We are looking to add a Broker to our rapidly growing Independent Agency! If you're looking to start your career in insurance, then there is simply no better opportunity! Get in on the ground floor and earn above industry average compensation (with unlimited potential!), AND the opportunity to earn equity and/or start your own agency. We equip our agents with focused training, continuing education opportunities and s one-on-one mentorship program designed to help them learn the ins and outs of the industry.

Becoming a successful agent takes commitment, hard work, time and effort. But, unlike many other small business opportunities, there are no franchise fees or long-term financial commitments.

You Don't even have to quit your day job! A potential agent can begin building an business without quitting their current job or sacrificing savings to get started. It’s a 4-month developmental period intended to give candidates the steps to becoming an agent and ease the transition into becoming full-time. The “try it on for size” approach gives our agents honest insight into the expectations and commitment necessary for success as an agent, so together we can decide if it’s a good fit.
