Hearthmark is an AI-native brokerage built for mortgage protection and term life insurance. AI agents staff the front office around the clock — qualifying per TCPA and state licensing, scoring intent, scheduling live calls, and chasing the renewal. The moment a prospect is ready, a licensed human advisor takes the handoff. No lead slips out of the pipeline.
The deliberate split
The split is intentional. AI absorbs the volume work that AI voice agents handle in production today; humans hold the accountability that a policy demands.
Pipeline
Form, partner transfer, or self-sourced. Time-stamped and consent-checked.
Calling-hour window, jurisdiction of the licensed advisor, consent language on file.
Mortgage balance, dependents, policy term. Carrier matrix runs in the background.
Window booked against the advisor's calendar, confirmations sent, no-shows rebooked.
Brief is delivered: intent score, pre-quotes, state license matched. Host-guest transition.
Policy owner from day one. Annual review owned by the advisor, not the CRM.
Economics
No new billing model. No per-call SKU. Hearthmark runs on the per-lead economics and SaaS budgets independent producers already operate against — wide enough to widen the funnel, narrow enough to ship this quarter.
Inside the standard mortgage-protection live-transfer pay range — and consistent across the carriers you already book with.
SaaS budget an independent producer can sign off on without the captive-channel headache.
Founder
Dionne Powe spent 26 years in hospitality operations and 19 running multi-unit Chili's teams — the kind of training where the transition from the floor to the table is the whole point of the job.
Hearthmark's hand-off — AI to advisor, advisor to client — is built on that discipline. The moment an AI voice agent hands a call off to a licensed advisor is the moment a guest hears, for the first time, that the house knows they're there. Get that wrong and the deal dies; get it right and the policy funds.
The AI doesn't close the call. It opens the door, confirms the language, checks the license jurisdiction, and waits — like a host who knows the guest is on the way.
The advisor walks in already briefed: intent score, pre-quotes, family situation, mortgage balance. The handoff is a greeting, not a handoff.
The client never hears a script reading itself. They feel, for the first time on the call, that they are talking to the house.
Compliance
Mortgage-protection and term-life work is regulated work. Hearthmark is built so that the AI never operates ahead of the license.
