Christopher M. Brown, CFP^®
Managing Partner and President, Houston Asset Management

How have you tailored your profession as a financial planner to fit your personal agenda?

“I take a little bit different strategy when meeting my clients. Many clients find our office intimidating, as well as, the drive for many of our clients is difficult. This year, I’ve made a big effort to go to the client’s house and sit around their kitchen table and kinda go back old school. I also leave the suit and tie at the office and I try to be as personable as possible. I’m finding that that investment is developing better long-term relationships and making that money stickier.”
