Insurance Agency Owner

Overview Farmers Insurance District 49 is recruiting the next group of Agency Owners under the enhanced Retail Program, effective July 2026. This role is suited for entrepreneurs, current or former business owners, sales leaders, and experienced professionals who are ready to build and operate their own multi-line insurance agency under the Farmers brand. As an Agency Owner, you are an independent business owner — not an employee. You'll build equity in a contract with a sellable book of business, lead your own team, and shape your own growth trajectory, with the training, products, and support of a nationally recognized carrier behind you. Responsibilities Build and operate a multi-line insurance agency offering Auto, Home, Life, Commercial, and Specialty products Recruit, hire, train, and lead your own staff of producers and service team members Develop local market strategy through community presence, referral partnerships, and centers of influence Manage your P&L, client experience, and long-term growth plan Represent the Farmers brand with professionalism and a long-term service mindset The Retail Program (Effective July 2026) The July 2026 Retail Program is one of the strongest new-agent structures Farmers has offered to date: 36-month bonus structure designed to support income during the agency build phase Up to 340% monthly bonus on qualifying new business premium Up to $3.5M in total program earning potential (cumulative bonus cap) Full Farmers product suite — Auto, Home, Life, Specialty, Commercial, and Umbrella District 49 support — structured training and one-on-one coaching from a dedicated Agency Business Consultant Ideal Candidate Strong candidates typically come from one of the following backgrounds: Current or former small business owners seeking a more scalable model with an established brand Sales leaders or top individual producers ready to transition into ownership Professionals transitioning from finance, real estate, hospitality, military, or corporate operations Disciplined, coachable operators focused on long-term business building Qualifications $100,000 in liquid capital for the standard Retail Program path (alternative pathways available — see below) Strong credit history and clean background Property & Casualty and Life licenses, or the ability to obtain them in a reasonable timeframe Prior sales, leadership, or business ownership experience preferred Must reside in Metro Phoenix Alternative Pathways to Ownership Candidates who do not meet the standard capital requirement may still qualify through one of two alternative paths: Protégé Program — Join an established Farmers agency as a staff producer, complete licensing and structured training, and graduate into your own agency.
