Would give 6 stars if possible for the professional service I received from Kiara.She went above and beyond my expectations. Great to know that there still are businesses out there that still pride themselves on customer service.

It has been a complete pleasure to deal with Kiara on several occasions opening new annuities. She has a wonderful personality and most importantly has my best interests in mind. She makes sound and knowledgeable investments.

My experience working with My Annuity Store was always very positive. I was able to reach my representative easily and consistently. She was always able to answer my questions and provided clear direction on every step of the process. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend My Annuity Store to anyone who may be considering an annuity.

Great experience! Excellent customer service!

I would highly recommend My Annuity Store and Kiara for your annuity investment needs. They are very helpful and knowledgeable.

These guys are awesome. As l was buying my annuity rates were going up so I cancelled 2 annuities Kiara had already completed and submitted applications for and bought a third annuity at a higher rate. They were more than happy to do whatever I wanted and always put my needs first. I highly recommend them.

I worked with Jason and Kiara setting up an annuity. They went over and above expectations. They got me the best deal and were very fast getting all the papers in order via 2 day ups. I will be working with them in the near future. Exellent service! Like
