Rocky California coastline representing Big Rock Insurance Agency

Our story

Built on trust. Driven by results.

Big Rock Insurance Agency was founded on a simple belief: every client deserves an advocate, not just a policy. We're an independent agency that works for you, not the insurance companies.

Who we are

Independent. Local. On your side.

Big Rock Insurance Agency was founded in Santee, located in east San Diego County, California with one goal: give individuals, families, and businesses access to the same quality coverage that big corporations take for granted. As an independent broker, we're not tied to any single carrier, we shop the market on your behalf.

With 10 years of experience and relationships with 20+ top-rated carriers, we have the leverage to find coverage that fits your life and your budget. Whether you're protecting your home, your business, or your family's future, we bring real options to the table.

We're licensed in San Diego County, CA, USA, and we're proud to serve clients across all four states with the same personal attention you'd expect from a neighbor.

Advocacy

When you have a claim, we're in your corner. We help you navigate the process and fight for the outcome you deserve.
