About
CalRose Insurance is an independent agency, free from the influence of any one insurance carrier. Why is that important to you? Everybody is different. Each of us owns different things. We own businesses, boats, motorcycles, and all different types of cars. Because of this, our risks are all different too, requiring insurance that protects better against those risks.
It's pretty much impossible to the best at everything right? So how is it every insurance company says they give the best coverage at the best price? Because for the most part that isn't true, each insurer has their strengths and weaknesses. As an independent agency, we can help assess insurer's and your risks and see which combination makes the most sense for you. A website can't do that, it take's a person.
Independence is what Don Layson knew would benefit his customers most. Insurance is not a commodity. It is a vital component of your financial future. It's important for you to have coverage that's specific to your needs. Don Layson has built CalRose Insurance to meet those needs, now and for generations to come.
