    OLYMPIA, WA, September 13, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Financial Advocates welcomes Todd Homer and Michael Homer, formerly of Waddell and Reed, to their rapidly expanding network of independent advisors. The brothers, who transitioned their businesses separately over the past few months, are now partners at the newly formed Integrity Wealth Advisors.

"My practice had tremendous growth and I needed a partner that had the scale and vast experience to support our growing practice," said Todd Homer when asked what fueled his decision to transition.

Michael Homer, who transitioned in advance of Todd, shared similar sentiments, "We needed more advanced technology resources and platform offerings. Financial Advocates has built a service model that easily delivers this to us and more."
