People often ask what sets an independent insurance agency apart—beyond the policies and paperwork, there’s always a unique story behind the scenes. Here at our insurance agency in Folsom, our story includes a memorable chapter with Dennis Carlson, who was recently featured on ESPN during the World Series of Poker Main Event. At age 71, Dennis reached Day 7 of the tournament and finished 39th out of more than 9,200 players—a remarkable accomplishment and a true lifetime highlight. ESPN even showcased him as a retired insurance agent from Folsom, adding an extra layer of excitement for our local community.
A Personal Touch Rooted in Our Community
We’re proud to continue the tradition that Dennis started. Now, his son Steve and daughter-in-law Dalis run the agency, keeping our family-owned spirit alive. For us, insurance isn’t just about policies—it’s about people. When you work with an independent agency like ours, you benefit from:
- Genuine Relationships: We take time to get to know you and your family, understanding your needs before recommending coverage.
- Choice from Multiple Carriers: As independent agents, we have access to a range of insurance providers, so we can find options tailored to your situation.
- Guidance during Life’s Changes: Whether you’re buying a new home, starting a business, or navigating retirement, we offer support you can rely on.
- Local Knowledge: Having served Folsom for years, we’re familiar with the unique needs of families and businesses in our community.
How We Make a Difference
Imagine facing a complex claim or needing advice about adjusting your coverage as your life evolves. Instead of a call center or an anonymous email chain, you’ll be able to reach out and talk with someone who knows your story. This hands-on approach is something we value deeply.
