I’m excited to announce the merger of my company with a regional leader in group benefits, NorthPointe Insurance. This partnership enables me to offer my clients full-service benefits planning and increased customer service.
NorthPointe brings considerable expertise in the areas of workers compensation, liability and property and casualty, along with a history of excellence in providing defined benefits, health and retirement planning.
In addition, the agency is particularly adept in prevailing wage compliance and benefits planning. In fact, it was Robert Hope, one of the principals of NorthPointe, who first introduced me to government contracting benefits nearly 19 years ago, just as I was getting licensed.
“As friends of Chris Nesbitt over many years, we are very excited on the merger with Vesity Financial and privileged to be working together” said Robert Hope after the public announcement on Friday, Sep 18.
Co-owner Zach Hope added “We truly believe the merger between Vesity Financial and Northpointe Insurance will be a huge win for both organizations and especially the clients. Definitely a partnership where one and one make three.”
NorthPointe holds licenses in 15 states and has representatives in 6 states, with a specific focus in California, Arizona and Nevada.
This represents a perfect fit for my business in terms of better servicing and enhanced product offerings for my group clients, who now have at their disposal a single brokerage firm for all their insurance needs.
More info on the merger will be available soon; meanwhile a detailed company profile is below.
Note: This merger has no impact on my partnership with Fortress Financial Group, a team of financial professionals offering retirement education and services in Southern California. Fortress serves individual clients, whereas NorthPointe serves primarily groups. I remain partnered with both firms.
