The Benefits of the Program
RECRUIT
This distinctive offering can give you an edge over the competition. By using
the program and extensive financial planning services as a recruitment tool,
we can help you work to attract the best real estate agents in your market.
RETAIN
The structure of the program helps support agents in their practice. Agents
who utilize the program may be less likely to leave for another agency where
these valuable services may not be made as readily available.
The Agent Benefits Program
The Shorewest Realtors Agent Benefits Program, offered by
Dergalis Associates, provides your agents with easy access to
insurance and other financial products and services through
financial professionals.
Dergalis Associates is comprised of a team of professionals
focusing on financial services, health insurance and benefit
administration. The team works together to help your agents
create customized financial strategies and benefit plans.
Automatic Contribution Program
 This is a structured savings plan where a percentage of each commission check an
agent receives gets automatically contributed to a retirement account.
 Provides agents with a structured savings plan
 An agent saves money ONLY when they make money
Group Dental Insurance
For New Agents
Our Group Dental Insurance is available to your agents
GUARANTEED-ISSUE during their New Associate
Election Period, which lasts 30 days after their start
date. They cannot be denied coverage based on health
and there is no medical underwriting process.
For Current Agents
Group Dental Insurance has an annual company-wide open
enrollment that takes place in November. An agent may
also enroll during a qualifying life event.
All group dental insurance coverage is offered entirely outside of AXA Network, LLC, AXA Network Insurance Agency of
California, LLC, AXA Network Insurance Agency of Utah, LLC or any of their affiliates.
Protecting Their Income
Life Insurance
In the case of a tragic event, life insurance can help an agent’s
family cover their loss of income, pay off debts, cover medical
bills or fund a child’s education. An Individual Life Insurance
policy can be customized to fit an agent’s financial needs.
When buying a new home or adding to their family, an agent
should review their life insurance needs.
Individual life insurance products offered through AXA Network, LLC, AXA Network Insurance Agency of California, LLC in CA,
and AXA Network Insurance Agency of Utah, LLC in UT.
Protecting Their Income
Disability Income Insurance
Disability Income Insurance pays benefits in the case that the
policy-holder is incapable of working as the result of a
disability. As independent contractors, real estate agents need
the income protection that disability income insurance offers.
An Individual Disability income policy can be customized to fit
an agent’s financial needs.
We recommend that all agents consider disability income
insurance as most would struggle with the loss of their income.
Individual disability income insurance products offered through AXA Network, LLC, AXA Network Insurance
Agency of California, LLC in CA, and AXA Network Insurance Agency of Utah, LLC in UT.
Protecting Their Income
Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance covers the cost of home health
aides and nursing homes should an agent need them. LTC
Insurance helps an agent afford access to top-notch care when
they need it most, and it helps them plan to not be a financial
burden to their children.
Long-term care insurance products offered through AXA Network, LLC, AXA Network Insurance Agency of
California, LLC in CA, and AXA Network Insurance Agency of Utah, LLC in UT.

Protecting Their Future
Retirement Savings Plan
Saving for retirement is a best business practice for all agents,
but many procrastinate when having to set up and fund
accounts on their own. The ease of the Automatic Contribution
Program helps clear the obstacles that prevent agents from
starting their retirement planning.
The Retirement Savings Plan is not an employersponsored qualified retirement plan.
Protecting Their Future
Rollover from Previous Employer Plan into
Another Qualified Plan
Our Financial Professionals guide the agent through the rollover
process. Whether they want to adjust their investments within and
make future contributions to another qualified plan, or participate in
the Automatic Contribution Program, the financial professional will
work with the agent to determine a suitable and appropriate account
type and help him or her consolidate their portfolio.
This is especially important to mention to recruits and new associates
as it can help the transition process of joining the company.
Addressing Their Future
Investment Services
Setting up the right investment portfolio can help an agent
work toward a better financial future. Our Financial
Professionals will conduct a complimentary financial needs
analysis to help agents establish an investment strategy. If an
agent already has an investment strategy, we can review it as
a second opinion to help them make sure they’re on the right
path.
Protecting Their Future
College Savings Plan
Whether helping a child, grandchild, or any special person in
their lives save for college, a college savings plan can help an
agent give a family member an opportunity of a lifetime.
