Professional Profile
When two close family members approached me for guidance on their pensions as they neared retirement, they had no trusted advisors. Helping them navigate this complex process highlighted the challenges many face in finding reliable retirement planning advice. This inspired me to establish M.A.P. Advisory to offer straightforward services in retirement, insurance, and legacy planning. I’m Arcie Petty, and my family’s needs motivated me to create M.A.P. Advisory. I’m committed to helping you prepare for a future where you can enjoy life on your terms after retirement.
With a decade of teaching experience, over ten years in real estate investment, and more than five years in financial planning, I bring a comprehensive approach to helping clients achieve their goals. My diverse background enables me to offer holistic strategies, including retirement savings, insurance solutions, and Medicare planning, ensuring a secure retirement.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and our two young sons, aged 5 and 3, whether we’re cooking, traveling, or enjoying the outdoors. I also enjoy reading—a pastime that will soon be even more precious, as we welcome twin daughters this fall!
