About Balcos Insurance

Balcos Insurance

Company History

The Balcos Brothers are committed to ensuring that their staff of about 25 employees are the most professional, friendly, trustworthy personal and business insurance agents around.

Balcos Insurance agents have pledged to make sure you understand your insurance coverage options and provide you with an insurance proposal that has been personalized to your unique needs.

Our insurance offices are in Bellingham and Seattle's historic Ballard / Crown Hill neighborhood. We now serve clients all over Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Arizona, Alaska and Nevada.

We're Independent

An independent insurance agent can save you money - even thousands of dollars per year!

Why restrict yourself to the price and coverage offered by one insurance company? Get the best insurance options available by using an independent insurance agent - an agent that works for you.

As independent insurance agents, we do the hard parts for you:

  • Your insurance options are researched in depth.
  • You get an insurance company that matches your individual needs.
  • We negotiate to get you comprehensive coverage and competitive premiums.
  • Your agent will get you the best available insurance for your situation.
  • We work openly and honestly for you, our valued client.

Independent Insurance Agents vs. Captive Insurance Agents

Captive Insurance Agents

  1. They are highly regulated by the insurance company they represent.
  2. Captive insurance agents are very limited in the preferred products they can offer.
  3. Captive insurance agents can write for other markets using wholesale brokers who usually offer higher cost insurance that may have limited coverage.

Independent Insurance Agents (like Balcos Insurance)

  1. OUR insurance companies compete for YOUR business.
  2. We can provide several types of insurance quotes. At Balcos, we offer both personal insurance (home, car, health & life insurance) and business insurance services to fit your individual needs.
  3. Can compare prices, products and services from a variety of insurance companies.
  4. If your current insurance company can't write the policy you need, we have other options with a variety of insurers.
