Ted Houghton specializes in Executive Benefit Plans, Wealth Transfer, and Business Life Insurance. Ted’s responsibilities include assisting clients with the products and services Houghton Financial Partners offers, while helping clients grow their own businesses.

Knowing that the ability to listen is the most important tool for understanding the needs of clients, Ted Houghton asks the following question:

If we meet again three years from today, what will need to have happened to you – both personally and professionally - so that you are happy with your progress?

This question procures refreshingly honest answers from which Ted gains valuable insight. In the answers, clients express their own closely held goals and provide the information necessary to build a framework for a plan to reach those goals. Ted approaches each client’s situation with a talent for listening, and introduces clients to innovative concepts and strategies designed to fit their specific needs.
