Testimonials

Del is everything you would want in an agent. He takes the time to hear what your exact needs are in order to see what kind of policy is right for you depending on your current life circumstances. Del is willing to explain technical terms clearly and make sure you understand exactly what you are doing. This was very important to me when I chose to get whole life insurance as I am a millennial who had never owned life insurance previously. I am impressed that while he is a very busy person, he always finds the time to meet with a client. Over 5 years I have known Del I have learned that in addition to being very knowledgeable about life insurance, he is also passionate about the importance of Long Term Care and loves helping small business owners. He is very well connected in the community, so if there is something you need assistance with, even if it does not seem to be related to your policy, tell him about it. Chances are he can refer you to someone who can help. If you know you need life insurance or Long Term Care for you, your family and/or your business partners, please do yourself a favor and contact Del ASAP. You will not regret it!

“I met Del through a Leads Club group. He contributed regularly to the group. I soon learned how knowledgeable he was in Life and Long Term Disability insurance. He helped me to see I needed protection for my business and employees. Del was very informative when we met. Del did all the paperwork needed and I only had to sign a couple of papers. Del was easy to work with and I would recommend him to anyone needing Life or Disability insurance*. The insurance was affordable!” May 27, 2009

“Del is a true financial professional and he is easy-going and friendly--which was important to me. And he works for a rock-solid top-rated mutual life insurance company. The fact that his company is a mutual and not a stockholder company was a plus for me. I can highly recommend Del.”
Dan Marchiando, Paragon Mortgage Group

Del went above and beyond the call of duty to help both me and my husband get health insurance*. He checked in advance with the different companies about my pre-existing conditions and informed me who would give me the most value and best coverage. I am so happy with the end result and the comfort I have from knowing that my husband and I are protected. The next step is long term care insurance and though others have approached me to get that business, I'll never go anywhere other than with Del. He's friendly, funny and really cares about his clients. You need something related to insurance? Call Del. And he'll send you funny quotes too!

Del and I go way back, at least 30 years, and he has been a real help to Valerie and me as our insurance and financial needs have changed along the way. He also has a very good grasp on protecting and growing personal assets, including discussing family trusts and the like. Through an estate tax attorney he introduced us to, he helped Valerie and I set up our family trust and he offered some wonderful products like insurance with a blend of term and whole life, and long term care insurance......we aren't getting any younger, are we! If you have any insurance or personal asset needs I would highly recommend Del for the job.  I have never seen another person work so hard to bring the right products to fit a family's financial budget.  So let him work hard for you  to protect your family.

Why would I recommend that you enlist Del Hegland as your New York Life agent?  Good question! Well, first, he's a darn nice guy, who (secondly), also happens to be an insurance agent for what I consider to be one of the best insurance companies around. He listens.  He knows.  And when he doesn't know, he does his homework. No pressure here, though.  Give him a shot and I'm sure you will concur. Moreover, YOU have to love that "Keep Smiling!"

"I wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I enjoyed working through protecting my wife and I with Life Insurance. Not only do I feel better now that I have correct coverage at a price that fits our budget but you made it fun and informative. Both you and Judy are great at being personable and professional at the same time. Thanks Del".
