RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL ADVISOR
GREG GHODSI OFFERS SERVICES
IN NORTH CAROLINA AND FLORIDA

SYLVA, N.C. – Greg Ghodsi, senior vice president of investments and manager of the 360 Wealth Management Group of Raymond James, member New York Stock Exchange/SIPC, has opened a second office in North Carolina. Ghodsi will now be offering his services at both 473 Ridgeway St. in Sylva, N.C., and at 3810 Northdale Boulevard in Tampa, Fla., according to Ira Federer, senior vice president and divisional director for RJ&A. The toll free telephone number for both offices is 877-871-3472.

“Because I enjoy the mountains and my client base is divided between the two areas, I feel it’s important to have a presence in both locations,” stated Ghodsi. “I want to develop deep financial relationships with clients, and doing that requires me to constantly monitor their portfolios and conduct face-to-face reviews. It's in these meetings that I find out about life changes and discover the real issues affecting my clients.”

With more than 19 years of financial industry experience, Ghodsi offers a comprehensive range of investment alternatives and services, specializing in financial planning and risk management. Prior to joining Raymond James, he served for 11 years as a senior vice president and financial advisor at the Tampa office of Robert W. Baird & Co., where he had an estimated $275 million in assets under management. In 2003, Registered Rep. magazine named him one of the top 10 brokers in the country.
