Barry Haffner has been a Financial Advisor for over 35 years and leads a team with more than a half-century of collective financial services experience. But those aren't the numbers by which Barry measures his success. Instead, he counts the number of client weddings he’s attended; the number of photographs he has, sharing in clients’ joy over a new vacation house or a college graduation; the number of clients who’ve placed their trust in his team for decades.
That’s not to say that numbers driven by experience and insights aren't important to Barry and to the comprehensive financial advice his team provides, but that the friends, families and memories behind those numbers matter far more. Thus, it’s no surprise that his wife, Dani, and children, Alex and Ilyssa, are top priorities for Barry—along with the relentless drive to be successful for them.
In the nearly four decades since Barry graduated from the University of Maryland and was hired by Paine Webber, UBS's predecessor firm, Barry has, indeed, succeeded. He has been recognized as a Financial Times Top 400 Adviser ('14, '16-'18), a Barron's Top Financial Advisor ('10, '12-'18) and a Washingtonian Magazine Best Financial Adviser ('16, '18). He works alongside a great team, which includes his son. And he recently celebrated more than 30 years of marriage by taking a tour of Europe and buying a vacation home overlooking Casco Bay in Maine.
