Wildfires, rising rebuild costs, and several major insurers (State Farm, Allstate, others) pulling back from California have driven home insurance rates up sharply in 2024–2026. We help San Diego homeowners navigate the changing market and find coverage from carriers still writing new business in California.
We're an independent insurance agency licensed throughout California, serving clients across San Diego County — including La Jolla, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Poway, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and the surrounding communities. We also serve clients statewide.
As an independent agency we offer auto, home, life, business, and renters insurance, plus long-term care and retirement planning. Being independent means we shop multiple carriers to find the best fit — we're not locked into one company.
