How I Work

My reasons for becoming a financial professional are deeply personal. I repeatedly saw many friends and family struggling to find the help they needed to map out their financial future. I am confident that with my understanding of personal finance, coupled with my training as a financial professional, I can help people better prepare for the future. After years in the business, I have developed a reputation for educating individuals in an easy-to-understand manner so they can grasp personal finance and use those concepts to pursue their financial objectives. I feel a commitment to my community.

A team approach adds perspective to all I do and provides increased benefits to my clients.

My name is Dimitris Panagopoulos, and my journey into financial advising began long before I entered the industry—back when I was a kid stocking shelves and running the register at my father’s grocery store. Watching him work hard to provide for our family without the support of a financial advisor made a lasting impression on me. He handled every decision on his own, often carrying the full weight of the business without guidance. That experience inspired me to become the kind of advisor he never had.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been proud to serve clients as a Financial Advisor at Cetera Investors, helping individuals, families, and small business owners build thoughtful, personalized financial strategies. Whether it’s retirement planning, investment management, or navigating life’s financial complexities, I focus on creating plans that reflect each client’s unique goals and values. I believe that financial advice starts with listening. No two people are the same—and understanding what matters most to you is the foundation of everything we build together.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors—fishing, golfing, and hunting help me recharge and stay grounded. I bring that same calm, focused energy to my work, aiming to be a steady, reliable partner for every client I serve.
