“In this business, it’s all about trust. When you’re looking for an advisor, you have to find someone you can trust. We are here to be your trusted advisor,” said Seth Gilbert of COUNTRY Financial®.

 

Seth Gilbert and Luke Stromquist are Financial Advisors with COUNTRY Financial® and serve all of Northern Colorado. They share an office in Fort Collins in the Landings office buildings complex on Horsetooth Road.

 

Together, they help more than 1,300 households by providing sound financial and insurance products. “We’re active members of the community and we see our clients more than just once a year behind the desk,” said Luke. “We are long-term holistic advisors. We’ve built relationships with our clients, and they trust us. They also refer their friends and families to us which must speak to the level of trust they’ve placed in us.”

 

The start of a new year is the perfect time to schedule a free consultation with Seth and Luke. “The new year is a fresh start,” said Seth. “We can strategize ways to maximize your financial portfolio and ensure that you’re properly covered with insurance.”  

 

“As a new administration takes over the government, there are many unknowns and fears about the future,” Luke added. “We don’t have a crystal ball, but we are here to be your financial partners and help you prepare as best as you can for the future.”

 

Seth and Luke are both Colorado natives and are proud to have stuck close to their roots. Luke grew up on a family farm in Longmont where he learned the value of good, honest work from a young age. He started his career in banking but soon found that he preferred to work directly with clients. He has been with COUNTRY Financial® since 2008. He earned his MBA from Regis University in Denver in 2013.

 

Seth started his career in mortgage lending, but when the housing market collapsed in 2008, he saw a need to help people protect their assets in the event of another downturn. Seth turned to financial planning and insurance. He’s been with COUNTRY Financial® since 2009. Seth earned his Retirement Income Certified Professional designation shortly after.

 

COUNTRY Financial® was founded by a group of farmers in 1925. Today, the company has a huge network of thousands of advisors who offer insurance, financial security products, and financial services across the US. Seth and Luke love the ethics and values of the company and have proudly worked for the company for more than a decade.

 

“I’m convinced there isn’t another better company than COUNTRY®,” said Luke. “Not only do we offer incredible products for our clients, but everyone cares. We have the backing of a huge, solvent company but it also has deep knowledge and experience. If we have a question, we have someone to help us. We have people to brainstorm with.”

 

“That’s what makes us different from independent brokers,” added Seth. “We have a team. When you work with us, you get everyone. You get more care and customer service. You get what you need. For each facet of our business, we have a specialized team behind us. That adds so much value for our clients.”

 

Their service goes beyond financial planning, which is another thing that makes them unique. “We also have a full line of insurance products,” said Luke. “We help you grow your assets and protect them. It’s rare to have both under one roof but it’s such a benefit to our clients because they know they’re getting everything they need.”

 

Seth and Luke are able to provide top-notch service thanks to the help of their assistants, Lola Kern and Angela McQuillan. “They’re wonderful. We’re lucky to have them but so are our clients. They take care of all of us.”

 

They’re not the kind of staunch advisors who stay in the office. Seth and Luke are incredibly engaged in the community and with their clients.  Luke co-founded a nonprofit entitled Dads’ Liquid Therapy that encourages connection and raising money for charity. Seth is a passionate supporter of Respite Care and regularly plays soccer.

 

Luke has a 13-year-old son and loves to spend time with him. Luke is also recently engaged to Kristin and planning a summer wedding. Seth has four kids and spends as much time as he can with them. They love to ski and spend time in the mountains.

 

“If you’re watching the news and feeling anxious about the future, please give us a call. We’ll give you sound advice and help you protect your future,” said Seth.
