Des Moines is one of the insurance capitals of the country, and plenty of people here work for a carrier or know someone who does. That usually means the questions are sharper: not “what is term insurance” but “why this carrier and not the one I work for.” We're fine with that. Being independent means we can put several companies' offers side by side, including ones headquartered a few miles from you, and let the numbers make the case.

How it works from Des Moines

Everything happens by phone or video.

We don't have a storefront in Des Moines. You talk with Victor M Robles Soto, a licensed producer, from wherever you are — most first conversations take 15 to 20 minutes.

We compare carriers instead of selling one.

Elavere is an independent agency appointed with several insurance companies. We look at what each one would offer for your age, health and budget and explain the differences plainly.

English or Spanish, your choice.

Every call, form and policy explanation is available in either language. Nothing gets lost between a translator and the fine print.

Questions we hear from Des Moines

I work in insurance. Why would I use an agent instead of buying direct?
Because appointed independent agents can quote carriers you can't buy from directly, and because underwriting outcomes differ from company to company for the same person. We'll run your profile across the carriers we represent and show you the spread. If your own employer's product wins, we'll say so.
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 Des Moines 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.
