Why Oakland
Built for Oakland residents.
Oakland is a city where people build lives across neighborhoods as varied as the people who inhabit them: a startup founder in Jack London Square, a family with roots in East Oakland, an artist in a warehouse conversion, a maritime worker by the Bay. What they share is dependence on each other, and a practical question that life insurance answers directly. A term policy covers the people and obligations you name, in a fixed amount, for as long as you choose.
This site is built to show Oaklanders what term life insurance actually costs, with no marketing and no sales pitch. You enter six pieces of information and see rates from more than a dozen carriers, then apply online if something fits. The application is handled by Susman Insurance Agency, a licensed California firm, with no obligation unless you choose to move forward.
