ABOUT OUR AGENCY:
Our agency opened in 2011 and is a small, close-knit team of three who value flexibility, independence, and strong customer relationships. Before becoming an agent, I worked as a quality control manager in industrial recycling and even owned a paintball park. I also spent time as a professional paintball player, which taught me a lot about discipline, focus, and teamwork.
I’ve always lived near the beach and consider myself a true Southern California local. Now that I’m an empty nester, I’ve been enjoying the chance to travel more and explore new places.
We offer dental or vision benefits after the probation period, a Simple IRA, and licensing reimbursement. Our office also uses a rotating Saturday schedule—team members work one Saturday a month and receive a half day or early release during the week to make up for it.
Our culture is very open, flexible, and relaxed. I believe in giving people the space to do their jobs well, so there’s no micromanaging here. We’re looking for someone who is responsible, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a flexible, independent environment. If you value autonomy and a supportive, laid-back office culture, this could be a great fit for you.
