Sound familiar?
You signed on with a broker you liked. Then you got handed off to a service team. Now renewals show up by email with no explanation, questions take days to answer, and you feel like an account number.
That is the standard experience at most brokerages. Around here, you get the broker you signed up with, for as long as you stay.
What you get instead
A real relationship with the same broker, year after year.
Plain-English guidance on plan choices and trade-offs, with a clear recommendation.
Direct support for your employees. Your team can call us with their benefits questions. No gatekeeping.
Modern admin tools: Employee Navigator for benefits administration, custom benefits booklets, and streamlined onboarding, so the paperwork shrinks instead of growing.
A strategy, not just a quote. Benefits are part of how you attract and keep good people, and we design them that way.
Who we work with
Small businesses with 1 to 50 employees, most between 10 and 30. Our clients are business owners and office managers who wear a lot of hats and want a broker they can actually reach.
We serve companies within about an hour of Portland and Vancouver: Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Oregon City, and the surrounding areas. Licensed in Oregon and Washington. We work on-site or remotely, whatever fits your team.
We also help individuals and families with health, dental, vision, life, and disability plans, including early retirees and the self-employed.
What clients say
“He’s my go-to for any insurance questions and needs, both personally and for my small business. This year I was in a tight spot and he went above and beyond to help me navigate the marketplace and get results.”
Mary Racila, Google review
“JR has helped me navigate insurance for our Oregon small business and Portland-based family over the past two years. He’s knowledgeable, super responsive, easy to work with, and not afraid to provide clear opinions.”
