OUR AGENCY — Who We Serve
We are a dual-purpose brokerage. We first advise clients about Long Term Care, Life, Disability, and Critical Illness insurance planning. We also dedicate a majority of our practice to guiding clients through the complexities of Long Term Care and those coverage options. Clients ask many questions about LTCI and we work to ensure that every client makes well-informed decisions. The process of purchasing insurance should be as straightforward and transparent as possible. Do our proposals offer flexibility choices? demonstrate how affordable and necessary insurance coverages are for the financial health and future needs of individuals and families.
Our agency also mentors financial advisors through the intricacies of the LTC Insurance sale (pre-underwriting inquiries, meeting with clients, responding to all client queries, customizing proposals, monitoring underwriting). Our agency assists the sellers of LTCI with education, marketing, product knowledge, underwriting, and Continuing Education.
We assure both clients and agents/financial advisors that the products we represent are up-to-date and have only the highest ratings/reliability.
