About Julie M. Gethers, CMIP®
Hi, I’m Julie M. Gethers, CMIP® -insurance agent & founder of Safe Havens Insurance. With 17 years of insurance experience, my job as your insurance agent is to understand your insurance needs, find you quality coverage at the BEST price, and service you along the way! I hold 2 insurance licenses in the state of Florida-a 0215 Life including Variable Annuity & Health & a 0220 General Lines Agent license. In addition, I have a bachelor’s degree in human resources with a minor in Business Management from the University of Maryland.
I began my insurance career in 2008 working for a national insurance company. I worked heavily in sales, underwriting, billing & enrollment, claims and servicing. My extensive experience makes me a valuable resource to anyone looking for a simplified insurance process both before and after the sale. As an independent insurance agent, I understand the value of offering choice to my clients. Insurance carriers and the plans they offer are not designed to fit every need, risk or budget. Thus, I am a non-captive agent representing many insurers and am always looking to partner with reputable carriers who will bring more value & savings to my clients.
WHY Choose me as your independent insurance agent?
As your trusted insurance adviser, I am dedicated to accurately assessing your coverage needs. I ensure you have adequate protection & that you are neither under, nor over insured. Insurance is complicated. I do everything I can to simplify it, so you understand your coverage and its value to you. As a Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA, I am equipped with the knowledge, experience & ethics needed to guide every Medicare beneficiary into finding the best Medicare plan that meets them where they are in life. Life changes and as it does, I will be there every step of the way to guide you, both before & after the sale.
Why ethics & reputation matter
The sad realty is that a small number of bad actors can damage the reputation of the whole profession. Deceptive marketing methods, pushy or dishonest sales approaches, and a disregard for CMS rules, which can be widespread in a fiercly competitive industry, can swiftly diminish public confidence. These unethical behaviors not only negatively impact the elderly they deceive, but also create a cloud over all agents in the industry, even those who operate with integrity, professionalism, and honesty. Ethics and reputation matter. Clients, whether in the Medicare space, the individual health insurance market or in need of home or business insurance, expect their insurance agent to be truthful, respectful & transparent.

Getting more personal
Home to the basketball Hall of Fame & Dr. Seuss, I was born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful American Staffordshire named Bella, and I am the mother to two young men, Marquis & Benjamin. In my spare time I enjoy decorating, cleaning (yes, I know that’s a weird one), hosting family get togethers, cooking & baking, gardening, playing poker & blackjack at the dinner table with my family, and watching a good action-packed movie.
At Safe Havens Insurance, we handle our business efficiently and with the highest degree of integrity and care. We are fully engaged in every client we serve and vow to ALWAYS put your interests first!
