Welcome

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Beginning February 1, 2026, two highly respected Merrill teams—The Van Rhein Landy Genovese Group and The Taxman Specter Wealth Management Group—are joining forces to create one dynamic team: The Landy Taxman Van Rhein Genovese Team.

This merger is more than a name change—it is a commitment to bringing you deeper resources and a unified team dedicated to helping you pursue your vision for the future. Our teams have collaborated for years, and this union reflects our shared values, ethics, and passion for guiding you toward lasting success. We remain in the same Merrill office and have the same email and phone.
