Why Use an Agent?

Almost all life insurance companies in Ohio sell their products through agents, rather than directly to the public. Some companies use "captive" agents, who can only represent one company. The most competitive term life insurance providers (such as those featured at this site) use independent agents, who are free to represent several companies. These agents can help you select from a variety of products and companies in Ohio to customize a policy.

The premium rate is set by the company, and it cannot be changed by the agent. The price you pay for a certain product will be the same no matter where you buy it. "Price shopping" for an agent in Ohio will provide little benefit, assuming that you have the basic product and pricing information to know what to ask for. We shop a large number of companies, view the life insurance companies we shop, based on price, coverage, how they will underwrite you, stability, etc. So, we are more likely to find the best plan at the lowest price than other life insurance agents in Ohio. There is no disadvantage and there are many advantages to using a knowledgeable broker to guide you in the right direction, so don't hesitate to have us help you find the best plan for your needs.

Do you want a more accurate quote? Fill out our Life Insurance Pre-screen and we can find out which company works best for you. For example, some carriers in Ohio don't count cigar or chewing tobacco as a smoker rate, some companies will still give pilots a preferred rating, all companies have different standards for cholesterol, blood pressure, driving record, etc. Having us do an underwriting pre-screen will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Ohio Life Insurance Solutions

Life insurance companies in Ohio offer a variety of choices to meet the individual financial needs for every situation. The three most common types of Policies are term life , whole life insurance, and universal life insurance. A term life policy pays out its face value only if you die during the selected term. Normally, if you have not used the death benefit when the term runs out, the policy expires. However, return of premium policies are becoming very popular as an alternative to typical term life insurance and even whole life and universal life policies. Building cash value with a permanent policy means paying high premiums (2 to 3 times as much for the same coverage). While an unused term policy can feel like a waste. Return of Premium (ROP) Term is an elegant and effective new solution that splits the problem up the middle. It starts out like Term Life Insurance with one extra promise from the carrier: If you pay your premiums and you live, we’ll give you your money back. On a normal 20 year Level Term Life Insurance policy the ROP benefit may cost about 30% more, but that extra premium will effectively earn you a 6-7% return over the 20 years, guaranteed -– just enough to earn you back everything you’ve paid in. What’s in it for the insurance company? Your loyalty. Life insurance companies spend a lot of money to get your business, and only start making a profit if you stick around more than five years or so. ROP guarantees that lots of customers stay for the full term. And, for those that don’t, the carrier made an extra 30% on those guys -– and used some of it to pay you a solid return on your money for sticking around and living. So if you know that you are going to be insured for the entire term, then think about paying a little more for the ROP benefit and getting it all back in the end. We would be happy to give you the price of a term life policy and compare it with the same amount of ROP term and do the math to see if ROP term would be a good investment.

A whole life insurance policy pays out its face value whenever you die. In the early years of a whole life policy, the premiums are much higher than the customer would pay with a term life insurance policy. These up-front overpayments are what keep the later payments reasonable. Otherwise, as you grow older, your premiums would need to increase substantially to keep up with the risk of insuring you. Level Premium Whole Life policies require premiums to be paid your whole life. Limited-pay whole life policies require higher payments for only a few years.

A universal life insurance policy is more flexible and less expensive than a whole life insurance plan, but the guarantees are lower on the interest rates. Premiums may be increased or decreased by the policyholder within policy limits in order to change the policy as needs change. The amount of insurance may be increased, subject to evidence of insurability, or decreased subject to minimums set by each insurance carrier. Loans can be taken from the policy once is has gained a cash value, but can reduce the cash surrender value and death benefit. Withdrawals may also be taken but can also reduce the cash surrender value and face amount.
