Who we are

C.L. Brown & Associates, LLC is an insurance and related services firm based in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. Our associates include licensed agents who represent American National and various outside insurance carriers. Each associate has a different specialty and we have clients in Iowa and five other states.

What we do

We help our clients with lifestyle protection, financial needs analysis, and property and casualty protection. We do this by focusing on three primary objectives:

• Understand our clients and always put their needs first
• Provide a stress free, no pressure experience
• Provide world class service and support

Ask yourself: "What are your most important financial goals and are you on track to achieve these goals?" OR "Would an unexpected death, disability, illness, fire, or some other tragedy jeopardize your goals or put someone you love at risk?" If you don't feel good about the answer or are unsure..we need to talk!

Our Process

First, we get to know our client's current situation, needs, goals and concerns.

Second, we identify potential exposures that could jeopardize their goals.

Third, we develop a strategy designed around their needs and goals.

Fourth, we assist our clients in implementing their strategy.

Finally, we make sure they stay on track by providing ongoing pro-active service and support. Will Rogers once said, "Even if you are on the right track you will get ran over if you just sit there."

How we are compensated

We are compensated for our services in two ways. First, we receive commissions from insurance and related products. Second, we are rewarded by high-quality referrals.

Awards and recognition

We are pleased to announce that Cher was voted "Best Insurance Agent in East Polk County" in the Altoona Herald's "Best of 2007" honors. Also, Layne has consistently qualified for membership in the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), which is The Premier Association of Financial Professionals®, an international, independent association of more than 31,500 members, or less than one percent of the world's life insurance and financial services professionals from 464 companies in more than 80 nations and territories. The MDRT membership is achieved by only a small percentage of life insurance and financial services professionals worldwide and is based on production requirements from commission credit.
