About

Volker Financial & Insurance Services in Normal Heights, San Diego provides fee-only wealth management from a second-floor office on 30th Street, where advisor Jeffrey Ott has operated since the firm's incorporation in 1989. Ott holds Series 63 registration through Cetera Investment Advisers LLC (member FINRA/SIPC) and is registered to advise clients in both California and Texas. Retirement-planning clients coordinating year-end tax positions work in parallel with Murillo Services, a tax preparation practice in the same 92116 neighborhood. His planning work covers retirement income modeling, college savings plan selection through 529 vehicles, brokered CD laddering, and estate strategy — with a particular emphasis on tax-efficient structures for LGBTQ+ clients navigating joint-filing, beneficiary, and asset-transfer questions that standard financial plans overlook. ESG and impact-screening portfolios are available for clients who want investment alignment with social and environmental criteria. Ott earned a B.A. in Molecular Biology and Sociology from UC San Diego before transitioning into financial services, and San Diego Magazine named him a Five Star Wealth Manager annually from 2010 through 2021. Clients purchasing or refinancing property as part of a broader wealth plan can integrate pre-qualification timelines through Trevor Gravink, a mortgage consultant operating within the Normal Heights lending network. The 30th Street office limits its client roster to maintain the capacity for individualized portfolio reviews built around each household's risk tolerance, time horizon, and long-term income targets.
