“It gives me great pleasure to write about Gaston Lord and Safeguard Insurance &Financial Services. When I decided to buy insurance for myself and family, I interviewed many people before I decided Gaston was the right choice. At the time Gaston was working for another company before he started his own. I found Gaston to be patient, very pleasant and answered all my questions thoroughly. He always took the time to call me back and visit me regularly or when I needed to see him. He is not like other agents who visits you once a year and tells you the market has gone down for everyone. The best thing is he treats my account like his account. He will call me and tell me, I suggest we reevaluate your account, the market is sliding, and he parks the money in a safer investment, until its time reach our goals again. That is tailored made investments to me. Gaston is like a great neighbour, he looks after your house when you’re not looking. Thanks for everything Gaston!”

As a long-time client of Gaston’s, he has provided options on a number of products, simplified complicated processes and explained documentation in an easy to understand format for my investment and insurance packages. He made himself available to answer any questions I had. And was always happy to meet and advise on investment choices, portfolio updating and review of my policies on a regular basis.

Gaston’s advice driven client first approach and knowledge really helped our decision-making process easy and understandable. We felt great peace of mind knowing my new born daughter had a tailored life insurance policy that would give back to her in future and protect her for years to come. Gaston was even able to offer me solutions for life insurance even know I had medical issues in the pass the left me declined by insures in the market.
