Excellent service

By Thea W., San Benito, TX, Verified Reviewer

Coventry and its agents are awesome people to deal with.

They are extremely professional and very easy to deal with. I was updated in a timely fashion regarding the progress of my submission of my policy. My only regret was that I did not start this process early in the life of the policy. I highly recommend Coventry.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Coventry services

By James J., Philadelphia, PA, Verified Reviewer

I can't say enough about Coventry and Scott Kalbfleisch. He was very professional and informative about the company and how you help folks like myself turn term insurance (convertible) into cash now and also save a portion of the policy for the beneficiary to take care of expenses at the time of my death.

Scott was with me the entire process and explained every detail to the fullest so it was an easy transition. Scott is definitely an asset to the company.

Thanks again Coventry and Scott for taking such good care of me.

Fair and honest review

By Mamad A., San Clemente, CA, Verified Reviewer

I was intending to sell my Term Life Insurance to an entity.

I was introduced to Coventry Direct. I became very interested to sell my term life insurance to them. I was pretty surprised when one of them called me to get acquainted with me. After so many calls I was finally introduced to Scott whom I regarded as a dear friend.

He was the one who introduced me to the process and walked me through. I am so indebted to him. I will also recommend him to anyone who wants to sell his or her life insurance.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great service. Constant communication. Thanks Kelley!

By Zubin Jhurani, Laredo, Texas, Verified Reviewer

When my father was looking for a company to purchase his existing life insurance policy, we decided to contact Coventry Direct. I'm so glad we did! Kelley Rooney, our representative, was AWESOME. From beginning to end, she had constant communication with me, and the utmost professionalism in handling our file. She is great at her craft and very sensitive to the client's needs. She helped my dad get a fair settlement. Thanks Kelley, you're the best! 10/10 stars!

Coventry got the job done!

By Lynn Rosen, Phoenix, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I wanted to share my experience with Coventry.com.

Feeling a bit skeptical after seeing a late night commercial, I looked into it to see what it was about and if it was legit. While I found the company to be a bit unorganized and slow to process and approve my life settlement, my advisor Billy Gu did a really good job. He constantly kept in touch to let me know where it was in the process and contacted me immediately when I got approved.

Billy even went the extra mile and did a three-way phone call with me to my insurance company when I could not find the original paperwork. This helped alleviate the stress and hassle on my end.

All in all, because of Billy's expertise it was a good experience. I do advise anybody who's going through this process to read the contract carefully, and then make an educated decision if this is best for you.

Thank you again Billy Gu!

Kelly Rooney is the best!

By George Ashford, Kennesaw, GA, Verified Reviewer

Kelley Rooney took ownership of my application on day one and continued to work with me throughout the process and up to and including the fund's transfer.

If you decide to apply to Coventry Direct, be sure to ask for Kelley. By the time the process was completed, I felt like I had know Kelley for years!

Wonderful, helpful people

By Barbara Welton, Magalia, CA, Verified Reviewer

Our experience with Coventry was excellent from the first phone call until our money appeared in our bank account. KELLY ROONEY was our contact person, and she took care of us as if we were family. She knew our situation and the anxiety we felt over my husband's cancer and an impending move. She called and kept us in the loop as to what was happening, the timeline, and just what to expect. She got things done even though our case was a difficult one dealing with the life insurance company we had. I will certainly tell others where to go when there seems to be no hope. Thank you all at Coventry Direct.

Highly recommend!

By Jackie R., Jonesborough, TN, Verified Reviewer

Several months ago I decided to explore the sale of a life insurance policy. At the time I knew little of the process or what to expect by way of valuation. Internet research revealed several companies that advertised their interest in purchasing life insurance policies.

After contacting several companies and discussing the transactions, I experienced a difference in how I was treated. Some companies were reluctant to answer my specific question or supply me with explanatory information. Other companies acted as if they were doing me a favor. The offers to purchase varied from ridiculously low to what I considered fair and reasonable.

The most informative and courteous contacts were with Scott Kalbfleisch a Regional Director of Coventry. He took time to explain the transaction in detail including possible tax ramifications. He supplied explanatory literature and referenced applicable laws as well as IRS regulations. I was able to independently verify Scott's explanations with the reference information provided.

During the negation process, Scott was at all times courteous and responsive to my inquiries. All of my phone calls were promptly returned (even on weekends.) The offers made by Coventry were reasonable and not arbitrary. As a result of my dealings with Scott, I was able to make an educated analysis of my available options and make an informed decision. I would highly recommend Scott Kalbfleisch.

After many discussions with Scott, I entered into a sale agreement with Coventry.

I recommend Coventry to anyone who is interested in the sale of a life insurance policy. The treatment I received was fair, courteous, educational and informative. Additionally, the execution and submission of documents to complete the transaction was fully explained. The purchase funds were promptly received.

Sold my Term Life Insurance to Coventry

By Phillip W., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I had a 15-year term life insurance policy which was about to expire within 3 months (I'm 57). The premiums to continue it were astronomical. For me to convert it to a whole life policy meant the premium would increase from $1,230/year to $37,000/year (NOT a Typo - $37K). Plus, I had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. The premium increase was out of the question for me to continue the policy, so it was going to simply expire.

I contacted Coventry and dealt with Scott Kalbfleisch. From day one Scott was a consummate professional. He reviewed my health and policy details meticulously and made me an offer to buy my policy and take over the premiums. Within 6 weeks we completed all paperwork and the cash was directly deposited into my account within 24 hours of being told that all paperwork was finalized.

I was able to clear all my medical and credit card debt and still have over $100,000 remaining for emergencies.

I cannot praise Scott enough for keeping me constantly apprised of where we were in the process, and demonstrating the highest degree of professionalism and concern for my well-being. If you are in the difficult situation of facing a terminal illness and have a policy that you'll never see the benefits from, call Coventry and ask to speak to Scott.

Our experience with Peter Hershon

By Reed B., Lebec, CA, Verified Reviewer

My wife and I saw the commercial for Coventry on TV. We had an increase on our premiums for our Life Insurance policy and gave Coventry a call. Everyone we talked to was very helpful.

Peter Hershon called us and told us everything we needed to do. He walked us through the paperwork. He was always available when we had questions or got back to us as soon as he could.

Once we sent in all the paperwork and had a phone interview, we received our payment within two weeks.

We are very happy with our decision to sell our policy to Coventry.

Travis Conrad of Coventry

By Mary C., Gainesville, FL, Verified Reviewer

When I began to research the possibility of selling a term policy I had owned for thirty years, I contacted several providers of the service including Coventry Direct. I spoke with several life settlement brokers before speaking with Travis Conrad. I found Travis to be a listener first, which relieved the majority of my anxiety, he was patient and willing to answer all my questions. He explained the process clearly, provided me with the documents I needed in a timely manner and found me a buyer offering a satisfactory amount of cash. The process took several months and Travis was available every step of the way. I appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile for me. I would recommend Coventry's Travis Conrad to all seeking a life settlement professional.

By Kay L., Lufkin, TX, Verified Reviewer

It was a very positive experience. As a former teacher and current lending officer for a large bank, I deal with a large number of businesses and consumer customers. In all these years, I have never dealt with a more efficient company than Coventry. My contact was Dan Glod. He was very caring about my husband’s problems and did a fantastic job of offering the best solution and meeting our needs in a timely manner. He is extremely professional. I would recommend Coventry to anyone.

Overview of my experience in contacting Coventry Direct and ultimately selling my USAA life insurance policy to Coventry

By Gary A., Venice, FL, Verified Reviewer

I had seen the ads for Coventry Direct, and since I was considering canceling my life insurance policy as I retired with limited income, and wanted to reduce my monthly expenses, I also wanted to increase my liquid cash situation.

I didn’t know anything about how Coventry Direct worked, how I would qualify and so on. However, I had been diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma, and was receiving treatment with a relatively positive prognosis. There was about a year and a half remaining on my policy, at which point, my premiums would dramatically increase beyond my ability to pay.

I contacted Coventry and began a conversation with Ryan Grow. He asked me some questions about my age, health, and the condition of my cancer care. He walked me through a thorough overview of the Coventry Direct program, a detailed overview of the information needed to evaluate my condition, health records, all the Doctors I had met with and had worked with concerning my condition, scans, tests, surgeries and so on. Ryan was very honest and open about the information needed, and the amount of time needed to make an evaluation as to whether I would qualify for a sale of my insurance policy. He gave me a range of what I may be looking at relative to a dollar amount.

Once I decided to proceed, Ryan worked closely with me through the entire process, followed-up regularly, and was very responsive whenever I called with questions. Once I was approved, Ryan was able to get me a dollar amount that I was comfortable with, and the funds were wired to me in a timely manner.

This was a difficult decision, somewhat stressful, and without Ryan’s professionalism, concern and honesty, I’m not sure I would have proceeded. I’m glad I did, and it’s because of Ryan’s skillful communication, empathy and ability to communicate so effectively.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent service, processing time, and experience.

By Joan P., Sarasota, FL, Verified Reviewer

My experience with Coventry Direct was outstanding!

First of all, it was a relief to find out that Coventry would actually buy back a policy. We were ready to tell our elderly relative to just cancel her policy at premiums of over $2,000 per month. And she had already paid more than the face value in premiums over the 10 years she'd owned the policy.

But we applied with Coventry and Ryan Grow guided us through the app process and she was approved for her policy to be purchased. Ryan was professional, knowledgeable, and available to answer our questions. He was timely and kept his word regarding contact and follow-up. He maintained regular contact and was always available to help with any questions. He established excellent rapport right away and was trustworthy and honest. So appreciated!

As a result of Ryan's excellent service and Coventry's service, I've recommended Coventry to several family and friends if they have an elderly relative with a life insurance policy that's no longer cost-effective or practical.

Many thanks to Ryan Grow and Coventry for an amazing experience!

A good experience

By Mike M., Winder, GA, Verified Reviewer

My experience with Coventry Direct was a good one. Travis Conrad was extremely professional and very patient with me as I asked a million questions! I had no idea what the process would be like, and to be honest, I was amazed at the amount of paperwork involved. It also seemed to take a very long time from start to finish. The TV commercial makes it sound like a one-week process...but in reality, it was a 2-month process. Through it all, Travis was constantly in touch and very helpful.

An unimaginable windfall

By David H., Paragould, AR, Verified Reviewer

A Coventry Direct advertisement on social media peeked my interest about a "life settlement". With cancer in my rearview mirror 4 years earlier and unable to work to make the annual premiums of a life insurance policy, it would be necessary to drop the policy and forfeit all previously paid premiums which totaled several thousand dollars.

Upon contacting CD, I was greeted by Scott Kalbfleisch with a very understanding attitude. Scott led me through the process and after reviewing all of my information, made me an acceptable offer for CD to help me sell the life policy.

Daily Scott stayed in contact with me to keep me apprised of every step of the process, even calling me after everything had been completed to make sure I had received my settlement.

I would encourage anyone to review the "life settlement" process with Scott at Coventry Direct. The process was timely, easy, and rewarding. I am glad to tell others about CD and Scott.

I worked with Allison Callahan on the viatical settlement on my life insurance policy. She was incredible. She was caring and compassionate from the first phone call, and carried that all the way through the process. She answered every question I had with informed and professional accuracy. If Allison is a representation of Coventry, then they are a very fortunate company.

Coventry was a great partner

By Tobias B., Kansas, Verified Reviewer

I just received a check from Coventry that was for a very fair amount to me, and what I hope is a very fair amount for their investors. My transaction took just over a year to complete, not due to any issues with Coventry, but due to the learning process and special circumstances that I had. Coventry's Chris Collins and Tyson Mayer were very informative, very persistent in advocating for me, and most of all very caring during our interactions. I would highly recommend both of these gentlemen.
