About

Our Mission

MARKEY WEALTH MANAGEMENT was founded in 2009 with a mission to Build, Manage, and Preserve your assets. With a personal, long term focus we seek to serve as an alternative to the monolithic “big business” firms that are transaction oriented. We view our clients as individuals, not commodities, with an overwhelming need for an independent, professional, and fiduciary approach to wealth management.

We believe that Wealth Management is about far more than just making money. Clients and their families are each unique and must be addressed individually. Values and Goals are often at odds with generic “one size fits all” investment modules prevalent in most of today’s financial practices. We believe the conversations should be less about investments and more about lives, seeking to guide our clients to find a possible best path towards their life goals.

Our Vision

For far too many Wealth Managers, the focus is exclusively on retirement and how much money is needed. But retirement is just an event in a long life voyage. We all have numerous goals that often change over time. But while goals change, values and priorities tend to persist. At Markey Wealth Management, we encourage our clients to focus on life’s journey, not just a singular destination. Most people wish to experience far more than could ever be afforded, we provide the advice and guidance to chart a course to fulfillment.

Our goals are to:

• Strive for satisfied results, not surprises
• Focus on long-term relationships, not quick transactions
• Actively communicate with you, seeking to understand your unique needs
• Provide a consistent, competent team of financial professionals to partner with you and your family.
• Coordinate your investment plans with a tailored approach to your life goals.

Our Community Involvement

We believe in contributing to local community efforts and national organizations dedicated to children, families and education. We have actively supported the Women’s Giving Circle of North Central Florida, Gainesville Civic Choir, Boy Scouts of America, and are a school partner with Alachua County Public School Foundation. Here are some of the ways we personally give back:

• Darrin Markey supports veteran’s organizations and is a lifetime member of the VFW.
• Mary Salvamoser supports the Florida Museum of Natural History, Haven Hospice and scholarships with The Education Foundation of Alachua County.
