Fast Eddie's reputation is that they gouge their customers in many ways. One is selling expensive annuities, which I know to be a fact from what they did to a financially naive friend of mine. Before I got him out of their clutches he owned "four or five" annuities. At least a couple of them were arranged so that they could not be moved to another firm.
I have read that their reps get only sales training, no investment training at all.
I think your best alternatives are VG, Schwab, and Fidelity. All three have good reputations here and many happy clients. Differences are minor; VG tends to be less personal and the cheapest, Schwab and Fido are similar in most respects with Fido maybe being a little more aggressive in upselling clients to more profitable products than mutual funds. With $900K, if you want more support than VG offers, I would negotiate for a 1% fee. 1.5% is too much for that size portfolio IMO.
Garret Planning Network and napfa.org seem to get positive reviews around here, but I have no personal experience. Both offer financial planning on a fee-for-service basis. For example, a couple of $K to work with you to develop a plan, then offer less expensive reviews periodically. "Fee only" advisors do not get paid commissions, but most offer "wrap fees" like the 1 1/2% that Fast Eddie is pitching.
Most here would advise you to avoid wrap fees (aka AUM/assets under management). One common aphorism is" By the time you have learned enough to select a good advisor, you don't need one any more."
