To contact Creative Planning, send a note through our online form describing your retirement date and current portfolio mix. The firm welcomes in-person inquiries at 539 11th Avenue South, Naples, FL 34102, United States.
A senior team member reviews your note, evaluates your account balances against our $500,000 asset minimum, and usually reaches out by email to schedule a video or phone conference. You will receive clear discussion topics in advance.
What our first conversation leaves out entirely
The opening call is an exploratory audit, not a high-pressure sales pitch. Creative Planning advisors will never ask you to sign account transfers or purchase proprietary insurance products during this discussion.
We avoid complex financial jargon. Instead, the focus stays squarely on whether your existing nest egg can support dependable monthly draws with sensible guardrails when markets pull back.
- No obligation to move money, transfer custodian accounts, or commit capital.
- No generic model portfolios presented before reviewing your actual tax brackets.
- No pressure to consolidate every family asset into an unfamiliar structure immediately.
How we determine whether a partnership makes sense
A successful partnership requires shared expectations around spending discipline. If you want a static 4% draw regardless of economic downturns, our flexible guardrail methodology might not match your philosophy.
Both parties evaluate fit objectively. Creative Planning reviews whether our tax-smart withdrawal schedules provide enough value for your specific asset size, while you evaluate our responsiveness and advisory style.
Who reviews your submission and our typical follow-up questions
Your message goes directly to an experienced advisor rather than an automated triage system. After reviewing your initial figures, we usually email back to clarify three primary items before booking calendar time.
- Rough breakdown of your traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and taxable brokerage balances.
- Target monthly income needed to cover core living expenses and travel goals.
- Current timing for filing Social Security benefits or tapping corporate pensions.
Working together across the country or in Naples
You do not need to live near our Florida office to receive dedicated guidance. Our team advises clients nationwide through secure video appointments and organized telephone updates, sharing withdrawal modeling screens directly with you.
For clients visiting or living in Southwest Florida, in-person consultations are arranged by appointment at our office address. Balanced risk remains central to every plan: no investment is guaranteed, and a portfolio can fall in value, sometimes for years.

Questions people ask Creative Planning
What happens to the portfolio details I enter into the form?
All financial figures submitted through our inquiry form remain strictly confidential. Creative Planning uses your reported account balances solely to verify our $500,000 minimum asset threshold and prepare sensible discussion points for your retirement distribution strategy.
How long does our first conversation usually last?
Our introductory discussions typically last 30 to 45 minutes. That provides sufficient time to review your planned retirement date, examine how spending guardrails protect your principal, and determine whether our ongoing distribution management suits your family needs.
Can I ask a single question about pension timing without becoming a client?
Our initial introductory discussion is an educational evaluation where we gladly answer pressing questions regarding pension elections or Social Security cutoff dates. Formal ongoing advice requires a written agreement setting out all advisory fees before any management work starts.
What are your office hours for telephone reviews and Naples meetings?
Meetings with our advisory team are scheduled strictly by appointment rather than drop-in hours. This ensures your advisor has dedicated time to review your account statements and model monthly withdrawal guardrails without interruption.
