Some Kind Words

  • Maria V. G. Feb 2020
    In the summer of 2018, my world came crashing down unexpectedly. I became a divorced, young professional scared for her financial future and uncertain of being able to make it on her own. Not knowing what to do, I called Flavio and Violetta. For the first time, my investment and insurance accounts were thoroughly analyzed and suggestions were made as to how I can improve my contributions and further protect myself for the future. Not to mention, each and every term used was clearly explained so that I understood and followed along correctly (the world of finance is definitely not my forte). I was completely blown away. Never had I been offered this kind of help (even when requested) with a banking institution and they both made me realize I was going to be more than just okay. Flash forward one year later and with their help and guidance, I was able to qualify for a mortgage and buy my own new, little townhouse. A brand new start at life. Not a day goes by I don't think of the Vanis and how thankful I am to have them in my life. It goes without saying that I'd recommend Flavio and Violetta to my family and friends !

    Thanks to APFV inc, I have complete peace of mind when it comes to my financial health and my future. I know I can trust you blindly and I feel very well supported whenever I have questions or specific goals. Violetta and Flavio are relentless in providing a high quality and top of the line customer service and has made it very easy for me to select the right insurance plan for my needs as a young autonomous worker. It’s very reassuring and comforting to know I am in the best of hands. The greatest benefit derived from the use of APFV services is simply said, I am saving energy, reducing stress, and saving money (as well as making money!). You offer excellent value and are helping me hope for the best, while preparing for impact if anything were to happen. I would without a doubt recommend their services! Thank you for all that you do!

    The services provided by APFV have improved our life a great deal by supplying us with a life insurance policy, investments, and real time financial advice. My wife and I have invested short and long term with APFV which allows for emergencies as well as achieving our life goals. Flavio and Violetta are not only friendly and welcoming, they are also incredibly knowledgeable and forthcoming. I would recommend them to all who are seeking any type of honest and educated advice. I have even transferred some investments from major banks over to them due to their expertise and reliability.
