“What we have enjoyed the most about working with Appalachian Wealth Management is their knowledge and experience gives us peace of mind that our investments are being taken seriously no matter how small or great they may be. Our partnership with AWM has positively impacted our lives by taking our hard earned money and investing it in ways that we can feel comfortable and confident in. AWM has taken the burden of retirement planning away and has put our minds at ease about retirement. We have and will continue to recommend our friends and family to AWM because of the "hometown family environment" and experience. They treat our money as they would their own. They work hard for middle class working families.”

“It is never easy” going it own your own” when it comes to investments, knowing when to buy, when to sell, and when to just simply protect your wealth as you get older. Melissa Ekeberg helped my elderly mother claim assets from investment companies who I, as her financial power of attorney years ago, found unscrupulous and hard to deal with by myself. So. when I needed advice and guidance with my own investments and insurance questions, there was simply no one I trusted more than Melissa Ekeberg. She truly cares about her clients; we are her friends; she goes the extra mile to help with our individual financial and life complexities. For me, it was a special moment when Melissa agreed to “speak for” me…. along with my financial and health Power of Attorney concerning my Long Term Care insurance. I feel secure in that aspect now. Melissa and her Client Relationship Manager, Kristen Flesher, and her Associate Financial Advisor, Chase Gunter, will always have your best interests at heart. This is much more than just a job for each of them. It is a calling. And they do it superbly. I sit back now, and relax, knowing that my money and my future are in good hands, reliable hands, with Appalachian Wealth Management and Melissa Ekeberg.”

"I wanted to take a minute to thank Appalachian Wealth Management. My wife and I have trusted them with our investments for a number of years. Recently we’ve introduced other family members including Grandchildren to them for long term financial planning and investments. They are professional and truly take an interest in each individual to help them meet their goals. They are responsive and when meeting with them we never feel rushed. With their numerous years in the business and with the crazy times we are currently experiencing, our entire family feels at ease with their guidance. Thank you Melissa, Chase, and Kristen for everything!!"
