About Julie M. Gethers, CMIP®. Your trusted lakeland florida insurance agent
Hi, I’m Julie M. Gethers, CMIP® -your local Lakeland Florida insurance agent & founder of Safe Havens Insurance. With 17 years of insurance experience, my job as your Lakeland Florida insurance agent is to understand your insurance needs. I find you quality coverage at the BEST price. I also service you along the way! I hold two insurance licenses in the state of Florida. One is a 0215 Life, including Variable Annuity & Health. The other is a 0220 General Lines Agent license. Furthermore, 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. I help anyone looking for a simplified insurance process both before and after the sale. As an independent Lakeland Florida 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. I am a non-captive agent who is contracted with many insurance companies. I am always looking to partner with reputable carriers. They bring more value and savings to my clients.
WHY Choose me as your Lakeland Florida insurance agent?
As your trusted Lakeland Florida insurance agent, I am dedicated to accurately assessing your coverage needs. I make sure 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. I am a Certified Medicare Insurance Planner™, DBA. I have the knowledge, experience, and ethics to guide every Medicare beneficiary. I help them find the best Medicare plan that meets them where they are in life. Life changes. As it does, I will be there every step of the way to guide you. I will support you both before & after the sale.
Why ethics & reputation matter in your insurance agent
The sad realty is that a small number of bad actors can damage the reputation of the whole profession. Deceptive marketing tactics are common in a cutthroat industry. Pushy or dishonest sales approaches occur frequently. There is often a disregard for CMS rules. These tactics can swiftly diminish public confidence. These unethical behaviors not only negatively impact the consumers they deceive, but they create a cloud over all agents in the industry. This includes those who operate with integrity, professionalism, and honesty. Ethics and reputation matter. Clients expect their insurance agent to be truthful. Whether you are in need of Medicare, individual or family health insurance, or in need of homeowner’s, flood or business insurance, clients expect them to be knowledgeable, transparent & work in their best interest.
If you choose to work with me as your Lakeland Florida insurance agent, I will not disappoint.
