Testimonials

“I truly appreciate the ease in which I was able to move my 401(k) funds over to Mainstar without any issues. Mainstar remained in constant communication with my financial planners and was able to articulate what steps needed to be taken in order to get the transaction to go through smoothly.” - Laura
“I started with Mainstar in 2014 and have done 32 transactions with them. They are a resource when you want to invest your IRA funds outside the normal investment channels, such as real estate. The folks I work with are professional, responsive, and just easy to work with. It’s always a delight and I appreciate it every time.” - Bob
“Working with Mainstar has been great! They’ve been very responsive throughout the process of onboarding our client. I would highly suggest using them as a Self Directed IRA company.” - Tyler
“I have a self directed IRA with a different company and since opening a new account with Mainstar, I am shocked with the difference! Mainstar has great client service, and the ability to actually speak to a human is a huge differentiator. Please keep up the good work!” - Whitney
“Mainstar is far and above any similar service available. They were able to solve issues that others had been “looking into”, or just ignoring, for years. Their guidance was simple, their effort untiring, and results far exceeded expectations.” - Larry
“My contacts with Mainstar employees have always been top notch. They are very service-oriented and have repeatedly gone the extra mile to meet my needs. I am very satisfied with Mainstar’s service and would highly recommend them to others!” - Ron
“I had to open an IRA account to house new private placement shares, as well as have some of the same shares transferred to another firm. A pretty complicated process! Every employee at Mainstar was polite, friendly, and very helpful. I’m very pleased with my decision to start this relationship with Mainstar. Keep up the great work!” - Daniel
“In my 49 years of providing Financial & Business Planning, I understand what an efficient and successful Trust Administrator should do to win and keep a planner's business. Comparing my experience with 9 other Trust Administrator competitors during these last four decades, I can tell you that my and my client's experience with Mainstar Trust is by far a hands-down winner. From their wonderful staff to their user-friendly website, these are just a few things that keep me and my clients happy customers.” - Burdette
