Aren't fees typically tiered depending on how much is being managed? Seems like this might be a driving factor.

AUM Financial Advisors are the Real Estate Agents of investing. Paying a percentage is criminal.

As far as the OP goes, find a for-fee-only advisor if you want to get confirmation your initial planning is good while you buy yourself time to get educated. There's a lot of free information out there (Bogleheads comes to mind, even though I don't follow their methods). Switching from growing your assets to producing income is a significant change. There are a lot of options, but it depends on how much risk you're willing to take.

Correct, as in this case, hence my estimate or average of his current fees. His % is actually a small fraction higher than previous FA but makes up for it in service.
I'm not in any hurry to change, just thinking things will stabilize sometime into retirement and won't need the premium his service provides
