Nick Raia co-founded Raialife Partners P.C., Insurance Planning over 22 years ago with his father, Russell.  The Insurance business has changed dramatically over that time span.  When it comes to the overall changes in the market, awareness and industry knowledge are key to successfully managing a client’s insurance portfolio.

Nick started his career as a life agent for Jefferson Pilot.  His rapid success continued with the addition of welfare benefits.  In addition to the core aspects of group insurance, he also focuses on all factors which complement an employee benefit package, including payroll, cobra, and compliance.  Nick remains focused on the ever-changing climate of insurance regulation and procedure by routinely participating in continuing education. 

Creating and offering a variety of options for customers is essential.  Communication and expeditious timing are of the greatest importance to Nick.  His clients’ interests come first, and they deserve the attention and respect he brings.  In addition, his experience working with insurance carriers and third-part vendors to develop distinctive health plans for medium to large companies is one of several areas of business planning that Nick enjoys.  Nick states “I feel the service I provide my clients is superior and my success in this business is the direct result of the strong relationships I have develop with my clients and carriers.”

Nick has over 30 years of business experience and is a current member of the National Association of Health Underwriters as well as the local chapter in Houston where his office is located.  He is licensed in four states.  A native Houstonian, Nick graduated from St. Thomas High School and University of Houston with a BBA in Marketing.  In addition to Texas, Nick is also licensed in Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming. 

Nick and his wife, Tina, have two daughters, Allie and CC.  Allie is a Biology major at University of Georgia and CC is studying Finance at The University of Oklahoma.  When he is not in the office or spending time with family, Nick enjoys reading, exercise and playing golf with his friends.
