Justin A

Series 65

San Antonio, TX

Sagespring Wealth Partners

Justin Allen is a Financial Advisor with SageSpring Wealth Partners, where he helps individuals, families, and business owners make confident financial decisions through comprehensive planning and investment management. Justin believes financial advice should be understandable. Rather than relying on jargon or complicated strategies, he takes the time to educate clients on how their financial lives fit together—from investing and retirement planning to taxes, insurance, estate planning, and income distribution. His goal is for every client to understand not only what they're doing, but why they're doing it. As an independent, fee-based advisor, Justin works as a fiduciary, building investment portfolios and financial plans tailored to each client's unique goals. He believes that good financial planning extends well beyond investment performance. Coordinating taxes, retirement income, risk management, healthcare decisions, estate planning, and behavioral coaching are all critical pieces of helping clients achieve long-term financial success. Justin serves clients throughout Texas and across the country. He has a particular passion for helping retirees, pre-retirees, professionals, and business owners navigate life's biggest financial decisions with clarity and confidence. Outside of the office, Justin enjoys spending time with his wife, Abbie, golfing, hunting, fishing, and exploring the outdoors.
