Friends might know someone. Some work at credit unions. Take your time.
Some work at insurance companies. No big company pushing products. The key is to compare options.

Real ones don't do that. No surprises. They should help you.
Find someone else. Watch for ones explore the map who sound fancy. The worst ones rush you.
How to work with them well
They can't help if they don't know. No dumb questions. Check in sometimes.
But it's your money. They need to know. The best ones adjust with you.
