About Us
Our mission is simple: to serve with authenticity, integrity, and excellence. We believe in the power of people—because behind every financial decision, goal, and plan is a story worth investing in. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, and they’re what truly drive us forward.
Founded in 2012 by three families , Oliver LaGore, VanValin has expanded to five office locations across Michigan and Texas, enabling us to better serve the communities we love.
Our Focus
In all that we’ve done one thing remains: Our focus is, and always will be, on serving others.
We’re more than a financial firm— we’re a team of people who invest in people.
