Commercial Insurance Broker

SimpleINSURE is a growing commercial insurance brokerage, based in Garden City, NY, built for producers who want to write real business across multiple industries and coverage lines. We currently focus on core commercial placements including general liability, workers’ comp, commercial auto, BOPs, umbrella, professional liability, cyber, and specialty risks, with plans to continue expanding carrier and product access. We are seeking sales and operational staff.

Our agency is affiliated with our established real estate and specialty finance platform with active operating businesses, properties, and investment-related entities. That affiliation provides agents with immediate access to existing commercial insurance opportunities, operational infrastructure, and industry relationships, not a cold start.

This is an opportunity to help build a brokerage platform early, with flexibility to grow your own book across any commercial vertical while leveraging internal deal flow, shared resources, and long-term expansion plans.
