Three questions to start. No medical questions, no obligation, and nothing shared with anyone outside our agency.
The Twin Cities have a large share of households with group coverage through a big employer, and a large share of people approaching retirement who are asking what replaces it. Those are two different conversations. For working families it's about an individual policy that follows you between jobs and covers the mortgage and the years the kids are home. For people within ten years of retiring it's about income — where an annuity might fit next to a 401(k) or pension, and where it shouldn't. We do both by phone and video, in English or Spanish, anywhere in the seven-county metro.
How much coverage a Twin Cities household usually needs
A carrier prices your policy on age and health, never on address. How much you need, though, is almost entirely about where you live and what you owe. The median home in the city of Minneapolis is valued at about $362,200 and the median household earns about $80,846 a year. Paying off a house at that price and replacing ten years of that income adds up to close to $1.17 million of coverage.
Metro incomes are the highest of any market we serve outside Austin, and it is the income-replacement half of that figure — not the mortgage — that pushes it past a million. Once the mortgage is gone and the children are grown the whole calculation changes shape, and the question becomes retirement income rather than protection; our annuities and retirement income page is the other half of that conversation.
English or Spanish, either way
20.1% of Minneapolis residents age five and over speak a language other than English at home. Every call, form and policy explanation is available in English or Spanish with Victor directly.

If a Minnesota insurance company ever failed
Every company we place business with is licensed in Minnesota, and the Department of Commerce takes complaints at 651-539-1600, or 800-657-3602 outside the Twin Cities. If a life insurer became insolvent, the Minnesota Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association would cover up to $500,000 in death benefits and $130,000 in net cash surrender value per insured life, with total liability capped at $500,000 for any one life. Minnesota protects more than Texas or Iowa do — the limits are set state by state and are worth knowing before you pick a carrier. We tell you which company is issuing your policy, and why, before you apply.
