Welcome to Professional Planning Services!

About Us

For me, Professional Planning Services is more than an agency - it is my greatest professional achievement. Seventeen years ago I set out to build the kind of company that I would be proud to put my name on. I wanted to build an agency that did everything its clients expected and more; a company whose every aspect was infused with integrity and quality. In short, the kind of company you don't see very often anymore.

As time progressed and Professional Planning Services grew in popularity and expanded into its new office in Somerset, NJ, tough choices needed to be made. The question that remained in front of me was how much to grow?

I wanted to expand enough to give my clients a place to visit anytime they wanted, but at the same time it was necessary that my clients continue to feel the individualized service that they had become accustomed to. It was very tempting to expand quickly, but I did not want to build an agency for agents, but rather an agency for my clients.

Nothing can match the importance of letting my clients know that I appreciate their faith and support in the expansion of my agency. I have, and always will, put forth the dedication, thought, and consideration into each of my client’s planning stages. I promise to do this one client at a time.

At the end of the day, I have to smile because this is a dream come true. I owe this opportunity to each and every one of my clients. I want to take this moment to personally thank each and every one of you for allowing me to serve you the only way I know how, my absolute best. Thanks for your years of support, and I look forward to many more years of great relationships. That's a promise I make to you, to my staff, and to myself.

Sincerely,

Chris Lester
President of Professional Planning Services
