Why an Independent Agency Gets You a Better Result

Captive agents represent a single carrier and can only offer you that company’s products, which means if a competitor would underwrite your profile more favorably, you will never find out from them. Independent agencies have contracts with dozens of top-rated carriers and can run your application across all of them at once to find the one that views your health profile, income structure, and coverage goals most favorably. For interior designers and fashion professionals who may have income documentation quirks, business ownership in the mix, or specific coverage targets, this comparison process can translate directly into lower monthly premiums and better policy terms.

Insurance By Heroes operates as a fully independent agency with no loyalty to any single carrier. Our agency was founded by Josh Wahls, a former first responder and military spouse, and everyone on staff comes from a background in public service. That background shapes how we work with clients because public service teaches you to show up, be direct, and put other people first. We bring that same commitment to every client we serve, regardless of their profession, income level, or background.

We are licensed in 49 states plus Washington DC, we charge no fees for our services, and we work with dozens of top-rated carriers to make sure you see the full range of what is available at your age, health classification, and coverage target. Whether you are a solo interior designer, a fashion entrepreneur with a growing team, or anything in between, the path to the right coverage starts with real quotes from real carriers rather than guessing. That is exactly what we are here to help you do.
