2009 Best Insurance Brokerage: Rogers & Young Insurance Services

An old-fashioned, hands-on approach to serving a diverse customer base has meant ongoing success for Rogers & Young Insurance Services.

“We feel being accessible to our clients is of most importance,” says Jeff Young, a principal of Windsor-based Rogers & Young Insurance Services, one of the largest independently owned insurance brokerages in Northern California. “We have a very strong support staff of experienced people who are able to give our clients a lot of extra attention and assistance. Most firms have let these standards slip away,” says Young.

Rogers & Young Insurance Services distinguishes itself by maintaining long-term relationships with business and personal clients, many of whom have substantial regional, national and international exposure.

Formed in 1993 with the merger of Frank P. Young Insurance Brokers and Steve Rogers Insurance, the secret of ongoing success for Rogers & Young Insurance Services likely rests with the rock solid American values of Frank Young, who started insuring small businesses and families throughout Sonoma County a half century ago.

“Fifty years ago, my father started the business as a small startup without a single client on day one,” says Young. Raised with his father’s sound concept of tenacity, service, accountability and respect within the community, it’s not surprising that this grounded, independent insurance company has evolved into the top pick for readers within the region.

Rogers & Young is a full-service insurance agency representing clients in purchasing the proper medical, life, disability, property and/or casualty insurance, processing claims, policy changes, certificates of insurance and assisting with billing issues. It’s been insuring homes, autos and businesses throughout Northern California since 1958.

Young considers the insurance industry to be a growing entity in which the latest developments are revolving around a variety of insurance carriers eager to write new business. “The need for carriers to increase their premium writings creates a constant hustle each and every day. We’re fortunate to have a firm that offers all forms of insurance,” says Young. “It’s a continuous navigation to be there for our clients in times when we need to have all of the latest carriers and products available.”

Rogers & Young clients require all sorts of specialty knowledge for state-of-the-art insurance services tailored specifically to regional industries such as automotive, construction and development, hospitality, manufacturing, medical, real estate, winery, vineyard, farming and ranching.

“We must be doing something right,” says Young with reference to the reader’s award. “It’s pretty exciting!”

Rogers & Young strives to deliver high-quality products to insure every aspect of family life including homes, vehicles and possessions. “We analyze loss exposures, recommend the proper coverage and then match those needs with the best available carriers and products,” says Young. The same level of attention is given to a client’s personal risks as is given to his or her business exposures.
