I had a great experience with immediate annuities!

The website has a lot of information, and the agents are thorough and accessible. I found the company in an online search, but they were also recommended by a financial advisor I went to.

I think the most important thing…

I think the most important thing ImmediateAnnuities does is listen. Your workers were wonderful to work with. I have processed two annuities and your teams assistance was significant and greatly appreciated. I learned of your company from Jane Bryant Quinn's book "How to make your money last". Your company was recommended in the book.

Hey Keith, we appreciate you taking time over the holiday weekend to share your positive feedback about your experience working with us to set up your annuity contract. And it really means a lot to hear you stress that you felt heard and understood. You were forced to endure with delays out of your control (due to the processes of your retirement plan) and you were so patient and helpful in keeping us informed the whole time. We are so relieved and grateful that the annuity contract was issued properly and as quickly as it was funded. We hope you have a great start to your week, and if there's any other way we may be of further assistance, please let us know we can help. Best regards, Ariel Stern

Knowledgeable and efficient

Recently worked with Ariel to setup an annuity and everything went very smooth. All questions and concerns were quickly answered by Ariel and the other team members that I worked with. Most impressed by how knowledgeable everyone was and how efficient the whole process was. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend ImmediateAnnuities.com!

I had a great experience with ImmediateAnnuities and I highly recommend them! Their communication is excellent. They walked me through the whole process and made it very easy. When I had questions, I was able to get answers immediately, either by calling or sending emails. Everything that we needed to fill out or sign was overnight-ed so the process moved quickly. I was particularly impressed when they called me, unprompted, because they became aware that the rate on one of our annuities was going to drop. We had a rate lock but they were concerned that the remaining lock time might not be long enough to complete the transaction so they had us re-start the application which extended the lock and preserved our rate.

Well, Peter, we are extremely grateful and humbled by your kind and positive words about your experience working with us. You've very carefully shared the ways that we have perfected the process of applying for your annuity. We know it's extremely important for the process to go smoothly and expediently. We also appreciate your understanding in completing the 2nd application in order to preserve your rate lock, which ended up being quite advantageous. Thank you again for your positive feedback and if there's ever any other way we may be of further assistance, please let us know how we can help. Best regards, Ariel Stern

Annuity contract

Every step along the way was accurate, honest timely and conscientious. I ended up with a contract even though I had delivery delay outside my control. Would use again and no one else.

Fast, easy, no hassles,

I came to ImmediateAnnuities.com from Jane Bryant Quinn's book, /How to Make Your Money Last/. I ran the comparative estimates on line, which was very easy and convenient, then I called in to make my purchase. Kyle was excellent. He had answers to all my questions at his fingertips, and explained clearly what the process would be and how long it would probably take. He overnighted the application packet, which was a zillion forms but every page had a consecutive page number so they were easy to refer to. (I thought that was a great feature.) I called the next day with my questions about the forms, he answered those, I overnighted the forms back using the label he had included so it didn't cost me anything. He or Michael acknowledged receipt, sent the forms to New York Life, and kept me informed of progress. I am certain it would have been more difficult and taken longer if I had been dealing directly with NY Life or any insurer.

Converting an Annuity

I was the beneficiary of an inherited variable annuity. We wanted to convert it into an annuity for my life plus 10 years certain. It took months because of our inability to find someone who would help us achieve this goal. We finally found Adam of Immediate Annuities. He listened to what we wanted, took ownership and got the conversion in a very short time.

Satisfied customer

Answered my calls and questions. Smooth easy process. Have used 2 more times based on my initial pleasant experience. Even easier subsequent times since they had my info on file. Website is easy to use to calculate estimates and receive mailed info without triggering bothersome phone calls, emails, etc.

Mistakes

Not everyone at this company is well trained. They made mistakes like the wrong beneficiary, not the person I requested on the original application, and didnot respond when I told them it was incorrect. They didnot know how to do withholding for taxes on my payments, so I have to pay quarterly taxes, they didnot show me multiple options for payouts. And had to ask about options that other companies offered.

Hi Margo, thank you for sharing these issues with us and I wish that you had called into our office at (866) 866-1999 to go over your concerns as this is the first time that I'm learning about these problems. I do see what you are referring to about the beneficiaries and this kind of issue is something that I or any of my associates in the office would assist you to have corrected by the insurance company and they can send you a confirmation letter to show their records have been updated. As far as tax withholding, many insurance companies utilize the IRS Form W-4P and it is not very clear how to complete the form to request a specific amount to be withheld. Many of my clients either opt for No Withholding (and handle the taxes quarterly as you mentioned) or allow the insurance company to administer the "default withholding" by leaving the W-4P form blank. Either way, I'm sorry to hear your disappointment. Please do not hesitate to call our office in case you are still experiencing any issues with your contract. We would be more than happy to help you with your policy servicing. Hope you have a nice start to your week! Sincerely, Ariel Stern (866) 866-1999

SECOND PROBLEM WITH BRIGHTHOUSE

I USE CAPS BECAUSE OF AN EYE ISSUE. MY WIFE AND I ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICE BUT NOT BRIGHTHOUSE. ARIEL LEFT A MESSAGE WITH MY WIFE LAST WEEK REGARDING AN ANNUITY WE DID A TAX FREE EXCHANGE ON FOR HER MOTHER WHO SUBSEQUENTLY ASSIGNED HER RIGHTS TO AN IRREVOCABLE TRUST AND BRIGHTHOUSE IS BEING A PAIN. SOME HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Overall great experience

Overall great experience. Buying an Annuity for the first time is a tad bit on the scary side. I started looking at annuities for about a year before I finally bought. I must have ran examples in their website over a hundred times. Haha. Best website on the web, by the way. The process went as described, the quote was right, and no issues. I'll probably buy another one. Thanks again.
