Deyka Charneco
As a Johns Creek Investment Professional, I take a comprehensive approach to helping individuals, families and business owners pursue their long-term financial goals. I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you, your attorney, CPA and other trusted professionals to develop a personalized, holistic strategy aligned with your unique objectives, values and financial priorities. As a bilingual professional, I am committed to serving my clients with integrity, care and professionalism.
Originally from Puerto Rico, I lived there for 25 years before moving to Florida to marry my soulmate. After 18 years in Florida, our family felt called to the mountains and relocated to Forsyth County, where we now enjoy life near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. My husband, Julio (Chafi), and I are blessed with three wonderful children: Julise, Brianna and Ezekiel. We are proud homeschooling parents who value faith, family and lifelong learning.
In our free time, we enjoy hiking, traveling and working on DIY home remodeling projects. While Chafi expresses his creativity through graphic design, I enjoy crafting cold-process soap. As a family, we love singing and playing guitar and ukulele together. We also serve as Senior Members of the Civil Air Patrol, actively support community service initiatives and remain engaged in our local church.
We recognize the profound impact that financial literacy and financial success can have—not only on an individual’s life, but also on their family, business and future generations. I deeply understand the importance of preparing for the unexpected, and my purpose is to provide thoughtful, individualized solutions designed to help meet each client’s unique needs and aspirations.
You are never navigating your financial journey alone. Our office is supported by thousands of professionals and advanced technology across Cetera, helping ensure that you receive current, comprehensive guidance and exceptional service every step of the way.
