Life settlement

By Ira R., Hoboken, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I had a great experience selling two life policies to Coventry through the excellent service and assistance of Scott Kalbfleisch. We had to deal with a number of technical complexities during a short window of time and Scott made it all seem easy. Great job.

A smooth and easy process

By Lawrence B., Silver Spring, MD, Verified Reviewer

Scott at Coventry was respectful and very easy to work with. He said he would get this done in a specific amount of time, and he did. When I had an offer from another life settlement company, he was able to get my wife and I a better offer from Coventry. I would recommend this company if you have a life insurance company to sell.

Positive experience with Coventry Direct

By Ardis S., Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA, Verified Reviewer

My experience with Mr. Marcus and Coventry Direct has been exceptional. Mr. Marcus's patience and kindness in handling my case has been outstanding. He patiently waited through my bout with COVID-19 and the death of my brother gently keeping in touch without pressure. Once the timing was right, he handled all the processing with great professionalism, explaining each step along the way. When problems arose, he handled them promptly and came up with very acceptable solutions to all. I feel that my experience with Coventry Direct has been a very positive one primarily due to Mr. Marcus. He is a great asset to your company and should be considered a valued employee.

The procedures that are in place by Coventry Direct are well laid out, easy to understand, and handled in a prompt manner. Having dealt with many companies over my 76 years, I would say that Coventry Direct is one of the best I have had occasion to deal with.

Highly recommended

By Susan H., St. Augustine, FL, Verified Reviewer

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 Direct customer support

By William M., Hilton Head Island, SC, Verified Reviewer

Quite frankly, I hesitated to begin this process, mostly because I didn't understand what was involved. Greg Knight, my Coventry Direct Customer Representative, clearly explained the process and sought to understand my needs and expectations before beginning. Having gone through this experience, I would recommend Coventry Direct and particularly, Greg Knight, to anyone with a life insurance policy that is no longer a necessity. Time well spent and a reasonable return for my policy.

Selling my term life insurance

By Mitch S., Sammamish, WA, Verified Reviewer

Peter Hershon was from start to fruition during a very tough time available and informative. He understood my anxieties and concerns throughout the process. He worked to get me an equitable settlement and stayed the course through my hesitancy. I like the personal approach vs. dealing with an order taker and was versed in the comps in the industry and set realistic expectations.

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

Pros and Cons

Always available

Would have liked, of course, more money but given the parameters, I believe Peter did his best

Great service

By Bernard D., Coconut Creek, FL, Verified Reviewer

Payton was a true pleasure to work with. He was a great one for paying attention to detail and holding my hand until we got things settled. He was professional and pleasant to work with and I would recommend them to anyone in the future. The overall system like any big system is a little tedious but Peyton held my hand to the whole thing and I got my check yesterday and I'm very pleased with the entire process.

Mr. Patrick

By Wilma R., Hayward, CA, Verified Reviewer

Hello,

I would like to thank Mr. Patrick for working with me since March of this year. Had a little difficult getting my loan lower. Mr. Patrick advised me to wait for a couple of months and we will try again.

Mr. Patrick was very patient with me and walked me through each process.

Very intelligent and hard-working man.

I will give him a thumbs up.

Excellent experience!

By Paul C., Bellefontaine, OH, Verified Reviewer

It started with a phone call from me to Coventry. William Perry called me back within an hour and explained the whole process. He was very understanding with my questions which at times I'm sure he thought "What...", however, he never commented and was always professional. I'm in Project Management so I pressed hard for the best deal that I could get and I truly believe he went to bat for me. The paperwork was somewhat daunting and Mr. Perry went through the forms until they were understood. My insurance company was somewhat picky about having original signatures on the forms or they would not recognize the changes. Again, Mr. Perry was patient and helped me.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy to work with Coventry

Always available to answer questions

Efficient

Took a while for the whole process

Such a great experience!

By Veronica L., Colorado Springs, CO, Verified Reviewer

From the first time I spoke with Dan Glod, he was completely honest about the process and what to expect. He set up a timeline for communication and stuck with it. He was extremely thorough and I appreciated all the transparency. I was a bit nervous and skeptical going into this sale, because you never know which companies are really honest. Coventry is on point - fully transparent from the start! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Thank you for an honest settlement to help me get through this time of unexpected life issues and expenses.

By Max Amichai H., Hillsboro Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer
