Testimonials Pat Drago Financial Advisor I'm relatively new to Vanderbilt Securities and can't imagine why it took me so long to join forces with such a dynamic Broker/Dealer. The transition from my old firm to Vanderbilt has been so smooth and the staff extremely helpful. At Vanderbilt I don't feel like I'm just "another number", so to speak. I feel like I'm part of a well-oiled machine. The overall attitude is one of constant improvement and meshing with one another so that we can all be more productive with a much more pleasant attitude. Each member of the Vanderbilt staff is knowledgable and eager to assist and this makes my job a lot easier. I also want to thank Vanderbilt Securities for hosting such a delightful afternoon at the beach. Learning how to build a sandcastle was such a fun and enlightening experience. It was more than just learning how to build a sandcastle, it was bonding with the Vanderbilt "family." I look forward to a long, prosperous and happy relationship with Vanderbilt Securities. Bill Hammer Jr. Financial Advisor I decided to come to Vanderbilt mainly for the opportunity to work with my father. However, I was inspired by my initial meetings with CEO Steve Distante and his vision for this firm. It is a place where everyone’s contribution helped to make the firm what it was. The accountability is high and it is impossible to get lost in the crowd. The transition was as painless as it could be. Everyone has been very helpful and patient in teaching me the processes of the firm. Besides my father, Steve has been tremendous in his support of my coming aboard at Vanderbilt. He has tried to provide me with every resource to ensure my success. His staff has also been very kind in answering an enormous amount of questions and I enjoy the collegial atmosphere. Everyone is quick to follow-up and eager to assist in their area of expertise. Vanderbilt offers a chance for you to grow and improve your practice. They want your clients to be loyal to you first, and then Vanderbilt. There are no particular products or companies that are pushed on us or incent us heavily.
