Cedar Gold Group Review

Cedar Gold Group is a Miami based precious metals dealer that sells physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, and helps clients roll retirement accounts into self directed precious metals IRAs.

At Gold Investor Research, we get asked about this company often enough that we pulled together everything we could verify: who runs it, how the rollover process works, what it actually costs, and what its Better Business Bureau and Trustpilot records show.

This is not sponsored content and Cedar Gold Group did not review this article before publication.

Key Points

• Cedar Gold Group has been BBB accredited since April 15, 2026, and its Trustpilot reviews run positive, but the volume of reviews is still small enough that a handful of complaints could shift the average quickly.
• The company does not publish a fee schedule for storage, wire transfers, or annual maintenance, so ask for an itemized quote in writing before you fund an account or authorize a wire.

Who Runs Cedar Gold Group

Cedar Gold Group is headquartered in Downtown Miami and is led by CEO Brett Bultje, who holds a Certificate of Completion in Alternative Investments.

The company positions itself as an education first dealer rather than a high volume sales operation, and its marketing leans on two visible partnerships: a sponsorship deal with the Miami Marlins and an endorsement from Olympic decathlete Bryan Clay.

 Those partnerships tell you about brand building budget. They do not tell you much about pricing or service quality, so we looked past them for the rest of this review.

How the Rollover Process Works

Cedar Gold Group describes a three step process. A specialist has an intake conversation about your goals, timeline, and account type. The company's team then handles the paperwork to move funds out of an existing 401(k), IRA, or Thrift Savings Plan.

Finally, you select IRS approved metals, which ship to an insured depository. The company names Delaware Depository as its storage partner and references Lloyd's of London for insurance coverage.

According to the company, most accounts are funded within three days once paperwork is submitted.

This structure is not unique to Cedar Gold Group. Because IRS rules for self directed precious metals IRAs are standardized, most dealers in this space run a version of the same process: open account, move funds, buy metal, ship to depository.

What differs from one dealer to the next is pricing, communication, and what happens if you ever want your money back.

What It Actually Costs

Cedar Gold Group advertises no setup fees and "zero liquidation fees" through its buyback policy. What the site does not publish is a specific number for storage, annual maintenance, or wire transfer costs.

That is common in this industry, but it makes comparison shopping harder without a phone call. For a sense of what a published fee schedule looks like, here is how a competitor compares on the numbers it discloses:

According to the company's FAQ page, clients typically open accounts in the $25,000 to $50,000 range, though the IRS itself sets no minimum for a precious metals IRA.

 That minimum is a Cedar Gold Group preference, not a legal requirement, and it is worth confirming directly since minimums shift.

IRS Rules That Apply No Matter Who You Use

Some of what shows up on Cedar Gold Group's site is not company specific. It is federal law. Under IRC Section 408(m)(3), four metals qualify for IRA inclusion, each with a purity floor:

For 2026, IRA contribution limits are $7,000 for savers under 50 and $8,000 for those 50 and older, while a SEP IRA can accept up to $69,000. None of that applies to a rollover though.

Moving an existing 401(k) or IRA into precious metals has no annual dollar cap, which is why most Cedar Gold Group clients fund through a rollover rather than new contributions.

What BBB and Trustpilot Show

Cedar Gold Group's BBB profile lists accreditation starting April 15, 2026, with an A+ rating and reviews describing responsive staff and patient handling of rollover paperwork.

On Trustpilot, the company sits in "Excellent" territory around 4.3 out of 5 stars, built on a relatively small review count, fewer than 15 as of mid 2025 by our last check, though the company has since promoted a figure above 100 combined reviews across Google and Trustpilot in its own press materials.

We were not able to independently verify that combined number, so treat it as a company claim rather than a confirmed figure.

Cedar Gold Group's own site publishes a useful red flag list for the industry generally: watch for high pressure tactics, markups well above spot price, vague fee structures, and no BBB history.

That's sound advice, and to its credit, applying that same checklist to Cedar Gold Group itself does not turn up obvious problems.

The one item worth flagging is the vague fee structure point, since Cedar Gold Group's own pricing page falls into the category it warns against.

Where Gold Prices Stand Right Now

Context matters here because the metal itself, not just the dealer, drives your outcome. Spot gold traded near $4,400 an ounce on September 8, 2026, up roughly 20 percent from a year earlier.

Central bank buying has been a consistent driver of that move. China's central bank added to its gold reserves for a 19th consecutive month as of May 2026, pushing its holdings to 74.96 million fine troy ounces.

HSBC's 2026 forecast puts a full year trading range of $3,950 to $5,050 an ounce, with volatility expected in both directions depending on Federal Reserve policy and geopolitical risk.

None of that is specific to Cedar Gold Group. But it matters for anyone reading a dealer review right now,

because entering a gold IRA at $4,400 an ounce carries different risk than entering at $2,000, which is roughly where gold traded three years ago.

A dealer's buyback promise only means something if you understand what happens to your position if spot price falls back toward the middle of that HSBC range.

Our Take

Cedar Gold Group looks like a legitimate, mid sized gold IRA dealer with a clean early BBB record and reasonably happy customers.

The marketing spend on sports sponsorships and celebrity endorsements is real, and it's fair to ask whether that spend gets built into premiums, since dealers don't sponsor a Major League Baseball team for free.

Before you commit, get three things in writing: the exact premium over spot for whatever coin or bar you're buying, the full annual cost of storage and insurance, and the buyback terms if you need liquidity in a falling market.

Compare those numbers against at least one other established dealer, Birch Gold Group or another with a published fee schedule works fine, and make your decision on the math rather than the marketing.
