Short Summary

Bridge, at askbridge.com, is a licensed life settlement and viatical settlement brokerage. It represents policyowners rather than buying policies, and it is a fiduciary to the seller. The firm runs a bidding platform among competing buyers, works on a fee only basis, and is licensed in a number of states including Florida, Texas, Oregon and New Jersey. It was founded by Brandon Selfors.
Bridge operates as an independent licensed life settlement and viatical settlement brokerage founded by Brandon Selfors, publishing its state licensing openly.

Company Reviews

Bridge holds a 5.0 rating from 12 reviews on Google. Nearly every one names Brandon, the founder, and describes what he actually did rather than offering general praise.

The detail in them is unusual. One seller with ALS notes that the commission charged was lower than expected for the level of service. Another had paid premiums for twenty years, expected to walk away with nothing, and ended up receiving more than had been paid in. Several describe being walked through the process without pressure.

Twelve reviews is a small sample and they are uniformly positive, so read it as a strong early signal rather than a long track record. What gives it weight is specificity. Reviews that describe a situation are harder to manufacture than reviews that describe a feeling.

A Closer Look For Policyowners

Bridge is a fellow life settlement broker and the resemblance to Windsor is close. Both are licensed. Both are fiduciaries to the policyowner. Both run competitive bidding rather than passing along a single offer. Both publish comparison content explaining the difference between brokers, providers and marketing companies.

Their consumer education is genuinely good. Bridge is direct about the fact that providers are not fiduciaries, that working directly with a provider is not in a seller interest, and that there are marketing organisations presenting themselves as licensed companies when they are not. That is the same warning this directory exists to give.

Bridge also publishes side by side comparisons against named brokers, including at least one firm listed in this directory. Windsor takes no issue with that. A market where brokers compare themselves openly is healthier than one where nobody names anybody. The useful test for a policyowner is the same in every case: how many buyers, can they be named, what is the fee, and which state issued the license.

Understanding The Market

A fee only broker is paid by the seller rather than by the buyer, which removes one of the oldest conflicts in this industry. When a broker is compensated by the company purchasing the policy, the incentive to push a particular buyer is structural rather than personal.

The 2006 New York Attorney General case against a large provider turned on exactly this. Concealed payments to brokers were alleged to have steered sellers toward one buyer and away from higher bids. That history is why fee transparency and fiduciary duty are not marketing language in this market. They are the safeguards that were built afterwards.

How is Bridge different from Windsor?

What does fee only mean?

The broker is paid by the seller rather than by the purchasing company, which removes the incentive to favour any particular buyer.
