Contact Our El Paso Life Insurance Agents by Phone

The phone is the only way to reach us. One conversation lets us ask the right questions, explain how each policy is built and tell you exactly what comes next.

What to Expect on the Call

First we ask what the coverage has to accomplish: replacing income, paying off a mortgage, handling final expenses or supporting retirement. Then we pair that goal with a policy structure. Term life is often the cheapest way to get a large benefit, since it pays only if death occurs within the years you choose, such as 20 or 30, and ends after that. Whole life grows cash value at a fixed rate, which makes the premium higher. Universal life allows you to change the premium and the benefit as your needs shift.

After that we walk you through underwriting, including any health questions or exam, and quote you by phone. If you would like time to decide or to talk it over with your beneficiary, we schedule a follow-up call. We submit nothing until you give the go-ahead. Someone calling from Socorro or Canutillo gets the same process as someone in central El Paso, all done by phone.

What to Have Ready Before You Call

  1. Your date of birth, height, weight and any tobacco or nicotine use in the past year, since these set your rate class.
  2. A list of current prescriptions and major diagnoses, because underwriters ask about them directly.
  3. Any life policy you already own, including group coverage through work.
  4. A rough figure for debts, your mortgage balance and the years of income your family would need.
