How we work
Recommendations within your state and carrier options.
Before we discuss specific products or help you apply for coverage, we confirm your state of residence and, when applicable, the state in which a policy would be issued. We then limit our discussion to carriers and products that are available in that state.
We do not provide product-specific recommendations or accept applications in states where the required licenses or appointments are not in place.
In practice, this means:
- We confirm your state before reviewing specific policy options.
- We only discuss carriers that are available and appropriately appointed in that state.
- We may refer you elsewhere if we are not able to serve your state at this time.
- Your final policy, if approved and issued, is always a contract between you and the carrier.
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of eligibility or approval. Carrier underwriting guidelines, product availability, and state regulations can change over time.
