STEVEN G. CRAWFORD, CLU®, ChFC®, LUTCF®, AEP®
Founder
Steve has served as the leader of The Main Street Group since he founded it in 1984 and holds numerous professional designations. In 2006, he made the strategic decision to join the independent broker-dealer LPL Financial. During his tenure at LPL, Steve was a member of the Chairman’s Club or Patriot’s Club each year, placing him in the top 2 percent of financial professionals nationwide based on production. Steve has participated in every facet of the financial planning process, both for his former clients and for new associates who joined The Main Street Group. His passion was guiding his former clients through the principles of life planning.
While financial planning involves number crunching, selecting appropriate investment vehicles and working to develop a financial roadmap, life planning can require more. Life planning helps to mitigate a client’s fears about retirement or end-of-life issues like care for a disabled child or long-term health care. Steve believed in minimizing as many of his former clients’ apprehensions as possible. He learned through his many years of experience that having a carefully considered and comprehensive life plan can help put an entire family at ease.
Steve was a Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®), Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®), Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow® (LUTCF®), and Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®). He has a Bachelor of Arts from Lynchburg College.
Steve is an artist and often gives prints of his paintings to his clients. His works are on display throughout our offices.
After many years of service in The Financial Advisor Role, Steve retired in June of 2024. He will enjoy time doing artwork, particularly, landscapes are one of his favorites. Painting and drawing are one of his many talents, and you can see many of his pieces on display at our Richmond office. We thank Steve for his countless hours spent with clients, giving guidance and words of wisdom. We are grateful for his vision and the strong foundation he laid for The Main Street Group that will serve many more clients to come.
