I can’t say enough good things about Geoff Schacht and his colleagues. Their caring professionalism was ever-present in every discussion from the very first telephone exchange. Geoff treated me and my family with dignity and respect and communicated at every stage which was often several times a week.

I highly recommend this team for these sensitive and complex transactions.

Outstanding company to work with and Dan was great and handling his end of the deal.

Dan was outstanding in holding up his end of our negotiations and stay in close touch with us. He got us the most money he could get for us for my policy and got it done expeditiously. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and if I had another life policy I would certainly work with him again. Dan was a total gentleman throughout the entire negotiation and my wife and I have great faith in him and his ability to be a very honest businessman. It was a pleasure working with him. Even though everything was done over the telephone he was honest, sincere and worked expeditiously to get this deal done. Thank you Dan. Marc Lubet

Greg made it easy!

It was great working with Greg during the entire process as he was very thorough and detailed in explaining each step through completion. Then, once all of the required paperwork was finished, I received prompt payment on the settlement amount.

Darren was very easy to work with

Darren was very easy to work with. Kept the expectations realistic and very open to how the process works. Glad I reviewed my options for an expiring term policy with Ovid.

Geoff is a keeper

Geoff is a keeper! He has a great future in the business. As the owner of a sales training company I might not be the easiest client anyone has.
Geoff sailed right along. He's quick to respond. He has a caring attitude and goes the extra mile to get the job done. If I do more work like this I'll definitely be calling on Geoff! Five Star all the way.

Darren always kept me up to date on the details of my sale to Life Equity. My policy was unusual and the first of its kind for Darren. He kept after the insurance company to get the transaction completed. He was always professional with me.

Dan from Life Equity was fantastic.

We worked with agent Dan who was very knowledgeable, polite, professional, well informed. Selling our life insurance policy turned out to be very challenging emotionally and Dan knew how to let us ask and then answer all our questions respectfully.
