Reviews of Ideal Life Experience Ltd. (Financial Consultant)

Richard Freed

My wife Anne and I have now been working with Dean since 2007 so 14yrs. He has never steered us in the wrong direction. Dean is professional but at the same time casual enough to make you feel at ease. When we lived in Calgary we would go for an in person meeting at his office where he would update us, check to see if we had any questions or concerns and explain why changes were made if necessary. He has always been very transparent in his dealings with us and any company he worked with that did not operate with that same transparency was soon switched out. We now live on Vancouver Island so we have our yearly check in by phone. Anne and I would not hesitate to recommend Dean to anyone looking for an excellent financial planner and if fact already have.

Dean was extremely focused on listening to us and discussing our Life road map. Over the years he has always been available to listen and discuss anything that we had to say. The pro's and con's were always evaluated, and we never felt pressured with time or decisions. We always felt our best interests were key in every discussion.

I have got to know Dean quite well over the past couple of years and have really begun to trust him. He shows great care and attention to all his customers and it shows in all he does. He is a Man of Integrity and his heart is to help people along the way, not only in their financial journey but in their life Journey as well. Let Dean Kendall and his Company, Ideal Life Experience show you ways to have a better quality of life and ultimately financial freedom. Let him allow you to gain his trust as he has mine and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. Larry Metz

We have been a client of Dean Kendall for over 15 years now. Two words come to mind when I think of Dean, honest and trustworthy. Dean does not try to sell you products or services that you don’t need, or any that have a high element of risk. In addition the cost of any services or products that Dean provides are up front and transparent. With Dean’s financial guidance we have been able to retire to our dream home on Vancouver Island. And through this long process Dean Kendall has become not just a good financial advisor, but a good friend!

Donna Peterson

I have been dealing with Dean Kendall from Ideal Life Experience for a little over 1 year now. He has been very helpful when it comes to all aspects of my portfolio whether with his company or not (ie. all types of insurance policies). I am very grateful to have found him. His expertise and knowledge has helped me to work through my financial portfolio. I want to add, when you have those unforeseen expenses that come up in everyday life he was a blessing as he directed me to what in his judgement was the best steps to take. His staff is friendly and will help as much as they possibly can whenever I call in. I would highly recommend this team. I'm am certain you will be just as happy with your choice as I have been. D. Peterson

Bob McAllister

After meeting Dean & Ellen and continuing forward, the biggest thing we can say is Trust. Together we devolved a clear plan to retire, which was easy to understand and follow. I'm retired two years now, and what started out in trust has now grown into a friendship. We are very happy with our experience, Bob & Brenda McAllister

Brent Dornian

Dean Kendall, and all the folks at Ideal Life, have all the right tools, credentials and experience to build the best road maps toward the real financial goals that matter. Their approach is designed with the fiduciary responsibility solely aligned to the client investor's intent and values, with full disclosure on all aspects of the comprehensive plan, custom tailored to achieve the desired goals and objectives.

Dick Wamsley

We watched close friends move into their retirement with support of Dean Kendall, Ideal Life Experience. And we were impressed. So we decided to meet with Dean to see what he could help us with. We are now retired and are very pleased with the support/ advice we received from Dean. We definitely recommend him and his services.

Kelly Wilson

We have been working with Dean at Ideal Life for over 13 years. They are full service Financial Advisors. They are knowledgeable, proactive and always looking for the best opportunity for there clients. Recently changed our retirement investments because Dean and team researched and recommended a better option. Previous financial advisor seemed to spend time looking for new clients vs. servicing existing clients, not our experience with Dean.

This firm and it's leaders Dean and Ellen our first class in our view. My wife and I have been clients for some 15 years and have been met with a high standard of excellence throughout our relationship. We remain very pleased with both the services offered and provided, and the results our portfolio has delivered over the past years. We would highly recommend this firm (as we have for our family and friends) for anyone seeking guidance and advise in their financial portfolios. Regards Gary & Bev.

I appreciate the "values" approach Dean took to create our financial plan. He helped my husband and I identify what we hold as important in life and in our financial future as the foundation of our plan. He responds quickly and professionally to any of our questions. We feel we are in very good hands with this company!
