Eastern Iowa mixes manufacturing and healthcare employers with a lot of farm families and small businesses, and those last two groups have needs that group insurance never addresses. A farm or a business changing hands usually needs a policy sized to a specific debt or buyout, and final-expense coverage is a common request from older clients who want to settle things ahead of time. We do this work by phone and video across Linn and Johnson counties.

Questions we hear from Cedar Rapids

We farm. What kind of life insurance makes sense for a family operation?
Usually a term policy sized to the land or equipment debt and to the years until the operation could stand on its own, sometimes paired with a smaller permanent policy for estate or final expenses. The right structure depends on who takes over and what they'd owe. We'll map that out before we quote anything.
Do I have to meet you in person?
No. Everything — the first conversation, the application and the policy delivery — happens by phone, video or e-mail. Our business office is in Chicago and we work with Cedar Rapids families remotely, which is how most of our clients prefer it.
Are you actually licensed in Iowa?
Yes. Victor M Robles Soto is licensed in Iowa (NPN 22305583). You can verify a producer's license on the Iowa Insurance Division website. Both numbers also appear in the footer of every page on this site.
Which insurance companies do you work with?
Elavere is independent and appointed with several carriers, so we can show you more than one company's answer. Which companies fit depends on your age, health history and the kind of coverage you want; we'll tell you which ones we're comparing and why.
Do life insurance rates change by city?
Not in a meaningful way. Carriers price life insurance on your age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount and policy length — not on your ZIP code. What changes from place to place is the kind of coverage people need, and that's the part of the conversation we spend the most time on.
What does the first call cost?
Nothing, and it doesn't obligate you to anything. If you apply for a policy and it's approved, the insurance company pays our agency a commission; you never pay us a fee.
