About Us
Premier Life Strategies is a full service life insurance agency that was founded in 2009. It was created on the foundation of cultivating more intimate experiences with both our advisors and our clients. This belief is steadfast in our approach to business. Our agency believes strongly in our independence, which is why we have more than 20 carriers that we work with. Working with multiple carriers enables us to guarantee you the best underwriting and product options available. We don’t owe anything to any of our carriers which means we have zero bias when it comes to selection the best option for you. We have worked with some of the top advisors in the country and we bring that experience directly to our clients. Specialties include: tax-deferral strategies, tax-free retirement planning, business planning, legacy planning, underwriting, and more. We have offices in Roanoke, VA and a processing office in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Let us show you The Premier Difference – contact us for a quote today!
