Our Story

Established in 1935 to serve all Central Oregon, we have grown to provide our tailored services to nine additional states. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas.

 

Our mission is to provide individuals and businesses with an efficient method of shopping for and ultimately purchasing insurance coverage. Our clients can expect to receive professional advice and personalized service by our licensed agents and account managers. Because we represent some of the most financially sound regional and national insurance carriers, we can consistently shop our clients’ policies to make sure they obtain the most competitive rates.

Unlike a captive, or direct insurance company who only offers their own proprietary products, our agency is 100% independent of any one company. Many insurance consumers don’t fully understand just how important that really is. When it comes to something as important as insurance, it’s imperative that you work with an agency who has an in-depth knowledge of multiple insurance products, companies, and guidelines — not just one.

At the end of the day, what separates one agent from another, is their ability to proactively service their policy holders, and their knowledge of the insurance industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to their clients.

 

Welcome to our Agency!

Our agencies have been built by licensed individuals that live and work locally. Our team has been finding solutions in ten states for businesses and individuals for over 89 years. We are proud to be a diverse group of insurance professionals that can help protect most any line of insurance you need.

With over one hundred carriers, we can tailor coverage to your specific needs. We give options to suit our client’s comfort level. Come in and sit down in our offices, call, if you prefer to use our automated options, we strive to make business easy with us. We know our clients are busy and we want to make your insurance experience as stress free as possible. You deserve to know what you are paying for, and our team will take the time to explain your coverage and what it does for you when you need it.

Meet Monica the owner

George Elsom comes from an insurance background with one of the big captive carriers, Monica Elsom had a career in clothing manufacturing, both settled in Central Oregon with our two kids Kaylee and Austin. Moved up to Oregon by a local insurance agency looking for someone to run operations, after many years, they purchased Insure Pacific, Inc., Prineville Insurance Agency in 2008 from
that local agency to run and grow for themselves. In 2013 George and Monica purchased Gerald Ross Agency, Inc., from another local family that they had a relationship with. Both local independent agencies that wanted the next generation to take care of their staff and clients like they would. Our mission is to have the best coverage to compete with the “big guys” and be able to take care of our customers personally. Unfortunately, George passed away in 2015 and Monica has been running it successfully since. The agency has moved
forward improving and building individuals that want to grow and improve themselves. Our team works together to make sure our customers’ needs are met and we are proactive with the needs of everyone.

We love people and helping them protect the things that they have worked so hard for. Our team works together and supports each other in this mission.
