Our Values…

Where a handshake still means something.

There was a time when local businesses were truly local—owned by someone down the street, someone you knew by name. You could walk in, have a real conversation, shake a hand, and leave knowing your needs were understood. Before faceless corporations and automated phone lines took over, business was personal. At Independent Insurance Group, we bring that spirit back to insurance—offering honest advice, real relationships, and a level of care you won’t find in a call center.

Independent Insurance Group was built on honesty, clarity, and a genuine commitment to helping others. With experience in sales and client service since 1986, and over a decade spent guiding families through final expense planning, we’ve helped more than 200 families save money and find peace of mind during life’s hardest moments. We keep things simple, personal, and professional—just the way it used to be, with real conversations and a firm handshake.

Meet the team.

DeLaVega

Founder

"We’re not here to sell you insurance; we’re here to offer you peace of mind, the freedom to live each day knowing tomorrow is taken care of."


Bryce Ramsey

Managing General Agent

"Building relationships where clients know they can reach out anytime they need support is what truly matters to me. Anyone can make a sale, but not everyone can provide the expertise and genuine care that people need during life’s most challenging moments."


Marcus Sims

Senior Benefits Specialist

"Every family has a unique story, and I’m here to help protect it. I focus on listening first, then finding the right coverage to match each person’s needs — because peace of mind starts with feeling understood."
