Why this profile is public
Life insurance is a financial topic. Readers should be able to see who reviewed the information, understand that person’s role, and independently verify licensing instead of relying on a website badge.
Official license verification
Check the state record yourself.
Search each official regulator resource using “John Botello” or National Producer Number 19572241. License classes, status, appointments, and public record details are controlled by the regulator—not this website.

Professional role
Independent broker, not an insurance carrier.
John’s Insurance Marketing Organization relationship is with Family First Life, which supports contracting and carrier access. Final Expense Options is a separate consumer-facing website and does not use the Family First Life logo.
Virtual service
Comparisons and many carrier applications can be handled by phone or electronically. The selected carrier controls identity checks, application steps, and underwriting.
Carrier compensation
Consumers are not charged a fee to request options through this website. If a policy is issued, the producer may receive compensation from the issuing carrier.
No approval authority
John can explain and submit an application but cannot guarantee approval, a rate, an immediate benefit, or policy issuance. The carrier decides.
Editorial review
What John checks before a guide is published.
- 01Insurance terminology: whether “whole life,” “final expense,” “burial,” “guaranteed issue,” and benefit-period language are used accurately.
- 02Underwriting limits: whether a page avoids promising that a diagnosis, age, or health profile will receive a particular result.
- 03Rate examples: whether the source, date, coverage amount, assumptions, and non-quote limitation are visible.
- 04Consumer choices: whether a reader is told to compare premium guarantees, early benefits, beneficiaries, riders, and the delivered policy.
- 05Licensing statements: whether the state scope and official verification resources are current to the review date.
Editorial review is not carrier approval
Reviewing educational content does not make it a carrier form, policy, illustration, legal opinion, tax advice, medical advice, or individualized insurance recommendation.
