Eddie Patel, CFP®

My name is Eddie Patel, and I'm the founder and President of Eddie Patel, Inc. I'm a Financial Planner, Accountant, & Poker Aficionado. My background includes work in real estate development, general contracting, insurance sales, portfolio management, and financial planning. I hold numerous licenses across several industries including construction, real estate, and securities.

I've been heard on WIND 560 AM radio, mostly when I had my own talk show known as "The Safe Money & Retirement Show." I speak at local townhall meeting locations, to spread the word about various wealth building strategies.

I live in downtown Chicago, and have lived in the area my whole life. I completed my Bachelor's in Finance at the University of Illinois, and received my certificate in Financial Planning from DePaul University.

I volunteer with Chicago Cares and am a member of several professional associations including the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the National Ethics Bureau (NEB).
