Yes I do, I'm in the investment and insurance field. Highly likely that gold mine "opportunity" was a sham.

Oh my goodness, never. I can refer them to various professional financial advisors if they ask, but I don't ever provide advice per se.

Ew, not like that!

  Buy real estate.  

  Be sure to ask your inspector how that gold mine is paying off.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, - I ask them to consult their financial advisor.

I have invested in buying Rental Properties since age 21 and I share my experiences ,

I do not because I am not a Financial Adviser.

That's not financial advice that's pitching a product or stock. 

I think financial advice would be how to clean up your credit or write letters to get things cleared up. That's all.

Like investing advice? No, but I will help with info on what's needed for a mortgage  preapproval & who they can contact, run numbers through a mortgage calculator for them, things related to selling them a house.

No actual financial advice, but might point out that they should do some more research before deciding, check with a CPA, etc.

No sir, that is beyond my pay grade

Those asking for advice in investing in forestland or homes will receive the benefit of my expertise.

But I know very little about South African gold so I will not be coaching or selling anyone on this opportunity.

No I do not, but I do direct them to someone more qualified to answer investment/financial questions.

I'd never ambush them with a sales pitch like that, no.

Nor do I like a lender, CPA or financial advisor would.

I share real stories or success and failures with them so they can make informed decisions and then refer them to the above professionals.

Nope, everybody has their own thoughts. When asked, I will answer with another question. Food for thought but no conclusions!

my clients were usually new home builders.... when a buyer wandered in and did not want a buyer's agent, I discussed financing with them and directed them to my mortgage contact.... if they were not financable, I'd get them financed myself...

Jeff Pearl nailed this one!

I never give advice that is not within the realm of my expertise, Real Estate.  For financial legal or otherwise, I refer them to the appropriate professional.

No way !!

No, I don't give any advices.

I relate personal experiences, but advise them to seek the advice of a professional in that area. 

That seems like a stretch. I would definately give my advice it is was related and recommend that they meet with a professional for further assistance.

What your inspector did sounds more like a pitch than financial advice.

Heck no, always tell them a CPA or a financial investment company would be a better source of information.

Absolutely not. The only thing I am will to do is tell them about my personal experiences and refer them to someone who is an expert in the industry.

No...and that 'gold mine' sounds 'fishy' ...

If he is a good inspector and does something on the side, it does not bother me.

Nope

Yes I do. I mention often to all my buyers that investing in rental property may be a very good strategy to build wealth for retirement. Then I send then to their accountant for more details.

I advise them to seek proper financial professionals

I give advice all the time on all situations when requested and when it is not requested.  Sometimes the advice is to ask someone else like an expert in the field, a CPA, Doctor, Attorney, Teacher...

My financial advice is limited to the transactions in progress.

No No No. Even though I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night

No,  I sell homes only.

yes and no.  I do tell them things like "make sure to dicuss with your loan officer the impact that making a new purchase during the contract period would have" and things like that which could be seen as financial advice.

No. We're not supposed to give financial advice. Plus, not knowing the big picture, you could give damaging advice.

I do since I am a mortgage broker, but others should not.

No. I do not. I refer them to qualified professionals that I know and trust. 

I've been invited by several clients to get involved in World Financial selling life insurance.  Not my thing ... I graciously explained. 

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, I never give financial advice.

With a background as a bank manager, a bachelor’s degree in Finance, and many years of personal experience with my own finances, I know enough give basic advice. I refer clients to experts when they get serious about needed direction.

No even if I know the answer to a question.

"Buy low, sell high" and "save your pennies for a rainy day"

i give any advice that is personal and relevant and requested, but since i am not a financial adviser , i stay away from that. i stick to what i have experience on. 

No, I do not since I'm not a licensed financial advisor. I'm happy to answer investment questions on real estate but not personal finances.

i do not.  I have no license nor liability insurance connected with financial planning.

Paul,

I would not, I would advise them to talk to a professional.  A

If asked I can give feedback and input

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, Only within the scope of being a real estate Broker. Anything beyond this basic information, they should consult with their accountant.

I would have asked for some free gold samples before going. 

No,I am not a CPA, CFP and don't play one neither.

Although I used to be licensed (expired) to do so, I do not now as it would not be appropriate.

No, but I point them in the right direction.

Well of course not.... but I must admit that I do give pointers and point out certain tings they should be investigating with their associated pros, the questions they should be asking - all related to real estate. 

I do not give NON-REAL ESTATE financial advise.

When real estate is 50% of market value my advise is buy it or get out of my way. 

Do I encourage others to purchase things that will prove beneficial to them AND sometimes to me, of course. 

We all do in a way but to tell someone to do somewthing based on your belief and you are not a CPA is dangerous.

No. 

No.
