Expectations

The saying "you are only as great as the impact you make" lies very true here. We are excited for the vision and view of the future of Advocate Financial Partners as it expands into Dallas Texas.

The hope for this expansion is to impact more lives, agents and clients alike. We are hoping to see an increase of up to 40 new writing agents as well as an office that is 2,000 square feet larger than what we currently have. In 2020 our goal is to have our offices in 5 additional states, information on that to come soon. 

Strategy

Lonestar has mastered the data capture and back house systems when it ​comes to being a broker. This expansion will allow Advocate to have people working to their strengths, focusing on those and fine tuning them. ​

Advocate Chicago has always had a great broker training program, which we are excited to implement at Advocate TX. Both Lonestar and Advocate have an unbreakable foundation, merging the spectacular office support and data capture with active agent training will allow for us to reach greater heights. ​
