Being independent means we are not tied to one insurance company. Below are some of the carriers we work with and what each one is good at. The list keeps growing, because we keep adding new appointments.

Some of the carriers we work with
Each card says what that carrier is generally good at, so you can see why shopping around matters. It is not the whole list: appointments keep being added, and business insurance opens up even more markets.
Travelers
A broad personal and business writer. Often competitive on a well-maintained home bundled with auto.
Travelers billing and claims
Liberty Mutual
A national carrier with strong auto and home bundling. We can quote it directly and compare it at the same time.
Liberty Mutual billing and claims
Nationwide
Wide product shelf across auto, home, umbrella and business. A useful all-in-one option for a household with several policies.
Nationwide billing and claims
The Hartford
Long-standing small business and commercial writer, and a mature-driver auto option.
The Hartford billing and claims
Foremost
Specialty property: manufactured homes, landlord and vacant risks, motorcycles, boats and RVs.
Foremost billing and claims
Bristol West now Foremost Insurance Group
Non-standard auto, including drivers with tickets, a lapse in coverage, or an SR-22 filing.
Bristol West billing and claims
National General
Another non-standard auto market, and a common home for SR-22 filings and high-risk records.
National General billing and claims
Branch
A newer bundled home and auto writer built around instant pricing. Worth a look on a clean bundle.
Branch billing and claims
Stillwater
Strong renters and condo market, plus homeowners in areas other carriers get picky about.
Stillwater billing and claimsThe difference that matters
Both cost you the same, because independent agents are paid by the carrier rather than by the client.
A captive agent
Represents one insurance company and can only quote that company's rates.
A rate increase leaves you with a higher deductible or less coverage.
Moving carriers means starting again with a stranger at another agency.
Nobody is comparing anything on your behalf between renewals.
Shield of Faith, independent
Your information goes to every carrier that fits your risk, not just one.
When a carrier's appetite or pricing shifts, we move you without you having to ask.
Specialty markets sit alongside standard ones, so a hard risk is not a dead end.
One agent holds the whole file across every policy you own.
More carriers does not mean more of the same quote. Each one has an appetite: the kind of risk it wants, the kind it will take reluctantly, and the kind it will not write at all. Most of an independent agent's value is knowing that map before anyone fills in a form.
A clean record with a newer vehicle goes to the standard markets, where the competition is real and the spread between best and worst is wide. A record with a ticket, a lapse or an SR-22 requirement goes to Bristol West or National General, which are built for exactly that and price it as a specialty rather than a penalty.
The roof usually decides it. Age and material determine which carriers will offer replacement cost rather than actual cash value, and that clause matters more after a monsoon than the monthly difference does. Foremost handles the specialty property that standard carriers get picky about, including manufactured homes and landlord risks.
The Hartford, Travelers and Nationwide all write small commercial, and appetite varies sharply by class of work. A contractor and a professional office are not competing for the same carrier's attention, and quoting them the same way wastes everybody's time.
What that means for you
You fill in one set of information, once
Difficult risks get sent to the markets that want them rather than declined by the ones that do not
At renewal the file gets reshopped rather than rolled over
The recommendation comes with a reason, not just a number
Questions people actually ask
Which insurance companies is Shield of Faith appointed with?
A growing list. We are a Travelers insurance agent, a Liberty Mutual insurance agent, a Nationwide insurance agent, a Hartford insurance agent and a Foremost insurance agent, and we also write Bristol West, National General, Branch and Stillwater. Those are some of the insurance carriers in Arizona we work with. New appointments keep being added, and on the commercial side there are even more markets. Between them they cover standard and non-standard auto, home, condo, renters, specialty property and small commercial.
Are you a Safeco insurance agent or a Progressive insurance agent?
Not today. A Safeco logo sits in our old website's media library and Progressive comes up in advertising research, but neither is an appointment this agency currently holds, and we do not list a carrier we cannot actually write. If you are shopping a quote from either, call us and we will tell you honestly how the carriers we do write compare against it.
Which insurance carrier is the best?
There is no single best carrier, which is the honest answer and the reason this agency is independent. The best carrier is the one whose appetite matches your specific risk: your roof, your record, your vehicles, your class of business. That is different for different people and it changes over time.
Can I switch carriers at renewal?
Yes, and renewal is usually the right moment to do it. Moving mid-term can trigger short-rate cancellation charges and rarely pays. We keep your renewal dates on the calendar and reshop the file before them, not after a rate increase lands.
Do I pay more by going through an agency instead of direct?
No. Independent agents are typically compensated by the carrier rather than by the client, so there is generally no additional cost to work with one. You get the carrier's rate plus somebody comparing on your behalf.
What does SIAA membership mean?
The Strategic Insurance Agency Alliance is an alliance of independent agencies. Membership gives a local agency access to a broader network of top-rated carriers than it could reach alone, which is how a small local agency in Peoria can quote you across many carriers.
Why is Bristol West listed as Foremost Insurance Group?
Bristol West is part of the Foremost Insurance Group. Both appear on our carrier list because both write business, and the customer service page carries their separate billing and claims links.
Do you write Safeco or Progressive?
The carriers on this page are some of the ones we work with today: Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, The Hartford, Foremost, Bristol West, National General, Branch, Stillwater. If you are looking for a company that is not listed, call and ask rather than assuming. We add new appointments regularly, and this page is updated as we do.

I had a great experience with Shield of Faith Insurance! Mena took the time to understand our family's needs and explained each part of the coverage clearly. He helped us set up a home insurance policy with stronger protection and bundled it with our auto insurance for a package at a lower cost. What stood out most was his honesty and patience, he focused only on what truly benefited us, making the whole process simple and stress-free. We now have better coverage and peace of mind thanks to Mena. Highly recommend!

Shield of Faith Insurance made getting renters insurance simple and affordable, after talking to a few other brokers, they were the ones who helped me get the best coverage with no stress!

I had a really good experience working with Shield of Faith Insurance. I needed new rental insurance as I was moving apartments. I got sent details on the policy next day and all I had to do was sign the forms. I ended up with a really good deal and saved about 20% compared to my old policy. I reached out to him again about auto insurance as well. I have had Geico for over 5 years and my premiums had only gotten more expensive. He somehow ended up getting me more coverage for half the price I was paying before. The entire process was easy and Mena was very responsive to email and text. Would highly encourage you to take a look and see what type of deals he can make for your insurance policies.

I had a fantastic experience with Shield of Faith Insurance! Mena was incredibly patient and took the time to walk me through every detail of the coverage options. He made sure I understood the benefits clearly and only recommended what truly made sense for my specific situation. Thanks to Mena, I now have an auto policy that provides much better coverage at a significantly lower cost than what I was paying before. The entire process was smooth and efficient. He handled most of the backend work, which saved me a lot of time and hassle. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and helpful insurance agent, I highly recommend Mena at Shield of Faith Insurance!
