Movement was created to be different. Founded in 2008, amidst one of the biggest financial meltdowns in American history, Movement set forth on a mission to create a Movement of Change in our industry, in corporate cultures and in communities. First, we pioneered a unique approach to home loans centered around helping homeowners, quickly and easily. Then, we created a model so that our profit creates a long-term positive impact in communities both close to home and around the globe. For our borrowers, we commit to building relationships based on communication. Retirement planning is quite frankly frustrating and a bit scary. It takes a whole different set of skills as compared to when you bought or refinanced your home in your younger years. The huge amount of wealth held in homes owned by people over 62 can completely change — for the better– your whole retirement landscape—from social security and investment planning to long term care plans. Our trained Retirement Mortgage Professionals can help you make the right decisions in the 4th quarter of home ownership. It all comes back to our mission, to love and value people in everything we do– from your first home to the last one!

At Strazzeri Mancini, we observe a troublesome trend encountered by affluent families who wish to plan. Traditional planning can inadvertently narrow planning conversations too quickly. It’s a slippery slope in which the formulation of the problem – the power of the questioning phase – has become a lost art. The result is that the client winds up with a solution that doesn’t actually solve their full and true problem, or a solution that Band-Aids a symptom. In both scenarios, the problem will present again in the future. That’s why we developed a model called Care to Know™. Care to Know Planning helps affluent families get to the heart of highly relevant matters and resolve messes in the areas of integrated tax and estate planning, business succession, and family governance counseling.
