Self-Directed IRA Reviews

I recently moved my Self-Directed IRA from a firm in Kentucky to Madison Trust. Talk about night and day! It was easy to set up my account and the process of transferring funds from Kentucky was easy. After the funds were received, I wanted to make two quick investments in real estate partnerships. At the old firm, I think it would have taken 2-3 weeks. It was all accomplished at Madison Trust in 2-3 days! Jennifer L was a great help as were all members of the team.

I called a few different companies to chat about a SDIRA. After getting nowhere with any of them, I found Madison Trust Company. Ian Robertson has been fantastic. He patiently answers all of my questions, he picks up the phone when I call, and most of all, he's proactive in my account management. I had a tight timeline for a real estate investment and he's stayed on top of the process the entire time. I haven't seen this level of customer service in a long time. Thank you Ian!

Madison Trust is a great company to work with if you are considering a Self-Directed IRA. The staff is very professional and always friendly and helpful. They explain all details necessary to get you started. So if you are looking to diversify and perhaps purchase real estate via your IRA, Madison is the place to start. Ask for Emily M. to get all your questions answered.
