Most people are one claim away from finding out their coverage wasn’t right.

A captive agent can only sell you one company’s products. If that policy doesn’t fit your situation perfectly, you get the closest thing they have. There is no comparison. There is no shopping. And there is often no one who checks in a year later.

Dwelling coverage that hasn’t kept pace with construction costs — you’d be underinsured if you had to rebuild
A standard homeowners policy for a lake property with a dock, a lift, and a boat — none of which are covered
A business policy that was right three years ago — before the second location, the fleet vehicle, and the new employees
No umbrella policy for a household with a teen driver and real assets to protect

The good news?

Every gap is findable — and fixable. Here’s how we do it.

1

We learn your situation

Not just your zip code. We ask about your property, your family, your business, and what you actually own — so coverage reflects reality.

2

We shop our carrier partners

We compare pricing across our 11 core carrier partners and go to specialty markets when your situation calls for it — lake properties, classic cars, hard-to-place risks.

3

We stay in touch

Every 12 months we reach out to review your coverage. When your life changes — new home, new car, new business — your coverage should change with it.

There is a difference between independent, captive, and doing it yourself. It matters.

Captive Agent

e.g. State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, American Family

  • ✕  One company’s products only
  • ✕  No ability to shop the market
  • ✕  Works for the insurance company
  • ✕  You start over if you outgrow them
  • ✕  No advocate when you have a claim

Direct Writer / DIY Online

e.g. GEICO, Progressive.com, buying direct

  • ✕  You are your own expert
  • ✕  Gaps you may not know to ask about
  • ✕  No one reviewing your coverage over time
  • ✕  Call center support when things go wrong
  • ✕  Works until it doesn’t — you find out at claim time

Questions we hear every week

Real answers — not insurance-industry boilerplate.

It means a team of experts actively participating in your insurance planning with you — guiding you on coverage and cost decisions. You should pay less and have better coverage than doing it yourself. A captive agent can only offer one company’s products. We work with 11 core carrier partners and access specialty markets when needed to find the right fit for your specific situation.
Annually. We reach out every 12 months to review your policies, update coverage for any life changes, and make sure your discounts are current. Life changes — new home, new vehicle, new family member, new business — and your coverage should change with it. You shouldn’t have to remember to call us.
Replacement cost is what it costs to demolish and completely rebuild your home from scratch at today’s labor and material costs. Market value is what you would sell your existing property for on the resale market. These numbers are often very different — and your dwelling coverage limit should be based on replacement cost, not market value. Most people are underinsured because no one explained this distinction when they bought their policy.
Most likely yes — but it’s worth double-checking the coverage limits and exclusions in your actual policy. Standard homeowners policies cover other structures at 10% of your dwelling limit, which may not be enough depending on what you have. Docks and lifts in particular can have sublimits or exclusions that vary by carrier. We review these specifically for every client with lake or rural property.
Call us. We’ll guide you on next steps — that’s what we’re here for. We help you understand the process, make sure the claim is filed correctly, and advocate for you if anything gets complicated. You can always call the carrier directly, but calling us first means you have an expert in your corner from the start.

Based in Chaska. Serving the southwest metro and beyond.

We are licensed across Minnesota and in 11 other states. These are the communities right in our backyard — where local service means you are calling a neighbor, not a call center.
