These are our photographs, not stock. The people reading your policy have the same exposures you do — three generations, one desk.

One intake, three areas

A household, a business,
and the people who depend on you.


Tell us what you need once. One licensed Bollinsure broker coordinates the household, business, and life coverage that belongs together.

Quoted in 1–2 daysHouseholds
Personal

Personal insurance

Your house, your cars, and the umbrella over all of it.

Limit

Coverage A is a rebuild cost, not a market value. Most are indexed at 3% a year and have never been re-tested.

Deductible

Wildfire and wind are written as a percentage. On a $1.2M dwelling, 2% is $24,800 before the policy responds.

Endorsement

Scheduled jewellery, water backup and ordinance-or-law come off at renewal more often than they go on.

Commercial

Commercial insurance

Built around how your business actually runs.

Class code

The wrong class code on workers' comp is the most common overcharge we find, and the refund is yours.

Hired & non-owned

If an employee drives their own car for you, your commercial auto probably does not respond.

Business income

Written in months of indemnity, not dollars. Most policies assume you reopen faster than you would.

What we check first

Quoted in 3–7 daysPeople
Life

Life insurance

For the people and obligations that depend on you.

Need

The amount should follow the obligation: income, debt, a buy-sell agreement, or an estate plan.

Structure

Term and permanent coverage solve different problems. We start with the need, not the product.

Ownership

Who owns the policy and who receives the benefit can matter as much as the face amount.

Our review and advice cost you nothing. If you place coverage through us, the insurance carrier pays us a commission.

Commission varies by carrier and line. Some carriers also pay contingent or profit-share compensation based on the performance of an entire book of business. Ask what applies to a policy we place and we will tell you.

These are ten of them — not all of them. We hold 334 carrier appointments in total, so +324 more sit behind this row — admitted markets, specialty markets and the California FAIR Plan among them.

Carrier names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are shown to describe market access, not endorsement. Access does not guarantee eligibility — underwriting is the carrier’s decision.

Common insurance questions

Common questions, clear answers.

A broker works on your behalf — not the insurance company’s. We evaluate what you need covered, compare policies across the markets we hold appointments with, and recommend what genuinely fits. No obligation to buy, and no pressure.

A captive agent represents one company and can only sell that company’s products. An independent broker like Bollinsure holds hundreds of carrier appointments, which means real comparison — and coverage matched to your situation rather than to one company’s shelf.

Rarely. Two policies can look similar in price and behave completely differently at claim time — coverage, exclusions and deductibles all vary. We aim at the right coverage at a fair price, not the lowest number on the quote sheet.

Yes — coverage, deductibles and availability vary by carrier, property and location. We review admitted-market options, non-admitted options, FAIR Plan considerations and companion coverage where appropriate.

That is one of the most valuable things we do. Send the declarations page and a licensed broker reads what you currently have, names any material gaps, explains the tradeoffs, and compares alternatives when a change would help. If what you have is right, we say so — there is no obligation to move a policy.
