Stoddard Agency Vetted and Trusted Referral Partners and Vendors

At the Stoddard Agency, we realize how important trust relationships are to any organization, especially when your money is on the line. To grow a business, you need to put the right people on the right seats on the bus, focus on what you are great at, and hire or outsource all activities that you are not ane expert at so that you can focus on your unique ability. You can be world-class at what you do, but not at what everybody everywhere else is doing. That’s why delegation, cooperation, and strategic alliances make all the difference.

With this in mind, we’ve partnered with key individuals who are truly great at what they do and formed alliances with them to provide you the best service possible, at more than fair prices. We have painstakingly hand-picked certain companies and professionals that we trust not only with our own business, but with our clients businesses as well. We know you are in good hands with these providers.

Getting on our list is very difficult, since we make sure that we have both personal experience and referral experience working with these vendors and professionals, and we pay close attention to the results they get with our clients. If you want to be added to this list, you’ll need to earn it!

If you are a business owner and you want trusted referrals sources, please peruse this list and contact us with any questions you may have. If you contact them directly, please let them know that Jesse sent you!

Independent Agent
Integrity Insurance & Financial

With other agencies, you get one company selling one insurance brand. With an independent insurance agency like Integrity Insurance, you get choices.

Insurance: Business, Property & Casualty

As a former contractor, I understand the challenges and needs of business owners. I am able to insure practically any type of business with my team of Underwriters. I am also able to insure personal home and auto policies.

I’ve been married for 27years with 2 children a Son 25 and a daughter 22. My wife is an RN and works as a dialysis nurse. My son is a journeyman Lineman (gets your power back on after a storm) and my daughter is attending Western Oregon University studying ASL (sign language).

As an avid golfer you will find me in the course anytime it can be fit in. I still enjoy working with my hands, wood working and handyman tasks. Some resent projects include turning wine barrels to chairs and building corn hole boards for charity auctions.

Integrity Insurance is independently owned and locally operated to handle your insurance needs. We focus on Western Washington and offer affordable and reliable insurance choices across Washington, but I’m licensed in other states as well.

Affordable, Reliable Insurance Choices
Integrity Insurance strives to offer you quality coverage, a high level of professional service, and a long-term relationship. As independent insurance agents in Washington, we’ll research rates and coverage from top insurance companies to find the best insurance rates and plans for you. We do the insurance shopping and comparing for you to save you time and money!

Why Choose an Independent Agent?
Not all insurance agents are the same! Choosing the right one can make a big difference—in price, service, and value.

With other agencies, you get one company selling one insurance brand. With an independent insurance agency like Integrity Insurance, you get choices.

Why? Because independent insurance agencies, like Integrity Insurance, represent several different insurance companies and can compare coverage and prices to find the best possible value for your circumstances. As independent insurance agents, we are members of the Washington community and are committed to doing business face-to-face and being your advocate in times of need.

Here are a few reasons why Integrity Insurance should be your first and last stop when looking for insurance:

We work for you when you have a claim.
We are not beholden to any one company. You don’t have to change agencies as your insurance and service needs change.
We are your consultants, working with you as you determine your needs.
We are value-hunters who look after your pocketbook to find the best price, coverage, and service combination.
We offer one-stop shopping for a full range of products, including home, renters, auto, business, life, and more.
We can periodically review your coverage to keep up with your changing insurance needs.
We are committed to customer satisfaction—the key to our livelihood.
We treat you like a person, not a number.
We have licensed professionals with strong customer and community ties.

There is a difference. Contact us today to find out how our independent insurance agency can help you find the right insurance coverage.
