GMAC Real Estate Announces Innovative Insurance Program for Real Estate Professionals.


Partnership with HR Trust Gives Agents and Their Families Access to Affordable, Comprehensive Large-Group Insurance Programs

OAK BROOK, Ill. -- Pledging to make health insurance more affordable and at the same time more comprehensive for its 22,000 agents and their families nationwide, GMAC Real Estate GMAC Real Estate is a real estate franchise company in the United States, with 1300 locations in North America, and more than 22,000 real estate agents. The company is a division of GMAC Home Services, part of the larger General Motors Acceptance Corporation, which provides  (http://www.gmacrealestate.com) today unveiled the industry's most innovative large-group insurance program.

Through a partnership with HR Trust, one of the nation's leading insurance brokers, GMAC Real Estate, through GMAC's Investment and Insurance Services division, is providing individual agents and their families access to the kind of comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage normally available only as part of large-group insurance plans.

"For far too long, health insurance has been a financial thorn in the side of many real estate agents, and that just hasn't sat well with our company," said Lane Barnett, chief executive officer of GMAC Real Estate Franchise Operations. "Our new GMAC GMAC General Motors Acceptance Corporation

 Real Estate/HR Trust program is designed to let our agents tap into the benefits of true large-group health insurance coverage and benefits."

Because real estate professionals generally work as independent proprietors, agents and brokers are often precluded from the benefits of group health insurance rates and benefits, which can be significantly less expensive than individual policies. Barnett said the new GMAC Real Estate/HR Trust program bridges that gap, enabling individual agents and their families to design custom health insurance programs by choosing from five affordable medical plans, including dental and vision coverage.

Barnett explained that, to make it possible for agents to participate in the group insurance program, GMAC Real Estate and HR Trust created a unique arrangement through which participating agents belong, contractually, to a large corporation administered by HR Trust. In essence, HR Trust contracts with individual agents; as a contract employee, they are "assigned" to client businessCoin this case, their own real estate practice. As a contract employee with HR Trust, they have access to big-company group benefits.

"It's a very innovative way to make competitive group rates and reasonable deductibles available to our agents," Barnett said. "The GMAC Real Estate/HR Trust program gives our agents access to outstanding, affordable insurance coverage, and it's a great way for them to protect themselves and their loved ones loved ones nplseres mpl queridos
