government and world this year I have been worried about my retirement money in the market being I'm close to retirement. I decided to transfer out of my big box store bank and go with "America first" Carlos Cortez. I have been blown away with how quick he returns texts emails and phone calls (usually on the first ring) It is SO refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cares about his clients. I can detect when someone is not who they profess to be, but with Carlos I can tell he is exactly who he says he is....A Christian

I was introduced to Cortez Wealth Management through a radio station. While I did not have any concerns with where my retirement portfolio was held, with the changing tide of this year, I had become concerned and I finally decided to take a big step and reinvest it elsewhere, in came Cortez Wealth Management. Carlos listened to my concerns and made suggestions on where best to place my retirement investment. Carlos and the Cortez Wealth Management team are very professional, kept me abreast every step of the transfer process, and were available to answer any questions or concerns in a timely manner

Cortez Wealth Management does fantastic work to ensure that one as a client is taken cafe of. Their customer service is top notch with attention to detail, listening to ones wants, needs, and ideas. I have been impressed from the moment I engaged their services, and have continued to be impressed with my return on investments. As such, every chance I get, I recommend and refer friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances to Cortez Wealth Management, and they have all been impressed and have gotten more than excellent customer service. As myself, they too have all been wonderfully satisfied

I met Carlos Cortez a bit more than one year ago at a seminar regarding retirement and Social Security benefits. It was very informative, I learned a lot, I was impressed and set an appointment with him for a financial review of my situation. After that review I had Cortez Wealth Management handle my investments and retirement funds. I have had great results, in spite of the challenges our country has faced with Covid-19. Carlos is very responsive in communicating with me, respectful of my time and has been providing excellent financial results for me.
