Please join us in welcoming the newest addition to the Hill Investment Group family! Our own John Reagan and his wife Molly gave birth this past weekend to their first child, James Francis Reagan, who weighed in at 6lbs 12oz.

As you follow the journey through the LongView process, we’ve now arrived at Mutual Commitment. This is the moment of truth for you, the prospective client, and for Hill. Having participated in both the Discovery and Planning stages, you now know a lot about Hill, as we do about you. We call it mutual because we’re both making significant commitments to each other. You are turning over your life savings for us to shepherd, and we are taking on a fiduciary obligation to act solely in your best interests. Yes. A significant commitment for both parties. This is a meaningful change for you if you’re coming from a large brokerage firm where their only obligation is suitability—meaning the broker is not required to put their interests below yours. Welcome to a higher standard.

Ultimately, your decision to make this commitment should be based on a feeling of trust and belief that all parties are better off working together than without each other. If we both agree to move forward, our team keeps it simple and as hassle-free as possible.

On Friday, August 15th, our team met in St. Louis to attend a Habitat for Humanity build at 12128 Trampe Heights Lane. We extend our thanks to a friend of the firm, John Castagno, for the invitation and also for serving as house leader during our build. We enjoyed the opportunity to learn some new skills, and we were proud to further Habitat’s efforts to create housing for someone in need.

Habitat For Humanity St. Louis is an impressive organization with over 350 homes in the St. Louis area. Everything in the process is guided by thoughtful planning—from thoroughly vetting homeowners to energy-efficient designs that make living in their homes more affordable.
