Together we create a plan to fill in the gaps of what you have in place now and determine how much and what type of insurance is needed to protect your family and business if something were to happen to you. Common life insurance protection needs are home, income, children’s education, obligations, or legacy considerations. We educate our clients and strive to put a strong emphasis on simplification during our entire process.

III. Implementation
Exploring and recommending different strategies with individuals and business owners and helping to put a comprehensive plan into action that meets your needs and budget. Implementation requires applying and acting on the plan and matching the best carrier with the right type and amount of coverage to create peace of mind planning for your loved ones.

IV. Reviewing & Staying In Touch
Life changes are inevitable. The key to a successful plan is reviewing on a regular basis and adapting to your ever-changing world with periodic financial checkups. We help to make the adjustments needed so your plan stays on course and accomplishes what it was put in place to do.

Retirement Planning & Fixed Annuities


Fixed annuities are designed to accumulate tax-deferred money with principal that isn’t subject to market volatility. Annuities are generally considered a safer option than other investments. Not only do fixed annuities offer guaranteed interest accumulation but also protection for the principal sum, making them a fantastic option for retirement. You can create a dependable retirement foundation that can help grow your money over time—guaranteed—and even provide a regular income stream for life. It can help you live your retirement dreams with more certainty and keep those dreams on track

Guaranteed Retirement Income


Today, many retirees can spend more years in retirement than they did in their working years. Many fear they will run out of money if they live too long. Let us help you create a guaranteed retirement income that you cannot outlive when you retire. We can help you set up an annuity with a portion of the retirement assets you already have, either with a one-time lump sum or a series of payments. Depending on the type of annuity, you can choose how to fund and when to receive income payments.

Immediate Annuities – Create a guaranteed income stream for life immediately. Some of our carriers even pay a dividend after the 1st anniversary of the contract.
Note: Dividends aren’t guaranteed and are declared each year by the mutual carriers The Harbs Group is appointed with.
Deferred Annuities – Create a guaranteed income stream for life for a future date. You can contribute on a regular basis up to 13 months before your income start date. Some of our carriers even pay a dividend after the 1st anniversary of the contract.
Note: Dividends aren’t guaranteed and are declared each year by the mutual carriers The Harbs Group is appointed with.
