Insurance Agent — SunSipper Insurance Group
Build Your Insurance Business While Becoming a Trusted Resource in Your Community
About SunSipper
At SunSipper, our mission is simple:
Safe. Healthy. Affordable Housing Solutions.
We are building a nationwide network designed to help individuals, families, homeowners, and local businesses become financially stronger while creating pathways to long-term stability and wealth.
As SunSipper expands its insurance services, we are looking for licensed, experienced insurance agents who want to build their own local insurance business within the SunSipper network.
This is an opportunity for an insurance professional who wants to combine their industry experience with entrepreneurship while becoming a trusted insurance resource in their community.
The Opportunity
As a SunSipper Insurance Agent, you will work directly with individuals, families, homeowners, and businesses in your community to help them identify and obtain insurance coverage appropriate for their needs.
Depending on your licenses, appointments, and areas of expertise, your business may include:
- Life insurance
- Health insurance
- Property insurance
- Homeowners insurance
- Auto insurance
- Business insurance
- Commercial insurance
- Renters insurance
- Specialty insurance
- Other insurance products permitted by your licenses and carrier appointments
You will have the opportunity to develop long-term client relationships rather than simply handling one-time transactions.
What You'll Do
As a local SunSipper Insurance Agent, you will:
- Build and operate your insurance business within your community
- Meet with individuals, families, homeowners, and local businesses
- Identify clients' insurance needs and help them understand their options
- Present appropriate insurance products based on client needs
- Develop and maintain long-term client relationships
- Provide ongoing service to your clients
- Maintain accurate client and policy records
- Follow all applicable insurance laws, regulations, and carrier requirements
- Maintain required licenses and appointments
- Build relationships with local Business Partners and community members
- Work collaboratively with other SunSipper divisions
- Develop referral relationships within your local community
- Grow your book of business over time
You're Not Starting From Zero
One of the biggest challenges for an independent insurance agent is consistently finding qualified prospects.
SunSipper is building an ecosystem of community members, homeowners, entrepreneurs, and local businesses that can create opportunities for licensed insurance professionals.
Instead of having to build your entire business through traditional cold prospecting, you will have the opportunity to develop relationships within a larger community network.
SunSipper's model is designed around serving people throughout multiple stages of their lives and financial journeys.
A person may initially enter the SunSipper community because they need:
- Affordable housing
- Real estate services
- A contractor
- Tax or accounting services
- Financial guidance
As their needs evolve, insurance may become an important part of protecting what they are building.
That creates an opportunity for you to become the insurance professional they know and trust.
The Bigger Picture
SunSipper is building more than individual service businesses.
We are building a connected network of professionals who can serve the same communities from different areas of expertise.
As an Insurance Agent, you can develop relationships with:
Individuals → Families → Homeowners → Entrepreneurs → Local Businesses
Those relationships can create opportunities for new clients, referrals, policy reviews, and long-term business growth.
The goal is to help you build a sustainable insurance practice based on relationships—not simply one-time sales.
Compensation
This is an independent contractor opportunity with an entrepreneurial compensation structure.
There is no traditional salary for this position.
Compensation is based on the insurance business you produce and the applicable SunSipper compensation structure, including opportunities for commissions and other compensation associated with your production and eligible business development.
Your specific compensation will depend on your licenses, products, carrier appointments, production, and applicable agreements.
Detailed compensation information will be provided during the interview and opportunity process.

We are looking for insurance professionals who are:
- Currently licensed and in good standing
- Experienced in insurance sales or client service
- Professional and trustworthy
- Comfortable working directly with clients
- Strong communicators
- Self-motivated and entrepreneurial
- Organized and detail-oriented
- Interested in building long-term client relationships
- Comfortable developing business within their community
- Committed to maintaining insurance licensing and regulatory requirements
- Interested in building a long-term insurance practice
Preferred Experience
Experience with any of the following is a plus:
- Life insurance
- Health insurance

- Homeowners insurance
- Auto insurance
- Commercial insurance
- Business insurance
- Independent insurance agency experience
- Insurance sales
- Account management
- Client retention
- Lead generation
- Referral-based business development

This May Be a Great Fit If...
You have ever thought:
"I want to build an insurance business instead of simply working for someone else's agency."
"I want to build a book of business that can grow over time."
"I want to become the insurance professional my community knows and trusts."
"I'd like access to a larger network instead of having to build everything completely on my own."
If that sounds like you, we would like to talk.
What Makes SunSipper Different?
Traditional insurance sales can be heavily focused on finding the next prospect.
SunSipper is building a model focused on long-term community relationships.
A homeowner may need homeowners insurance.
A new driver may need auto insurance.
A business owner may need commercial coverage.
A family may need life insurance.
An entrepreneur may need business protection.
As people's circumstances change, their insurance needs can change with them.
Your role is to become the professional they can return to as those needs evolve.
Work Alongside Other SunSipper Professionals

You will work alongside:
- Real estate professionals
- Tax and accounting professionals
- Financial advisors
- Property management professionals
- Contractors and tradespeople
- Local business owners
- Other community-based professionals
These relationships can create opportunities for collaboration and referrals while allowing each professional to remain focused on their own area of expertise.
Build an Insurance Business. Build Community Relationships.
Every policy you help a client put in place.
Every family you help protect.
Every homeowner you help insure.
Every business owner you help protect.
creates an opportunity to build a lasting professional relationship.
This isn't simply about selling insurance.
It's about becoming a trusted insurance resource in your community.
