Our company founders met and began working together in 2008. With a successful track record in real estate and finance, the two shared a passion for educating and serving their community.
In 2016, they suffered the loss of someone very dear to them. Each having personally witnessed the emotional and financial devastation that comes with losing a loved one, Jay and Stephen discovered their newfound purpose.
They founded Veraz Advisors and Veraz Insurance Solutions to help families plan for the retirement they desire and avoid the pitfalls of an unforeseen tragedy. They are passionate about helping their clients to secure their futures.
