IMO, you want your advisor to be a fiduciary. I also would want an advisor that has no interest (fees!) in the products he/she sells; this is a major conflict of interest.
A good financial advisor might charge around 1% of amount invested, annually.
Check out
www.dfaus.com - Dimensional Fund Advisors - these guys are "Chicago School" and my favorite fund group. Individuals who invest in DFA funds must do so via an advisor. To get a list of advisors, go here:

Your advisor should only charge you an annual fee on your money invested, not for "buying" his/her products. Did I say that already?
FWIW.
