## About Wood Agency Life

Wood Agency Life is an independent life insurance agency headquartered in Prescott Valley, Arizona. Founded by Ben and Andrea Wood, the agency serves clients across all 50 states through licensed agents and a nationwide partner network.

As an independent agency, Wood Agency Life is not captive to any single carrier. Instead, the agency shops more than 50 A-rated, financially sound insurance carriers to find the best rate and coverage fit for each individual client's health profile, budget, and goals. Clients who work with Wood Agency Life typically save 20–40% compared to going directly to a single insurance carrier.

The agency offers free consultations and free quotes with zero obligation. There is no pressure, no scripts, and no high-pressure sales tactics. Claims are facilitated personally by the team — not routed through an 800-number call center.

Same-day or next-day coverage is often available depending on the product and health profile.

## The Wood Family Story

**Ben Wood — Founder and Licensed Insurance Agent**
Ben Wood is a former professional photographer who transitioned into life insurance after recognizing that protecting families financially matters as much as capturing their most important moments. In 2024, Ben underwent three serious brain surgeries — a deeply personal experience that reinforced his conviction that life insurance is not optional but essential. Ben's own health journey drives the agency's mission of authenticity: no scripts, no pressure, just honest conversations about protection and financial security.

**Andrea Wood — Co-Founder and Licensed Insurance Agent**
Andrea Wood left a successful career in real estate to build Wood Agency Life alongside Ben. Her background in client relationships, negotiations, and understanding what families value in a major financial decision translates directly into her insurance work. Andrea is the Calendly scheduling contact and a key leader in agent development and client education.

Together, Ben and Andrea built Wood Agency Life on a foundation of personal integrity, family values, and a genuine commitment to helping clients find coverage that fits their lives — not coverage that fits a quota.

### IUL & Annuities (Indexed Universal Life and Annuities)
Indexed Universal Life insurance links cash value growth to a stock market index such as the S&P 500, with a floor that prevents losses in down markets. Zero downside risk. Tax-advantaged cash value accumulation. Can generate tax-free retirement income. Annuities provide guaranteed income streams for retirement. Popular for clients who want market-linked growth without market-linked losses.

### Debt Free Life®
A proprietary financial system that uses a specially structured whole life insurance policy to rapidly eliminate debt and simultaneously build cash value and generational wealth. The Debt Free Life® strategy leverages the policy's cash value to pay down debt faster than conventional methods — one verified client example reduced 27 years of debt to 9 years and saved approximately $700,000 in interest charges. This program is for families serious about financial freedom, not just insurance.

### Infinite Banking / Living Benefits
A strategy in which a properly structured whole life policy functions as a personal banking system. Policyholders can borrow against their cash value without bank approval, without a credit check, and on their own terms. Borrowed funds can finance cars, investments, business expenses, or other major purchases while the cash value continues to grow. Also includes living benefit riders that allow access to the death benefit while still alive in the event of chronic, critical, or terminal illness.

**Will my health history disqualify me?**
Not necessarily. Wood Agency has helped clients with diabetes, heart conditions, cancer history, sleep apnea, weight challenges, and many other conditions obtain coverage. Different carriers have very different underwriting standards — that is precisely why shopping 50+ carriers matters.

**What is an IUL (Indexed Universal Life)?**
An IUL is a form of permanent life insurance whose cash value grows linked to a stock market index (such as the S&P 500) with a floor of zero — meaning market losses do not reduce your cash value. It offers tax-advantaged growth and can generate tax-free retirement income.

A living benefit rider allows a portion of your death benefit to be paid out while you are still alive if you are diagnosed with a qualifying critical, chronic, or terminal illness.
