Life Insurance
Many people do not like the idea of paying for life insurance, but know that they need it. You can protect your loved ones and help your family avoid a financial shipwreck. The philosophy of Summit Financial Networks, Inc. is to start with the client's perspective. Life insurance—what do people want?
- An advocate that will shop for the best prices—not push the “company” plan
- To talk to a real person, not a web site
- An independent agent with access to multiple quality insurers
- An agent licensed and experienced in all types of life insurance
- An agent that will provide options—not push the product with the highest commission
- An agent that will clearly explain the differences between options
- An agent who is available to answer questions about the policy once it is in force
- An agent that can clearly explain the tax features of insurance products (tax advice should be from a qualified tax advisor)
