What our agents have to say

"SFG has made working remotely a collaborative experience with a knowledgeable team. They offer endless support and self development. I owned a demanding catering business. Then my father passed. My 5 brothers and I pulled together for the expenses. Not wanting others to have this terrible experience, I found a home with SFG. It is giving me the flexibility to raise 4 kids while protecting others ."

Providencia Janet N.J.

Agent

"I lost my job due to a car accident that kept me out of work. Mostly, I love that I can help people as much as they need and want. My time and conversations are not being micromanaged. I like the idea of commission because I determine my paycheck. Not someone else. This is a relationship we're building with our clients and we want them to feel comfortable with us -- ."
