The Wood Agency Life
Real Estate Pros — Your Client Skills Transfer to Remote Mortgage Protection Sales (1099)
Role: Mortgage Protection Insurance Sales Agent
The Salmon, ID area is full of homeowners who bought their dream properties — and many of them haven't thought about what happens to that mortgage if life changes suddenly. At The Wood Agency, you'll have remote conversations about mortgage protection that matter. This is a 100% remote, work-from-home position serving Salmon, ID and beyond, and if you've spent years in real estate helping families protect their biggest purchase, your client skills translate directly into this next chapter.
What you'll actually do
- Connect remotely with homeowners about coverage that protects their mortgage if they pass away
- Review each family's situation and recommend what actually fits — no single-product pitch
- Work leads and manage your own pipeline without anyone watching over your shoulder
- Submit applications and follow clients through underwriting start to finish
- Stay in contact through the full policy life, including benefit claims when they come
- Join weekly team calls and call reviews to sharpen your approach
Who this is a fit for
- Real estate agents or brokers ready for a remote career change
- People who understand what homeownership means to a family's financial stability
- Self-starters who work well without a manager checking in daily
- Unlicensed candidates willing to earn a life insurance license — typically done in two weeks
- Anyone who wants client relationships that last past the closing table
What we provide
- Licensing support with a clear timeline: licensed by week two, making sales calls by end of month one
- Scripts, call reviews, ride-alongs, and 1:1 mentorship directly with Ben and Andrea Wood
- 43 carriers represented — so you can actually match the policy to the family
- A weekly team call with 13 agents licensed across all 50 states
- A consultative culture built to keep clients, not just close them — The Wood Agency stays through benefit claims
The honest part
This is commission-based 1099 work — no salary, no guaranteed pay for showing up. Andrea left a real estate career and built The Wood Agency remotely when local options ran out; if that kind of transition sounds familiar, apply today. If you need a paycheck regardless of production, this isn't the right move right now.
