Jim Gaskins
Founder of United Retirement Services
I started in financial services in 2007, working in Medicare and long-term care. It didn't take long to realize the problem: working directly for an insurance company meant selling their products, whether or not those products were actually the best fit for the person sitting across from me. So I made a change — I became an independent broker, free to recommend what actually made sense for each client instead of what a single company needed me to sell.
Since then, I've built a practice around every piece of the puzzle: health insurance, life insurance in all its forms, group benefits for small and mid-size businesses, estate planning, and retirement planning. Along the way, I've had the privilege of helping more than 1,400 city, county, state, and federal employees across a dozen-plus states — from Minnesota and Wisconsin to Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas — build retirement plans they can actually count on.
That experience taught me something most people don't realize until it's too late: even good retirement plans usually have a gap somewhere. Maybe it's market risk with no floor under it. Maybe it's the catastrophic cost of long-term care with no plan to cover it. Maybe it's an estate with no trust in place, headed for probate. I founded United Retirement Services to find and close those gaps — using annuities, long-term care coverage, estate planning, and full retirement plans, and partnering with other financial professionals when a client needs something outside my own wheelhouse. My job isn't to sell you on anything. It's to make sure nothing important gets missed, and our team carries out that mission.
