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!

My Coventry experience

By John F B., Rocky Mount, NC, Verified Reviewer

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.

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.

Chris Collins did a great job

By Steven K., Bar Harbor, ME, Verified Reviewer

I highly recommend Chris Collins, who served as my agent for a recent transaction at Coventry Direct. Chris was honest and forthright. I could rely on him for clear explanations of terms and procedures. If he didn't know an answer he immediately contacted someone who did and called back quickly with the needed information. He was patient throughout an extended process of deliberation and negotiation, persistent too, as he called frequently to make sure our process stayed on track and concluded successfully. I appreciate the excellent work that Chris and the important help he gave me.

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.

I reached out to Coventry and received a call-back from Matthew Glanzberg. Skeptical to start, Matt was very patient and walked me through the process.

Mary’s Life Insurance Policy Settlement

By Dennis G., Highlands Ranch, CO, Verified Reviewer

My wife, Mary, and I, Dennis, husband, were very fortunate and blessed to work with Ardit Hoxha of Coventry.

Throughout the entire life settlement process for Mary’s policy, Ardit was courteous, professional and explanatory...answering our questions fully and yet simply for us to understand. He stayed in constant touch with us and always promptly answered our telephone calls, text messages, and emails. He also took the initiative to call us on a regular basis as the settlement process took its course. He even called us to ensure that we had received the settlement check. Ardit is a very good "people person" and is a credit to his profession and to Coventry as well.

OUTSTANDING service from Drew Acker!

By Frederick H., Westbrook, CT, Verified Reviewer

I looked into selling my Term Life Insurance policy. I contacted roughly 4 different COMP IRS, however, Coventry was the ONLY company who took the time with me, to assist me selling my policy. Drew listened to what I needed, due to be being disabled with Cerebral Palsey. Now that I am on Social Security Disability, I am now am making 69% less from when I was working full time for 25 years with the phone company.

Drew is very friendly and a total professional person! He went through everything I needed to get for him step by step, so I didn’t forget anything.

To anyone who needs financial assistance, call Drew and let him assist you like he did for me.

I am so happy to have worked with Drew for my needs.

Thank you SO much.
