Austin is a great listener and has some very valuable and useful insights. When I first started with him I thought he might be too young, but he is wise WELL beyond his years. As much life I've lived and experience gained, I take notes when we talk.

I appreciate how easy it was for me to find providers in my area and how easy it was to scan through their info quickly to find the right fit. I also appreciated how the onboarding process encouraged me to take a second look at the policies because I would typically agree without reading.
