A letter from the founders
Why we started GetSure.
GetSure is an independent agency, and we do one thing: help people buy a fixed annuity without the runaround. We started it because the usual way had gotten needlessly hard — a call before you’ve seen a single number, pressure dressed up as helpfulness, a teaser rate that quietly drops after the first year. We wanted no part of that, so we built a firm to do it the other way around: show you the real number first, and let it do the talking.
What we do
There are two things we help with, and we’ll keep it plain. The first is the highest guaranteed rate we can find on money you won’t need to touch for a few years — the kind the industry calls a MYGA. The second turns a lump sum into a guaranteed monthly check for the rest of your life. We don’t issue either one; we’re not the insurance company. Our job is to compare the top-rated carriers, find the one that actually fits you, and handle the paperwork. We’re licensed in all 50 states.
How we’re paid
Most firms save this part for last, so we’ll put it first. The carrier pays us a commission, and we put it in writing before a dollar of your money moves. You never pay us a fee. And it never changes your rate — the number you see is the insurer’s own filed rate, the same whether you come to us or walk into their office yourself. We’d rather you know exactly how we make our money than wonder about it.
What we believe
A few things we hold to. No pressure — you look at your own numbers, on your own time, and you talk to a licensed advisor only if you decide you want one. The rate you see is the rate you get, with no markup and no teaser that resets on you. And if a plain bank CD is a better fit for your money than an annuity, we’ll tell you — even when it means we don’t earn a dime. We’re independent, so we can afford to be honest.
Who we are
We’re a small firm, on purpose. Between us we’ve spent the better part of two decades in the insurance business — long enough to see how it usually works, and to want to do it better. When you call, a licensed advisor who actually knows annuities picks up, not a call center reading off a script. What we set out to do was simple: rebuild a little of the trust between insurance agents and the people they’re meant to serve. That’s still the whole idea.
If that’s the kind of firm you’d want in your corner, we’re glad you found us. Take your time — and you’re always welcome to look up our licenses before you say a word to us.
