What we cover

Coverage for every part of your life in WA and FL

From your first car to your growing business, we place the right protection with the right carrier — and re-shop it as your life changes.

Why independent matters

Captive agents sell one brand. We shop the whole shelf.

A captive agent — the kind who only sells one company's policies — can only offer you that company's price. When your rate jumps at renewal, they can't do much about it. As an independent agency, Maru represents many carriers. When one raises rates, we re-shop and move you to a better fit. That's the difference between a policy that's sold to you and coverage that's built around you.

  •  We compare multiple A-rated carriers in one conversation
  •  I don’t disappear after the sale — I review your coverage at renewal
  •  A local, licensed agent who knows WA and FL rules — not a call center
  •  Bundling discounts across home, auto, and umbrella

Deep local knowledge in two very different states

Insurance is regulated state by state. What protects a home in Blaine is not what protects a home in Miami. We know both.

Washington

From Puget Sound windstorms to wildfire smoke in the Cascades and earthquake risk along the I-5 corridor, Washington homeowners face perils that standard policies handle unevenly. We help you close the gaps — including earthquake and flood endorsements most carriers leave off by default.

Washington coverage guide

Florida

Hurricane wind, flood, and one of the most challenging homeowners markets in the country make Florida a state where an independent agent earns their keep. We navigate Citizens, private carriers, separate wind and flood policies, and the mitigation credits that lower your premium.

Meet your advisor

A real person on your side — not a call center

Hi, I’m Vadim, founder of Maru Insurance. I started this agency because I was tired of watching families and small-business owners get sold a single company’s policy and left to fend for themselves at renewal. When you work with Maru, you work with me directly — I shop your coverage, explain your options in plain English, and pick up the phone when you have a claim.

I hold active resident licenses in both Washington (WAOIC #1365574) and Florida (License #G363233) and I’ve built deep expertise in the very different risks each state faces — windstorm, wildfire, and earthquake in the Pacific Northwest; hurricane, flood, and a brutal homeowners market in Florida. Whatever you’re protecting, you’ll always get honest guidance and a genuine advocate.

Licensed & independent

An agency you can verify

Maru Insurance is an independent agency licensed in Washington (WAOIC #1365574) and Florida (License #G363233), National Producer Number 22261820. You can confirm any license directly with the Washington OIC and the Florida DFS. No inflated claims, no fake reviews — just credentials you can check.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to get quotes from Maru?
No. Comparing quotes through Maru is completely free and there is no obligation to buy. As an independent agency we're paid by the carrier you choose, not by you, and that commission is already built into standard rates whether you use an agent or not.
What's the difference between an independent agency and a captive agent?
A captive agent works for a single insurance company and can only sell that company's policies. An independent agency like Maru represents many carriers, so we can compare prices and coverage across the whole market and move you if a better option appears at renewal.
Which insurance companies does Maru work with?
We partner with multiple A-rated national and regional carriers across personal, commercial, and life insurance. The specific carriers we recommend depend on your state, your risk profile, and what you're insuring. We'll always explain why we're recommending a particular company.
Do you serve my city in Washington or Florida?
We serve every city and county in both Washington and Florida, statewide by phone, email, and video. See our locations hub for city and county guides.
Can you bundle my home and auto?
Yes, and it's one of the easiest ways to save. Most carriers offer a multi-policy discount of 10–25% when you insure your home and vehicles together. We'll quote bundles automatically and show you the combined savings.
