Reviews of Red Oak College Planning New Jersey - College Financial Planning New Jersey (Financial Consultant)

Sharon Parker

Mike worked with me to help with college planning in my daughter’s senior year. His advice was on point and really helped to shape our overall approach for selecting the best school for my daughter’s unique situation and exploring ways to maximize financial aid.

We engaged Mike to help us with the college financial aid process early in our twin girl's junior year. We couldn't be more satisfied with the advice he provided us - which helped both to shape our overall approach for school selection and to maximize financial aid for our twins. Further, it significantly cut down the amount of time we spent on the overall process, a big help to two working parents. We're working with Mike again so he can assist us with our youngest child, now entering senior year.

Mike and his staff made our son's financial aid paperwork hassle free! Applying to college is hard enough without having to deal with the financial aid stress. We will continue to use his services for all our children!

Mike has been a huge help with my son's college financial planning. From helping us file our FAFSA form to working on appeals, Mike has been there every step of the way, guiding us with his expertise. My only regret is not starting our college financial planning sooner with Mike.

Mike Velasco is a personable and caring financial professional who understands the needs of his clients. Upon realization of the high college education costs, I was very uneasy with how to approach the process. He has helped me to establish a plan to finance all three of my children’s college education costs without being dependent on high interest loans. Additionally, Mike's insight has enabled me to receive financial aid that I otherwise would not have received, far exceeding any investment for his services. I highly recommend Mike Velasco and the Red Oak College Planning team!

We engaged Mike prior to our older child beginning college. He has helped us tremendously in establishing a plan to fund college for our kids, particularly during a time when I was facing challenges resulting from my job relocating. The strategy we implemented with Mike's guidance has been the instrumental component of our ability to successfully pay for our kids education
