Native Son Expands Business on Main Street
(released 11/18/2008)
Michael Snedeker was born and raised in Waltham. So when he decided to open his own financial services practice in 2006, his hometown was the obvious - and only - choice.
Says Snedeker: "I love Waltham. I went to Waltham Public Schools and grew up playing ball at Lowell Field. I just knew that when the time came to open my own company, it would be in Waltham."
That time was February 2006.
At the time, Snedeker had been in the financial services industry for twelve years and was feeling the need to do more for his clients. "I always knew that I'd have a career where I'd be in a position to help people. And as a financial advisor, I do that on a daily basis."
Snedeker says he spent a great deal of time thinking about what he would do differently as compared to the larger institutions he had worked for in the past. By his observation, what was missing at those places was personalized service, that human touch that transforms a business transaction into a relationship. So when he formed Watch City Financial Group, he knew that he had to make personalized service more than just a slogan.
"The three most important things in our business are: service, service, service," says Snedeker, drawing the correlation from the real estate industry mantra of "location, location, location."
"At Watch City Financial Group, a team of investment and customer service professionals are dedicated to assisting clients on a daily basis. With a focus on personalized, attentive service, our goal is to become the premier financial advisor to the greater-Waltham community."
Adds Snedeker: "We see it as our obligation to treat each client the same as we would treat a neighbor. Because if our clients don't succeed, neither do we."
Watch City Financial Group, located at 967 Main Street, recently expanded its offices to include the space at 965 Main Street, formerly the offices of Gerald M. Curtin Real Estate.
