Is a College Planner worth the investment?

I got this question today from a family that was considering my services.

A family comes into my office today for their free consult with me. I went through my general questions about the family and about the families needs. I quickly discovered that they have a major problem with funding the full amount of college. I realized that they have 2 children and only half of the amount for college. I mentioned that something was better than nothing. The bad news is that they would have to sell all of their investments to pay for their children’s educational needs.

I went through my analysis and made the discovery that I can show them how to deduct over $150,000 of educational costs, therefore saving them well over $50,000 in taxes. I also discovered that the student was less than 50 points away from being qualified for a $39,000 scholarship at a private college. The total potential savings for college could be close to $200,000 over the next 8 years of paying for college.

I know I showed them that a small investment in getting expert guidance through this college admissions, and college financial maze is going to be well worth it.
