The Kiesau Insurance team
About the agency

A practical, modern approach to a complicated market.

We are an independent insurance agency built on relationships, fast turnaround, and the kind of straight-talking guidance the California market demands right now.

Most homeowners don't need another quote — they need a strategy. We help families and retirees navigate non-renewals, rate shocks, and underwriting changes with access to the full market and a service team that actually picks up the phone.

What we cover

Coverage built
around you.

From the family home to the retirement plan, we design protection across personal, life, retirement, long-term care, and Medicare — all under one independent roof, with access to over 50 carriers.

01 / Personal

Home & auto insurance

Strategic placement across admitted and non-admitted markets. We work the full California carrier landscape so you don't have to.

  • Homeowners & dwelling fire
  • Auto & umbrella
  • Renters & condo
02 / Life

Life insurance

Coverage that actually fits — whether you're building a legacy or protecting a young family. The policy type matters less than the fit.

  • Term life
  • Permanent & IUL
  • Estate & trust planning
Get started

Talk to a real person.

No call center. No hold music. Just a quick conversation with someone who knows the California market.

The California difference

California's market isn't broken.
It's just hard.

Carriers are restricting. Rates are climbing. Non-renewals are common. Our job is to know the appetite of every market — admitted and non-admitted — and place you with the right one before the market shifts again.

i

Market intelligence

We track carrier appetite weekly. When State Farm pulls back or a new program opens, we already know where to move you.

ii

Full-market access

Admitted, non-admitted, surplus lines, and FAIR Plan strategies — 53 carriers, one conversation. The market works for you, not the other way around.

iii

Proactive service

Annual reviews. Renewal remarketing. Real responses to real questions. You're not a policy number here — you're a client we've usually known for years.

In our clients' words

The kind of relationships that last decades.

Real reviews from real clients across San Diego and beyond — straight from Google.

"They taught my husband and I the value of life insurance and took the time to explain it. They enlightened us on how to protect ourselves, save for retirement, and even got us better auto insurance with better coverage and a more affordable premium. From the moment you talk to them, you can tell they have your best interest at heart."

"We moved out of state and totally procrastinated switching our insurance. Austin asked me a couple of questions, got everything set up, and walked me through it so I knew exactly what I was getting. Literally the easiest process — and the most I've ever understood about exactly what I have covered."
