Aug 30, 2020
This is a subtitle for your new post
That is exactly what I want to hear when a client is talking to me about Life Insurance. Let’s talk about life insurance NOW, not later. It’s on my mind right now because my sister-in-law passed away last week.
It’s really a lot simpler than you think. Consider the following and then give me a call or log on to our website at www.gen-ins.com and click on the life insurance tab and get your own quote within minutes.
- TERM life insurance is usually less expensive than you think.
- A TERM life insurance quote costs you nothing.
- TERM life insurance lasts for a set amount of time. You choose that amount of time at the beginning of coverage.
- I can get you a TERM quote either for what you think your budget can handle or the amount of coverage you think your family will need.
- The #1 reason people delay purchasing coverage is because they think their budget can't handle it. Considre the impact to your budget if a breadwinner passes away without coverage.
- You can provide financial security for your children and spouse by completing a short application, cooperating with a short physical and having an amount you are comfortable with automatically withdrawn from your checking account.
- The most common misconception I hear is someone thinking they have sufficient life insurance through their employer. What if you become sick, can no longer work and no longer have access to that group life insurance policy provided by your previous employer?
I can have you a quote the same day.
Let me do that for you, then you decide if it is too expensive for your budget.

Our neighbors work hard at maintaining the front yard of their property. It’s beautiful to look at and always decorated for the Holidays. Just after Christmas the yard was still decorated for Christmas but it was also filled with dirt, pipes, mud and a tractor. It was concerning. We tried to help. We brought Dinner, helped take down the Christmas decorations and even helped level the ground once the broken pipe was located and repaired. It was an opportunity to be a good neighbor but we could have been a better neighbor if we had spoken to them earlier about the Service Line Protection Endorsement offered by Mercury with their Homeowners Policy. Did you know that it is Your responsibility to repair or replace any service lines on your property that connect with municipality lines when the damage occurs on your residence property? Did you also know that your Standard Homeowners Policy does not provide coverage for these lines and they can be costly to repair? Service Line Protection, a new enhancement to the Mercury homeowners policy offers coverage for service lines to the insured-owned, exterior and underground Water piping, Sewer piping, Ground loop piping, and power lines that provide electrical service. The best part is that it costs just a few $$ per month. Be a good neighbor, be a good homeowner, talk to us, your MERCURY AGENT about how we can help. Ask us about Service Line Protection.
