Life Insurance & Annuities 101
I Work for You
I enjoy working with anyone that needs help but I especially love helping parents and business owners protect their assets and provide for their financial future.
As an agent for life insurance and annuities I actually have a fiduciary responsibility to you, the client. That means I am legally bound to do what is in YOUR best interest. Not mine or the companies I represent!
My goal is to educate you on your options so you can make a great decision to fit your needs. I never sell you anything.
That's it. (sounds simple right).
Annuities 101
A Great Way to Protect and Grow Your Money
Fixed Annuities
Protect your money with a 3,5 or 7 year fixed rate annuity. No fees, no risk, tax deferred growth, access to funds and a great fixed rate helps make this product one of the most popular annuities out there. These annuities are great for people looking for a safe place to put their money and still have guaranteed growth.
Indexed Annuities
With no annual fees, no risk, deferred tax growth, access to funds and lots of upside potential these annuities are becoming one of the most popular investment options out there. Simply put, when the index goes up your account goes up, when the index goes down your account stays up. Your account never has less than what you put into it.

LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES WITH LIVING BENEFITS
Did you know some life insurance policies come with “living benefits” too?
A critical illness benefit might pay you for a variety of health conditions (like cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc.).
A chronic illness benefit might pay you if you are unable to perform 2 or more daily living skills (like walking, bathing, eating, etc.).
A terminal illness benefit might pay you if you are not expected to live more than a certain period of time (usually 24 months or less) so you can enjoy what time you have left.
These are just some of the living benefits that can add great value to your life insurance policy, and I am happy to discuss them in more detail with you when we talk.
