For many years I have maintained several Charles Sellers Policies. The company has been responsive and efficient. Recently I was hospitalized and the company provided insured benefits. AsI depend on pension income I began to query my needs for insurance premium expense. Therefore I elected to discontinue an Accidental Death and Injury policy and so emailed my intent to Charles Sellers Fortunately one of their representatives Ms Sheila Glassford called me and reiterated the benefits and low cost of this Policy.

Upon reflection I realized Ms Glassford was so right! I therefor will keep the policy. I am appreciative of the sound advice and personal attention of Charles Sellers & Co. as exemplified by Ms Glassford's call.

Charles J Sellers has provided me with outstanding service and products for over four decades. They fully deserve the 5 star rating I've posted. My recent work with Ms. Sheila Glassford was, as I have come to anticipate, similarly professional and addressed all my concerns.
