Belen Krabbe

Chapter President

I believe my purpose is to help people make life changing financial choices for a secure future.  34 years of experience has shown me that a wrong financial choice could be devastating to an entire family and procrastination is often the biggest problem.  The gift I owe my clients is a  wake-up call to create their own legacies NOW with intentionality.

Nothing is more important than protecting the tangible and intangible assets of our families.  The plans made today can affect hundreds of descendants and the world.  I believe when all is said and done, beyond the Investments and Insurance, beyond the Social Security, Retirement, and Philanthropy Planning, people want to know they have lived a life of significance and have made a difference.

Perhaps consider attending one of the upcoming AFEA classes cheduled in your area.  It is also a pleasure to help others as an Smartvestor for the Dave Ramsey Show.  We live in a prosperous nation with too many people living in poverty.  It simply doesn't have to be that way.  I can help.  

I am blessed to be married for over 32 years to Paul Krabbe.  We have raised our blended family of five children and enjoy our nine grandchildren.  I am involved with Hampton Kiwanis club, Dollars for Scholars,  music, missions and  prayer shawl ministry.  I also own Compro Casas, LLC...a company that "buys ugly houses and restores them so people have a safe and healthy place to live".

I welcome the opportunity to use my experience and education through AFEA to help others eliminate financial illiteracy.  We live in a country of incredible opportunity... some folks simply need a little more help and encouragement to allow financial success to happen.  I am a woman who was told repeatedly that I would be a failure.  Instead, I chose to believe... therefore, I was able to achieve.
