The Practice

Seven years. No script.
No preferred product.
No one to answer to but you.

Over $700 million placed across 500+ clients nationwide. Every case independent. Every recommendation made without a carrier's interest in the room. That is not a differentiator. It is the baseline of what this work requires.

20+ Carrier Relationships

Areas of
Practice

The work is narrow by design. Retirement income strategy, life insurance, and annuity consulting require depth — not breadth. Every client receives the same level of scrutiny regardless of asset size.

The Advisor

Independent.
By Design.

He represents one person. You.

Sean Holguin is an independent insurance and retirement consultant serving individuals, families, and businesses nationwide — with deep expertise in life insurance, annuities, and retirement income strategies.

He doesn't represent a carrier. He doesn't have a quota. He built this practice because the people who needed honest retirement guidance weren't getting it — not because the information doesn't exist, but because almost everyone selling it had a reason to sell you something specific.

How it
works

Four steps. No surprise pitch at the end. Most people leave the first call with more clarity than they've had in years.

Discovery Call

30 minutes. We understand your goals, timeline, and current financial picture. You ask the questions you've been afraid to ask elsewhere.

02
Honest Assessment

We tell you what you actually need — not what earns the highest commission. If an annuity isn't right for you, we'll tell you that too.

03
Custom Strategy

A personalized plan with clear options, carrier comparisons, and transparent cost breakdowns. No fine print obscuring the real numbers.

04
Ongoing Relationship

Annual reviews. Policy service. Continued guidance as life changes. The work doesn't end when the policy is placed.

Questions worth
asking

If you're within 10 years of retirement, have money in a 401(k), IRA, or savings you won't need liquid, and want income you can't outlive — an annuity is worth a serious look. If you need that money accessible tomorrow, it's probably not the right fit. The calculator above gives you a starting point. A call gives you a real answer.
A fixed annuity locks in a rate — predictable, guaranteed, no surprises. A fixed index annuity ties growth to a market index like the S&P 500, capturing some upside when markets rise without losing principal when they fall. Most clients near retirement want the growth potential without the downside risk of being fully in the market.
With fixed and fixed index annuities — no. Principal is protected. You won't outperform someone fully in equities during a bull market, but you won't lose 30% in a correction either. That tradeoff is exactly what most people approaching retirement are looking for.
You have options — and most people don't know all of them. Rolling into an IRA or annuity often gives you more control, better rates, and guaranteed income you can't outlive. Leaving it with a former employer or cashing it out are usually the worst moves. We walk through all of it on the first call.
A financial advisor and an insurance specialist do different things. Most advisors don't go deep on annuities or life insurance — it's not their core. I fill that gap. A second opinion on what you've been shown costs nothing and could change what your retirement looks like.
No carrier affiliation. No quota. No manager. No product I'm required to recommend. I work with 20+ carriers and recommend what fits your situation — not what generates the highest commission.
No. Licensed nationwide. It doesn't matter where you live.
30 minutes. I ask about your timeline, what you have, and what you're trying to protect. No pitch at the end — just clarity on whether there's a fit and what that looks like.
Compensated by the carrier when a policy is placed — at no additional cost to you. The premium you pay is the same whether you go direct or through me. The difference is you get someone comparing options across 20+ carriers on your behalf.
