Mortgage protection is life insurance built around your home loan. If something happens to you, your family isn't choosing between grief and a mortgage payment — the house gets paid for.
Free and no obligation. Text QUOTE to (309) 239-1353 — no forms, no phone tag.
Independent means we work for you, not one insurance company. Different carriers are better for different people — a diabetic, a smoker, a 60-year-old, a young family — and knowing which is which is the whole job.
Coverage sized to your loan, so the house gets paid off and your family stays put.
Straightforward protection for the years your family depends on your income most.
Smaller whole-life coverage so funeral costs never land on the people you love.
Many plans let you access your benefit early if you're diagnosed with a serious illness.
Everything happens over the phone, on your schedule.
Two minutes: your mortgage balance, your age, and a few health questions.
We shop your situation across our carriers and build the options that actually fit — including ones for a tighter budget.
About 15 minutes. We walk through your options together, you ask questions, and you decide. No obligation.
If you move forward, we work with underwriting to get you approved — and stay with you after the policy is in force.
The Carmi Agency is an independent life insurance agency founded by Jackie Carmichael — a licensed Illinois insurance producer.
We specialize in mortgage protection for Illinois homeowners: families who just bought or refinanced and want to know the house is safe if the worst happens.
We're brokers, not captive agents. We're not trying to fit you into one company's product — we're looking across the market for the plan that makes sense for your health, your loan, and what you can comfortably afford. And if the honest answer is that you don't need what we sell, we'll tell you that too.
Most people guess low by two or three times. Our calculator adds up the mortgage payoff, the income your family would lose, and what it takes to keep them steady — in about thirty seconds, with no personal information required.
