Why an Independent Broker Typically Delivers Higher Payouts

When a policyowner goes directly to a provider like Coventry First LLC, they receive a single offer from one buyer. That buyer is purchasing the policy as an investment — their financial incentive is to pay as little as possible.

An independent broker like Accelerated Life Solutions takes a fundamentally different approach. We submit your policy to multiple qualified institutional buyers simultaneously, creating a competitive bidding environment. This market-driven process helps ensure policyowners receive the highest available offer.

Industry data suggests that policies sold through competitive broker-managed auctions can yield 20–50% more than offers from a single direct buyer. Results vary based on policy specifics and market conditions.
