About ReliaQuote
Since our inception, more than 1 million Americans have trusted ReliaQuote with their life insurance needs.
As one of the largest direct marketers of life insurance products in the nation, we know life insurance and our expertise and experience is second to none. Our management team brings a unique blend of experience that includes almost two decades of direct-to-consumer life insurance sales, three generations of insurance agency management and senior leadership positions at leading insurance carriers. We have a thorough understanding for what makes the best possible life insurance shopping experience, and we also have a firsthand understanding of how insurance carriers operate. But most of all, we are mothers and fathers and people concerned with protecting your loved ones. We can relate to what you would expect and deserve from your life insurance agency.
We were founded in 1999 by three Northwestern Mutual life insurance agents, Will Jerro, Shervin Eftekhari and Dan Yoo, and an engineer from IBM, Phong Lam. Together, they realized that there had to be a better way for people to shop for life insurance policies than spend countless meetings with a dozen plus insurance agents. Their vision was to create a company that made it quick and easy for people to compare and buy life insurance policies from many of the nation’s top life insurance carriers. Additionally, they wanted to provide the personalized care and expertise that a great agent can provide but without the obligation and time commitment to meet in person.
As word spread of our better way to buy life insurance, our company experienced significant year-over-year growth. We went from a national insurance agency with half a dozen employees to well over 100 employees in three years, and then went from being a privately held company to part of a Fortune 500 company.
Today, we are a large privately-held insurance agency once again, part of the Zander Insurance Group of companies; and we are employee owned. Every one of our employees feels invested in giving you the best experience possible. When you call us, you’ll be speaking to an owner. The response to your email will come from an owner. Every step of the process is an opportunity for us to offer you outstanding service—and there’s no one more motivated to please than an owner-employee.
