Christine Maushardt, CSSCS®

I entered the financial services industry in 2008 after graduating from Pace University with a degree in Finance, and founded WatersEdge Wealth Management in 2023. Starting with First Investors Corporation gave me the foundation, but the past 17 years of working directly with clients has taught me what really matters when people are planning for the next chapter of their lives.

My practice centers on retirement planning, income distribution strategies, and helping families think through multigenerational wealth transfer. Finance changes constantly, and I've found that staying ahead of those shifts is how I remain a genuine resource for the people who count on me. That's why I maintain my Certified Social Security Claiming Specialist designation and stay actively involved in professional organizations that keep me current on regulatory changes and industry standards.

I hold Series 6, 7, 26, 63, and 65 licenses, along with life and health insurance credentials. The technical knowledge matters, but what I value most is taking complex financial concepts and turning them into clear, actionable strategies that fit each person's unique situation. Being named to Cetera's Circle of Excellence reflects the trust my clients place in me, and I don't take that lightly.

Building lasting relationships means being transparent about what's possible and honest about what's not. I believe in aligning my work with my values and supporting causes that matter to the people I serve. Community involvement isn't separate from what I do professionally; it's part of the same commitment to making a meaningful impact.

Chuck and I live in Old Tappan with our two youngest, Peyton and Landon. Between their activities and my own desire to stay active, life moves quickly. I love traveling and spending time with family and friends when we can carve out the moments. Those experiences remind me why the work I do matters: so people can actually live the lives they've been planning for.
