What Clients think
“When it was time to renew our mortgage, I’d remembered hearing Cindy O’Donnell talk about the advantages of purchasing your own insurance instead of mortgage insurance through the lender. We asked her to come by and tell us more. She was caring, listened and provided us with a wonderful alternative. Not only was it less expensive for a larger insurance amount than what we had been quoted by the bank, it provided better coverage and terms. And she made the process easy. Now that we’re close to renewing our mortgage again, we don’t have to worry about reapplying for insurance or having our premiums go up. If you’re looking for a caring insurance professional who has your best interests at heart, I’d highly recommend that you reach out to Cindy and her team at Sun Life."

“I have life insurance, extended health benefits and RRSP with Sunlife. Both Cindy and Brian are fantastic to work with, they are patient, informative and considerate. The process is quick and easy in comparison to other companies I have dealt with! I love the peace of mind of knowing that if something in life goes off course I am covered, and the fact that I can control my investments contributions with one quick email! Thank-you Brian and Cindy O'Donnell all you do and Thank-you Sunlife for having such great systems in place!”

"I have been working with Cindy and Brian as my Life and CI insurance advisors for many years now. I have had nothing but great service and advice whenever I needed to do a review or make changes. They have both provided options and advice on what I should consider so that I felt able to make the right decision for my family and myself. I have also referred Cindy and Brian to my own friends and clients and have nothing but great feedback on the service Cindy and Brian have provided. It is just a pleasure to have such a great team on my side!"

A good place to start is to figure out how much life insurance you may need… how long you need it for… and what kind might be right for you. Let’s look at an example: Jackie is 33 years old… and has two kids. She has four goals for her life insurance: Leave money to her family to pay off her mortgage. Top up her kids’ registered education savings plans. Pay off her student loans. And, replace her income for 10 years. Based on these goals, Jackie is looking at a 1-million-dollar life insurance policy. If she died, her family could choose to use the insurance payout to: Put 300-thousand dollars toward the mortgage. Add 60-thousand dollars to the kids’ RESPs. Pay off her 40-thousand-dollar student loan. And… cover the family’s ongoing costs with the remaining 600-thousand dollars. How much do life insurance payments cost per month? In Jackie’s case, a 1-million-dollar, 30-year term policy for a non-smoking, 33-year-old woman… could cost about 80-dollars per month. For a man of the same age, it’s closer to 110-dollars per month. How long do you need your coverage to last? For a younger person… or a couple with debt and a mortgage, a 30-year policy or longer may be suitable. For someone in their forties… with little debt and a small mortgage… a 20-year policy might be the right fit. What are your options? Your employer may offer life insurance through your employee benefits. But… it may not be enough. And you can lose that coverage if you change employers. You may want to consider more life insurance. In which case, you have two types to choose from: Term life insurance. And… permanent life insurance. Any amount of life insurance can help give your loved ones some financial security when you die. Your unique situation will inform the amount and type of insurance you need. For more tips and tools, visit sunlife.ca.
