The Maryland Market for Insurance Agents
Maryland is a dense Mid-Atlantic market with high household incomes and strong term and IUL demand alongside final expense. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, and Silver Spring. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Maryland agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Maryland agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.

Do I need to be a Maryland resident to get a Maryland life insurance license?
No. Maryland issues non-resident licenses to agents already licensed in good standing in their home state. The non-resident application is filed through NIPR with no additional Maryland pre-licensing required.
Which Maryland license should I get for selling final expense and term life?
The Maryland Life Producer (Life-Only) license is the minimum required to sell life insurance, including final expense and term/whole life. If you also want to sell Medicare Supplement or under-65 health, you can either take a combined Life & Health course up front or add the Health line later. TPG agents typically start Life-Only and add Health when they are ready.
