Raffi Zadoian is an independent Certified Annuity Specialist (CAS) specializing in retirement income and annuity solutions. Licensed in 18 states, he works with individuals, families, retirees, and those approaching retirement to help them understand their options and make informed decisions about their financial future.

With three years of experience focused exclusively on annuities, Raffi takes an educational, no-pressure approach to client relationships.

Before entering the financial industry, Raffi built a diverse business background as an owner-operator of a 30-location automotive repair business and through B2B partnerships with DoorDash before and after its IPO. His experience in entrepreneurship, technology, sales, and business development has shaped his straightforward, relationship-focused approach to working with clients.
