Client Testimonials

"He was prompt, friendly and kind as well as effective."

I no longer wanted to be in the market and was advised by a fee only financial advisor to consider annuities. I worked with Phil Barker at Life Annuities and he was terrific. He was prompt, friendly and kind as well as effective. He found even better annuities than I expected. I recommend him unreservedly. I found life Annuities cost effective and easy to work with.

"Such a relief to find someone we can trust."

I was initially a bit hesitant about making large financial agreements on-line, but I am so glad we did! Our local bank representative takes sometimes a week to return a call or email and Phil Barker at Life Annuities.com is on top of things, always the same day responses. I have not seen this level of customer service for years!! Phil explained the different choices with kindness and patience and helped me to understand the pros and cons for each. Once the decision was, he followed up right away. Almost a year later, when my husband decided to move his RRIF to a life annuity Phil Barker at Life Annuities was the only one we even considered!! The quotes came in quickly, paperwork was accurate, process was seamless and the first payment in our bank the following month. Thanks so much Phil for the excellent service!

"I highly recommend this process."

I'm receiving an annuity within 2 months of talking with Life Annuities.com. The website is a wealth of information, complimented by talks and emails. I'll be calling Life Annuities.com again down the road to be my annuity broker. I highly recommend this process.

"I hope to do business with him again."

“The level of service from Life Annuities.com was better than I could have hoped for. He was quick to answer questions, gave sound advice, and went out of their way to deliver the annuity policy I wanted. I hope to do business with Life Annuities.com again.

"Fast, Efficient and Stress Free"

As a annuity client I am very pleased with the service Phil and his team provided. Since buying an annuity is a one opportunity process, it's really important to have Phil utilize his knowledge to obtain the best deal.

Thanks again for the "10" star service.

"He patiently answered my questions and explained the matters I needed."

In early March 2019 I contacted Life Annuities.com to explore annuity quotations. They patiently answered my questions and explained the matters I needed to be concerned about. They then sent me a table of quotations for all the companies and comparing the numbers was very easy. I recommend Life Annuities.com for annuity purchases.

"Thank you for all of your extra efforts"

Hi Life Annuities.com,

I wanted to personally thank you for all of your extra efforts in successfully managing the issuance of the annuity through Sun Life Financial. I understand that this specific annuity was a “special case” and it required extra work in interfacing with Sun Life. The team always responded in a very timely manner. Thank you for your perseverance in getting the annuity issued after several follow up requests from Sun Life.

Please pass my contact information on to any potential clients in the future.

"Payments started without a hassle"

"Simon listened attentively to my requirements, provided straightforward answers to my questions and promptly provided me with an array of quotes to choose from."

For reasons which are unclear to me, some financial institutions offer life annuity rates which are much better than others. So in order to get the best deal it is necessary to enlist the services of a good broker.

The first broker that I dealt with appeared to be primarily interested in selling me products that I didn't want so I consider that I am fortunate to have found Life Annuities.com.

They listened attentively to my requirements, provided straightforward answers to my questions and promptly provided me with an array of quotes to choose from. I strongly recommend their services to anyone who is considering purchasing an annuity.

I consider myself to have been very fortunate to have found you and your company, and I would not hesitate to recommend you 100% to anyone who is seeking to purchase an annuity.

"I am very pleased to have just purchased a Payout Life Annuity through Life Annuities.com."

This process started for me about five years ago when I had a curiosity and casual interest in life annuities and how they worked. I used newspaper articles and the internet, especially Life Annuities website. I contacted them and they gave me comparative quotes from different companies with different scenarios for my personal circumstances. I found they are to be very helpful and objective with absolutely no pressure for me to buy.

Over the five year period, as my circumstances continued to evolve, I would periodically check in with them, or they would check in with me and provided updated quotes with no commitment on my part. Finally, when I determined that an annuity was the best fit for me and my portfolio, I naturally purchased through the person who had assisted me all along. I am comfortable that I made the right decision at the right time, and with the right advisor.

I would recommend Life Annuities.com.
