Questions Before Quotes

Many people call us with a number already in mind. A relative said ten times your income, a coworker bought a certain policy, or an ad promised a low monthly rate. Those are fair starting points, but they skip the part that decides whether coverage actually works: your debts, your income, how long others will rely on it, and what you already carry through work.

So our first conversation is mostly listening. We ask about your mortgage balance and the years left on it, the ages of your kids, whether your spouse works, any group coverage through an employer, and what you would want handled at the end, such as funeral costs. If you own a policy now, we read it with you, including the beneficiary designations. Those are often out of date after a marriage, a divorce or a new child.

Only then do we talk about policy types. Sometimes the answer is a simple term life policy that runs until the mortgage is paid off. Sometimes it is whole life or universal life for lasting coverage, final expense insurance for an older parent, or retirement income planning. And sometimes the honest answer is that what you have is close to right and needs one small change.
