(Casey H. Kenton, Senior Advisor)

LEWES, DE, JANUARY 2010 - Casey H. Kenton, Senior Advisor for Sperry Van Ness - Miller Commercial Real Estate in Lewes, DE recently obtained his State of Delaware Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) license to help clients diversify their assets between Commercial real estate and financial securities. One of Kenton’s primary focuses will be assisting clients with purchasing Commercial and Investment property using a self-directed IRA trust account.

“The self-directed IRA concept is an invaluable tool for alternative investment. Many investors are unaware that this form of investment is legal and are frustrated with the performance of their IRA mutual fund or annuity and are seeking alternative investments for their hard earned retirement funds,” says Kenton. The self-directed IRA concept is a legal procedure which allows clients to convert their IRA, SEP IRA, Roth IRA or Solo (K) Plan into a self-directed trust account which invests in the asset.

Kenton recently attended an educational seminar held in Stamford, MA sponsored by Pensco Trust Company, one of the leading trust companies for self-directed IRA’s in the country. Kenton is one of the only real estate professionals in Delaware offering advisory and consulting services for clients interested in the self-directed IRA concept. Kenton specializes in commercial sales, leasing and tenant representation services to clients on the Delmarva Peninsula and holds a Delaware and Maryland real estate broker’s license.
