    I knew opening a Gold IRA was the best way to protect what I have and make sure I have for the future. Not knowing where to start, I was recommended to Advantage Gold through a colleague. From my first point of contact with them, I knew I had found the right organization to work with. My contact was Shawn who educated and guided me through all the steps of both how the market worked and opening the Gold IRA. I would recommend Shawn and the whole Advantage Gold team to anyone who is interested in precious metals.

    First of all, I want to start off by saying that I have dealt with many gold companies in the past, and my experience with Advantage Gold was very different – in a great way! I’ll call gold companies from time to time to get price quotes, and prior to contacting Advantage Gold it was always the same pushy salesperson trying to sell me overpriced coins. From our very first conversation I could tell that Brad was unique and genuinely cared about my investment goals instead of having some sort of agenda to “sell me”. I really appreciated his approach and will be contacting Advantage Gold for all of my metals acquisitions moving forward!

    I had a really nice experience working with Brad at Advantage Gold. He spent a lot of time with me and was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly, which I very much appreciated. I also found this company very transparent when it came to their pricing. By the way, their prices and buyback policy is fantastic! I’d definitely recommend this company to anybody that’s interested in a precious metals investment. In fact, I’ve already given my friend Advantage Gold’s phone number. Thanks again for your time and expertise Brad!

    Advantage Gold had a high star rating and it looked like they were selling gold which I found to be very interesting. That made me want to hear more. I called them and after that, my experience with them has been very good. So far, I call them when I have a question and I get all the reports I need. I hope to finish this process quickly. Without their help, sometimes I would get stuck. I work with Paul and he's been helping me. He's going to purchase some metals using my account.

    After conducting my due diligence on self-directed IRA companies, I found Advantage Gold to the best of the best. My agent, Michael, was professional, honest, and most importantly trust worthy. Through his knowledge of precious metals he was able to thoroughly explain and educate me on all my investment opportunities. He did an outstanding job of laying out the process for me with ease and comfort. My highest regards to the Advantage Gold Team and Michael!

    Advantage Gold has been an amazing resource. I am an educated and cautious investor. I have stocks, bonds, real estate and cash. I have wanted to put a portion of my net worth into precious metals for a while now but didn't know where to start. What metals? Gold? Silver? How much? Coins? Bars? Advantage Gold has been my guide throughout this process and has helped me understand all the options that are available. The differences between different metals, the differences between different coins and bars, etc. I have never gotten such an in-depth level of education before from an investment firm. If you want to buy physical metals, you can't do better than Advantage Gold.

    I was on the internet browsing looking for a particular gold exchange outlet and I came across Advantage Gold. I called them up and talked to George. His attitude sold me to them. He was cool, looked out for me, and got back to me. Because before I called Advantage Gold, I went to another gold exchange guy and he wasn’t too enthusiastic to buy gold from me. So then I bought the precious metals directly and the sales department was good. I got a good deal and I have no problems with what I got.

    I've always been interested in Gold but I had no idea I could use my retirement account to invest in gold. I had a great conversation with Kirill and he sent me a free copy of Jim Rickards book The New Case For Gold. I also talked with Chelsea in their Ira department and about how to convert an old 401k into a self-directed Ira, which is fantastic because with my retirement savings is in physical gold the government can't touch it! I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Kirill and Advantage Gold.

    I rolled over my old 401K to a Gold IRA with the help of Advantage Gold. I had a ton of questions and wanted to know how the entire process worked as I have never done this before and everyone over there was just fantastic. They were extremely quick to respond and answered all of my questions and got my account rollover with no issues. These guys also know their precious metals. It was a great learning experience and now my retirement account is protected thanks to these guys. Highly recommend them if you are looking to rollover your 401K into a Gold IRA.

    The account executive from Advantage Gold was very personal and we got along okay. However, I think their objectives are a little different than some of the other companies I have done business with. I'll go to a different company next time because I prefer to buy graded coins.

    I had gotten different emails and watched different videos. I wanted to talk about the advantages in buying gold and silver and it seemed to me there was one from Advantage Gold so I contacted Ben. He was exceptionally nice and he genuinely seemed to care about what he was doing. So I had a little bit of money to put in to it and it was a really good experience. It was not a tremendous amount and like he said, it’s not gonna make or break him but it could be an advantage to me down the road. So time will tell. If I ever get in the position to have any more money to invest, I’ll get in touch with Ben and he’ll take care of it for me. If a friend's got money to invest and they want to put it in gold or silver, I’ve got Ben’s number in my phone and he'll take care of them too.

    I converted 401(k) once I moved it out into a vehicle that I could purchase both gold and silver. I talked to multiple people that were passing responsibility on to a primary sales guy and I dealt directly with a sales guy. Everything was good and very informative. Advantage Gold got back to me pretty quickly. I opened a brand new account and it was the first time that I purchased gold and silver. Some people would expect gold and silver to go up after they did a purchase so they may be disappointed but in my case, I look at it as a long-term solution in case I would have to collapse. If the wheel comes off the bus, I'm gonna assume the worst that at some point things are gonna go south, that's where I'm expecting gold and or silver to go up and then it's more of a safety net. I knew the expectations and I discussed it with Advantage Gold. Overall, I had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Advantage Gold. I would recommend them.

    Advantage Gold contacted me and this was kind of a long, drawn out process. A lesser man would’ve just thrown me on the bad prospect pile. I wasn’t ready to do anything and I told them that right from the beginning. I had questions, all of which were answered over a period of months, and I ended up putting $100,000 in silver. They did a good job, specifically Rob. He could answer right off the cuff any and every question I asked and we did not deal in generalities. I was impressed with the range of knowledge, the accuracy, and the professionalism. I’m very comfortable with what I did.
