Why Life Insurance Pros
Independent agents. Multiple carriers. One phone call.
A captive agent can only sell you what their company offers. Our agents are independent, which means they quote the same application across many carriers and show you which one actually rates you best — because two insurers can price the same person hundreds of dollars a year apart.

Most applications finish by phone or e-signature. If a medical exam is required, a nurse comes to your home or office anywhere in DC.

Common questions
Life insurance questions we hear from DC residents
How much life insurance do I actually need?
A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income, then adjust for your mortgage balance, childcare and college costs, and any existing coverage. In a high-cost city like Washington, many families land between $500,000 and $1 million of term coverage. Your agent will walk through the math with you.
I'm a federal employee with FEGLI. Do I still need a private policy?
Often, yes. FEGLI Basic is convenient, but Option B premiums rise sharply every five years after age 35, and coverage shrinks or gets expensive after you retire. Many federal workers keep Basic and replace Option B with a level-premium private term policy that's locked in for 20 or 30 years. We can run both numbers for you.
Can I get life insurance without a medical exam?
Yes. Several carriers offer accelerated underwriting up to $1–2 million with no exam for healthy applicants, and simplified-issue and guaranteed-issue final expense policies are available for those with health conditions. Rates are sometimes a bit higher than fully underwritten coverage, so we'll show you both.
How much does term life insurance cost in Washington, DC?
Rates depend on age, health, tobacco use and the amount and length of coverage — not on your ZIP code. A healthy, non-smoking 30-year-old can typically get $250,000 of 20-year term for around $15–20 per month; a healthy 45-year-old, roughly $35–50 per month for the same policy.
Are your agents licensed in the District of Columbia?
Yes. Every agent we refer you to holds an active life insurance producer license with the DC Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB). Many are also licensed in Maryland and Virginia for families who live or work across the line.

What clients say
Trusted by families across the District
★★★★★"I'd put this off for years because I assumed it'd be expensive and complicated. One call, three quotes side by side, and I had a $750k term policy in place for less than my streaming subscriptions."
★★★★★"As a fed with FEGLI I didn't think I needed anything else. They showed me exactly what Option B would cost me at 50 and 55. Switched to a 30-year term and I'm saving money already."
★★★★★"Helped my mother get a final expense policy even with her health history. Patient, respectful, and they never once tried to upsell her. That meant a lot."
