Role Description
This flexible role can be full-time, part-time, or a second job, and is fully remote as a Field Underwriter. Set your own hours and schedule, working in the time zones and states that best suit you. The Field Underwriter will collaborate with families seeking coverage, evaluate risk, and identify the optimal coverage options for each family. Responsibilities include submitting applications to the most suitable carriers and supporting the underwriting process. Leads, both qualified and compliant, are generated by our brokerage for agents through direct mail, call-ins, and digital platforms. There is no cold calling involved. The Field Underwriter must deliver exceptional customer service and maintain high accuracy and attention to detail.
Compensation Structure
This is a 1099 position with commission rates starting at 80% of Annual Premium Value (APV) and going up to 130% APV, along with bonuses and potential equity ownership. Once you achieve a commission rate promotion, it remains permanent; there are no criteria to maintain or keep it. Agents earn commissions based on their production level and receive overrides on their agency's policies based on the differential between their contract rate and the rate of each agent in their agency. Commissions are paid out in advance: 75% upon issuance and 25% in months 10, 11, and 12. Agents can attain legal ownership at the 105% contract level with six writers without any capital contribution required.
There are no income caps or minimum quotas. New, average part-time agents typically earn $3,000-$5,000 per month in commission for 15-20 hours of work per month (around six policies), equating to approximately $70,000 per year. Unlicensed agents with no prior experience often start part-time on their own schedule before transitioning to full-time after training. Full-time average agents earn $15,000-$17,000 per month in deposits (15-20 placed policies), equating to $150,000-$200,000 per year. Passive agency income would be additional to these personal production averages. The brokerage and carriers offer bonuses and reward trips.
