ELPs earn Dave's endorsement, they don't buy it

Being an ELP isn’t easy; it’s hard work because ELPs are held to a higher standard of excellence. While ELPs do pay a fee to cover website maintenance and employment costs, Dave’s endorsement is not bought — it’s earned. We have over a 30 person team that interviews potential ELPs several times and provides support to make sure they provide the best advice just like Dave does. We also make sure that every ELP is someone you feel comfortable talking to and is a person you can trust.

On top of that, we evaluate the performance of all ELPs every month to make sure we recommend you to the best agent possible. Also, every person who uses an ELP has a chance to grade them based on their personal experience through surveys we provide.

ELPs give great customer service and are easy to understand

We’ve made sure our ELPs really do have the heart of a teacher and provide top-notch customer service. No one likes to be talked down to or feel like they don’t matter. Our ELPs pride themselves on their willingness to work with every Dave fan and treats them like a friend!

The ELP program is designed to help you make money and save money

It's simple, if this program didn’t benefit you, we wouldn’t do it.

  It’s a fact that people who use a good agent sell their home faster and for more money. In fact, a study by the National Association of Realtors shows that people who use an agent sell their homes for 16% more than people who don’t.

• Why use an investing professional?
  A good investing pro is going to do more than pick your funds. They are going to fit your investments into your life, consider tax implications, changes in legislation and educate you so you'll understand what you're investing in and why. If you're having a bad day and decide to pull all of your investments out, you can ruin the goals you’ve worked hard to achieve. Since buying high and selling low is a bad plan, an investing pro will remind you why you're investing and encourage you to stick with your long-term goals.

And best of all, it's absolutely free to use an independent insurance professional!
