Whole life insurance
Barry is a highly professional and dedicated insurance agent who truly stands out. His passion for helping clients and his deep knowledge of whole life insurance made the entire process smooth and transparent. Barry goes the extra mile to ensure his clients fully understand their options and feel confident in their decisions. I truly appreciate his professionalism, care, and commitment to excellent service.
Good experience so far
Barry was thorough and patient in answering all my questions. Also, the benefits of this type of policy cannot be over-emphasized,as I am comforted by the fact that not only the death benefit grows but the cash value also. I just started a couple.months ago but im looking forward to borrowing from the cash value as it is the most affordable way to build wealth! I'm pleased with the progress so far.
Delivered on the product I wanted.
I was able to get in contact with Denise on the same day. She provided a couple of whole life insurance options right away. We eventually decided to purchase one of those options. Very helpful all along the process.
Best of the Best
So thankful this information is readily available through this team in straight forward guidance. Denise's latest book, written in easy-to-understand language, is what really inspired me to take the next step. My only regret is I didn't know about this strategy years ago, even though I have a traditional WL policy with another company. I am so pleased with the results so far, that I am converting my other policies.
Highly Recommended - Great Experience
Barry has been a pleasure to work with over the past few months. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He has answered any questions I had as well as walk me through certain processes I needed.
Happy with My Policies
Good morning Denise Boisvert,
We're doing great I retired from UPS 3 years ago at 58. I hope this finds you and yours doing well also ! That was the information that I needed. Btw, the policies are working great. I wish I had known about this tool when I was a 26 year old instead of a 56 year old, but
we have really been pleased. Even used a loan to purchase our third rental property in 2023. I never would have been able to do that without the policy, because when I retired in 2022 my income dropped when I started to collect my pension which was less of course. I was able to bypass the bank because of our policies, and paid the loan back from the rental income that was created. Best decision ever !

I don't think I have ever met anyone more patient and professional than Barry Brooksby. It was very hard for me to understand some of the IBC concept, and I almost gave up on it. Every time I emailed or called Barry, he would patiently and calmly reiterate the information and go further to reference some of his videos or links.

Barry Brooksby REI and IBC exertise to the max!
Working with Barry Brooksby has been an outstanding experience on every level. He provided personalized and strategic planning by taking the time to fully understand my goals before recommending a policy. What I appreciated most was how he tailored everything specifically to my situation and guided me through the structure and strategic use of a high-cash-value life insurance policy that supports my long-term objectives.
Barry’s integrity and transparency really stood out. There was never any pressure—just honest, unbiased advice. He even reviewed proposals I had received from other agents, giving me the confidence that I was making the most informed decision possible. It was clear from the beginning that he was focused on what was best for me.
His exceptional knowledge and expertise around whole life insurance and the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) was apparent throughout our conversations. He walked me through complex financial topics with clarity, used case studies and comparisons to illustrate key points, and made sure I had a solid understanding before moving forward.
I also valued Barry’s patience and clarity in communication. He explained every concept in simple, relatable terms and took the time to answer all of my questions without ever rushing the conversation. His calm, thoughtful approach helped me feel confident and supported at every step.
The topic we discussed most was around Barry's personal experience and his client's experience using IBC as it relates to real estate investing, which is the original reason that brought me to Barry in the first place. I truly feel like I’m working with someone who is not only an expert in his field but also genuinely invested in helping me succeed. I highly recommend Barry to anyone looking for a trusted and strategic financial partner.

An absolute no-brainer
In many ways, setting up a whole life dividend paying insurance was arranging for a life with a lot less worry. A lot less worry if something happened to me, knowing my wife would be fine, but equally knowing that we both would be fine in retirement, given the amazing investment benefits this policy provides now, heading towards retirement, and ultimately in retirement.
To make sure you do this right is an understatement.
Barry Brooksby’s knowledge in this area is encyclopedic, practical, and extremely helpful. This is a place where you need specialized advice, the “do-it-yourself” approach just doesn’t cut it.
And I haven’t come across better advice than Barry’s yet. He took the time, ran multiple iterations of the various policies from a number of companies until I was satisfied we found the policy that fulfilled my objectives. I would recommend Barry without hesitation.

I highly recommend Barry to anyone looking for guidance on whole life insurance or other financial planning needs. His professional expertise combined with his genuine interest in his clients' financial wellbeing makes him an exceptional advisor.
