Our Mission
InsuranceXpertise was founded in 2019 with a simple mission: cut through the jargon, eliminate the bias, and help American consumers make smarter insurance decisions. We've grown to serve over 2 million readers a month, all while staying fiercely independent.
Why We Exist
The U.S. insurance industry is worth $1.4 trillion. It employs millions of agents whose paychecks depend on selling you policies — sometimes the wrong ones. We're not agents. We're educators. Every guide we publish is written for one person: you, the consumer.
Editorial Standards
Every article on InsuranceXpertise follows our 4-step editorial process:
- Researched by a licensed agent with at least 5 years of U.S. industry experience
- Fact-checked against current carrier data and state regulations
- Reviewed by our editorial board of CFPs and CLU-designated advisors
- Updated at least every 12 months to reflect rate, regulation, and product changes
