Honestly speaking

Honestly speaking, Barry wasn't our first choice. We actually choose another agent but when Barry followed up with us and we told him, he politely asked to review the other agent's illustration and gave his 25 year honest review. After that we decided to go with Barry and we could not be happier. We greatly appreciate his honesty and integrity to the Whole Life/IBC industry and ensuring that our current and future financial needs were meet.

Denise Boivert is the best!

I have Denise Boivert to thank for her knowledge, professionalism, and being an all around fantastic person. Denise was able to answer all my questions and was available to assist me-sometimes after hours-to ensure that I made the best decision regarding my life insurance plan.

I am grateful for her patience and thoroughness throughout this process and strongly recommend her.

Above and beyond

I originally asked for an illustration for a 1035 exchange and received three. When I expressed interest in one of the "extras," I received two more options, and a variant of one of those was the one I eventually selected.

Nothing was rushed. Nothing was forced. Nothing was cookie cutter.

The follow-up after the policy was in place ensured I understood how the policy worked, when I should request additional assistance, etc.

Zero reservations about recommending.

Barry—Above and Beyond…

Barry goes beyond his expert knowledge of the world of life insurance. He is prompt, accessible and ready to help no matter how small the issue or question. He clearly is a man who loves what he does and that shines through in his every action. Barry didn’t just sell my wife and I a policy—he brought us into his trusted family of resources, advice and guidance. I wish I knew Barry 20 years ago. Also a kudos to Kristen working in the background to make all this tick like a Swiss watch.

A1 Service

I had talked with Barry many times over the course of me deciding to go with my infinite banking program and he was always helpful with any questions or concerns. Barry has relatable life examples and dumbs the terms down to where even the simplest people could understand the work he is trying to accomplish by helping individuals plan for the future. I highly recommend giving him a call if you ever find yourself needing answers about infinite banking and/or many other financial subjects.

Barry Brooksby's expertise, dedication and genuine care for his clients truly sets him apart.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Barry Brooksby and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of the intricacies of IBC and whole life policies.

His responsiveness was impressive, always getting back to me quickly with answers to my questions. His professionalism made the process smooth and stress-free and his willingness to patiently answer all my questions made me feel confident and well-informed throughout the process.

Barry Brooksby is the Best

Barry is the best insurance agent I have ever met. He recently helped set up the high cash value whole life insurance policies for IBC for me and my family. He was there guiding me every step through the process with his vast knowledge on insurance. It helps my decision making process easy and informed. Barry is determined to build a long relationship with his clients and is willing to share his knowledge/experience not only on insurance but also on real estate investment.
