Who to call
Massachusetts homes are expensive, with a median value of $562,100, and 62.5% of homes are owned. That makes mortgage protection a strong fit. 19.9% of residents are 65 or older, so final expense has a real market too. A quarter of residents (25.1%) speak a language other than English at home. This is a state with its own rules: a state do not call list, telemarketer registration, an 8 PM cutoff and all party consent to record.
