– Company offers income protection insurance for real estate agents. –

CHICAGO – (09/26/17) – Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^® has named Rosenbaum Financial as a preferred provider through its Solutions Group program, a collection of select business resources for the global community of 565 real estate firms.

Rosenbaum Financial designs customized group insurance plans that protect agents and owners against unexpected financial loss at a cost that is usually 40-50% less than comparable individual insurance plans. Their approach to group insurance means that agents are eligible for coverage regardless of their medical conditions and without financial underwriting. Through the Solutions Group relationship, LeadingRE members also qualify for an additional discount on group insurance premiums.

“Our brokers are always looking for ways to drive value to their sales associates,” Robin LaSure, LeadingRE vice president of corporate marketing said. “By sponsoring a program like this, our brokers can help agents protect their income at times when illness or an accident may prevent them from working. It’s an incredible benefit that reflects their concern for the financial wellbeing of their agents, with little to no expense for the brokerage.”

Rosenbaum Financial already works with several LeadingRE members and is looking forward to extending its services throughout the network.

“Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^® attracts the best of the best – members whose integrity, professionalism, and dedication to their clients and communities set them apart. These are attributes that directly align with our core values, and we have been exceedingly impressed with everyone we’ve met who’s affiliated with LeadingRE – from agents, to brokers, to staff! We are thrilled to further develop our relationship with LeadingRE by becoming part of the Solutions Group program,” said Vice President Kelly Christopherson.
