Jack moved my IRA into an annuity earning over 6% and found me a Medicare plan that costs nothing monthly. He explained everything in plain language and never rushed me. Outstanding.

Common Questions

Answers You Need

Do I pay for Jack's services?
No. Insurance agents are compensated by carriers when you enroll. You receive expert, personalized guidance at no cost — your premium or rate is identical whether you work with Jack or go direct.
What makes Safe Harbor different?
Jack brings 43 years of real-world experience, a Needs Based Analysis approach, and a deep commitment to Veterans and Seniors. This is a personal, long-term relationship — not a call center.
Are Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities safe?
Yes. MYGAs are issued and backed by the life insurance carrier — no market risk, no volatility. Principal is guaranteed and interest accumulates tax-deferred. Suitability is assessed individually. Rates are set by the issuing insurer; current top-of-market is around 6.30% for 5 years (subject to change).
Are annuities FDIC insured like Certificates of Deposit?
No. Annuities are not FDIC insured — but life and annuity companies doing business in Florida belong to the Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (FLAHIGA), which protects consumers from insurer insolvency. FLAHIGA is a statutory entity created in 1979 when the Florida Legislature enacted the Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association Act. Most other states maintain similar guaranty associations with their own coverage limits.
What are the FLAHIGA coverage limits?
For Florida residents, the limits are: Life insurance — $100,000 net cash surrender value, $300,000 death benefit. Deferred annuity — $250,000 net cash surrender value per contract owner. Annuity in benefit — $300,000 per contract owner. Participating insurers pay FLAHIGA an annual assessment as part of the funding to protect consumers.
What Veterans benefits can Jack help with?
Jack helps Veterans navigate VA health care coordination, Aid & Attendance pension benefits, Survivor Benefit Plan options, and how VA benefits interact with Medicare. As a Vietnam Veteran himself, Jack has personal experience with the system.
Can I move my existing annuity or policy?
Often yes — through a Section 1035 Tax-Free Exchange you can transfer funds from an existing annuity or life insurance policy without triggering taxes. Jack will assess whether an exchange makes sense for your situation.
Do you serve clients outside The Villages?
Yes. While based in The Villages, FL, Jack serves clients across Florida and in multiple states. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.
