What Clients are Saying About Equity Trust

Holly

I’m so glad we moved our money to a self-directed IRA. We have more control over where and what our money is invested in.

Keith

[Equity Trust] has been fantastic to deal with. While no two investments are the same, I have not had any issues in finalizing the paperwork in a timely fashion. The online bill pay is easy to use and expenses related to my investments are always paid quickly.

Steve

Great partner to take you through the real estate IRA process. They make the complex simple!

Gary

Gary

I have used Equity Trust for 3 1/2 years flipping houses. After getting familiar with their system, I find it very easy to pay vendors, purchase and sell properties. Their customer support people are excellent. Very pleased with Equity Trust and highly recommend them for IRA real estate investing.

Amanda

I was very nervous to make my first real estate purchase, but the Equity Trust people were so helpful in answering my questions and guiding me through the process. The transaction went smoothly and quickly.
