Our Clients Say It Best!

Great Rates and Good Coverage

"Mark saved me a lot of money on my insurance. He also took the time to explain to me exactly what I needed to adequately cover my family and my businesses. I now carry life, home, car, and business liability insurace with Mark. Mark is a great guy and I would definitely recommend him if you're in the market for insurance." -Paul Jones, Elements Laser Spa, Austin, TX

Buying Insurance is Like Buying a Bike

"...depending on the agent, they may try to sell you 'junk' you don't need or leave you under covered... oftentimes, just getting the cheapest basic coverage from company X 'is not the best' for the policy holder in the end.
For instance, take the recent hail storm in North Austin. Mark was on the phone with all of his clients affected and was able to get them quicker evaluations and rental cars because he has relationships with his clients, unlike some random call center person..." -Sean Hanna, Source Wellness Center, Westlake Hills / Austin, TX

Buying Insurance is Like Buying a Bike (cont.)

"...Buying insurance is like buying a bike. Having someone in the business that knows how to help you evaluate what you want and what you want to spend is invaluable, as long as you can trust them to have your interests at heart. I know Mark personally, and he's that kind of guy." -Sean Hanna, Source Wellness Center, Westlake Hills / Austin, TX

Exceptional Insurance Agent (cont.)

"...This relationship was much more personal, sincere, and genuine!

I would recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for the smartest way to secure their future!" - Andrew Yap, Austin, TX

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DIE... Print

L

ife insurance is a simple concept -- you buy a policy that pays to your beneficiary or beneficiaries when you die -- but the decisions of what kind life insurance to purchase, how much of a death benefit and how much you pay are extremely complex.

* Note. There are more than 2,000 companies selling life insurance in this country. Some are very good, financially solid companies; others are not so sound. A company’s financial strength is vitally important to you because, hopefully, no one is going to collect on your life insurance for a long time.

You want to make sure your life insurer will be around for the long haul. How do you do this? You can consult a seasoned insurance professional, which is probably your best bet, or you can look at how various independent organizations “rate” the life insurers you are considering. Ratings are like school grades, A+, A, A-, B+, etc. In general, it’s wise to stick with companies that are rated A or better by most rating organizations.

Many Purposes for Life Insurance

Life insurance is far more than just a decision of how much to buy. Depending on your financial situation, life insurance can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

* Tip. Whatever kind of policy you buy, you should make sure it provides enough of a death benefit to meet your family’s needs if you aren’t here. So when you consider buying life insurance, start off with a number in mind of what your family must have in terms of a death benefit. Don’t lose sight of this number.

What kinds of life insurance policies are there?

There are several, but keep in mind that the terms and costs of the policies vary widely among insurers.

There are two basic types:

What You Need to Know about Term Life Insurance Print

T

erm life policies provide coverage for specific periods of time, sometimes as little as one year. While you usually can renew term life policies for one or more terms even if your health has changed, there’s potentially a big risk here if you get sick during the term.

* Tip. If your health does change, you probably won’t be able to buy another term without seeing your premium skyrocket. You should ask your insurer or agent what the premium will be if you continue to renew the policy.

* Note. You should also ask whether you will lose the right to renew the policy when you reach a certain age. Because this coverage is fairly cheap, it’s often a good option for young people in good health who can’t afford to buy a cash value life policy.

Two common features you may find, and should look for in term life policies:
