The best agent in California is not Ari Gold. Nor is it real life counterpart Ari Emanuel. Nor is it Scott Boras (for you baseball fans). Nor is it whomever gets Robert Pattison roles (no offense). Not even close.
The best agent in California and, likely, the world, is Sandra Condon of Coastal Life & Heath. And I can say this - legitimately - without ever having met her in person or ever having procured insurance through her agency. Lemme explain ...
In short (had to cut this down to fit): Sandra's Coastal Life & Health Insurance doesn't operate in my state. But she was nice enough to call me back to let me know that. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Get this: She then proceeded (unprompted by me) to help me for days, via email, via phone, via every way she could to help me navigate the murky waters I was in, secure the right insurance, ask the right questions, *everything*. Despite the fact there was absolutely nothing in it for her - no commission, nothing - other than doing the right thing and a love for her job.
But wait there's more: Sandra on multiple occasions was apologetic to me because she thought she was taking up too much of *my* time with her help and suggestions. She's working for free, to help some stranger across the country, and she's apologetic about the fact that she might be offering too much help. Unbelievable. It was like some bizarro world where people actually enjoyed helping each other. I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't 1955 and gentlemen weren't wearing suits and hats to baseball games.
And Sandra knows this stuff stone cold. She is to health & life insurance like Steven Hawking is to quantum physics. At one point, she even gave me a question to ask to a local agent I subsequently found (who sucked) that saved me from getting insurance that would have likely been disastrous in the event I ever had a kidney-related issue. Let's see Stephen Hawking do that!
P.S. If it wasn't clear, I had a positive experience
