If you are interested in getting a quote on a structured settlement, then do some research. There are a lot of companies out there to choose from.  Who will give you the biggest quote?  Who will be the most “trusted”?

It’s never easy deciding on which company to use, especially if it concerns a great deal of money. Your structured settlement is your investment. It’s something owed to you, that will secure your future.

However, when you’re dealing with monthly payments vs. a lump sum it can be hard to live with.  You can’t always afford to live on a small monthly payment. 

Getting a quote on a structured settlement is a smart idea, but don’t just get one quote, get more than 10 quotes. If you don’t shop around, you might end up with less money than you could have gotten from another reputable broker.

It’s typical that the bigger companies don’t give the best quotes.  Often they have more overhead than the mid-size or smaller corporations.  Be careful when shopping the competition. Don’t be hard pressed to sign on the dotted line that very second.

If I were getting a quote on a structured settlement, I would consider it top priority to go in and do as much research as possible as to who is the better company. 

Getting a quote is a serious matter.  Go ahead and tell the companies you’re calling, that you are shopping the competition.  You’re in for a big surprise. 

Consider buying a house without looking at other houses. That would be silly right?  Or consider buying a car without looking at other vehicles.  That would also be silly.  It’s no different than anything else.  Getting a quote on a structured settlement, getting the best quote, can mean thousands of dollars depending on the size of your total settlement.

It can make a huge difference to your bottom line to get the best possible quote!

I certainly wouldn’t buy anything without shopping around. What happens is this…we’re desperate and some brokers will “play” off that desperation.  Usually people who sell their structured settlements need money fast. They’re willing to take substantially less just to get their money in one lump sum. That’s not really fair is it?

So if you’re going to have to share your money, you may as well find someone who will give you the very best quote, and not cheat you!  Getting a large amount of money at one time is a blessing, be careful it doesn’t turn into a curse.
