Yasmin Insurance Agency

What Yasmin Insurance Agency does

Yasmin Insurance Agency is a privately held, family-owned independent insurance agency headquartered at 1331 Holton Ln, Takoma Park, Maryland. Founded approximately in 2009 and operating for over 15 years, the firm is led by owner Yasmin Portillo alongside a team of approximately six professionals covering personal lines, commercial lines, and Maryland MVA/Tag & Title transactions. The agency positions itself as a one-stop shop for Maryland consumers and small businesses seeking insurance and certain vehicle-related administrative services.

The agency's core offering is multi-line insurance brokerage across personal and commercial lines — auto, home (including homeowners, renters, construction, vacant home, condo, and landlord), business (workers' compensation and general liability), life/retirement/investment, and health (medical, dental, vision). It supplements this with MVA Express Tag & Title services (temporary tags, title transfers, duplicate titles, vehicle registrations, tag returns, renewals), Ticket Payment services, and Company Registration services. The technology stack is entirely third-party: there is no proprietary platform, mobile app, or API; the agency relies on carrier-provided quoting and policy management tools, and customer interaction is conducted via phone, in-person office consultations, and an online contact form.

The business model is commission-based: the agency earns carrier commissions on policies placed across 19+ partner insurers, including Geiko, Maryland Insurance, AIC, Gainsco, CHESA, Root Insurance, Frederick, NCCI, Risk, National General, TAPCO, Commonwealth, Farmers, Frank, Next Insurance, Pie Insurance, USLI, Kaiser Permanente, and Rocklake. No pricing is publicly disclosed; premiums are individually underwritten and billed monthly. GTM is consultative and sales-led, with marketing through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, an email newsletter, blog content, and word-of-mouth referrals, serving exclusively the Maryland market.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Goosehead Insurance: Publicly traded independent insurance agency that places personal and commercial lines through a broad network of carrier partners. Closest direct comparable to Yasmin's multi-carrier brokerage model, scaled across many U.S. markets.
• Brightway Insurance: Franchise-based independent insurance agency network offering auto, home, life, and business coverage via multiple carrier appointments. Direct comparable in operating model (independent, multi-carrier, consultative) though larger and franchise-driven.
• Leavitt Group: National network of independent insurance agencies providing personal, commercial, and benefits lines via multi-carrier relationships. Comparable on independent agency economics and cross-line product breadth.

Broad incumbents

• Erie Insurance: Regional property and casualty insurer that distributes heavily through captive and independent agents in the Mid-Atlantic, including Maryland. Comparable on personal and commercial lines distribution and the Maryland market, though works with a captive-style model rather than purely independent.
• Farmers Insurance: National P&C insurer distributing primarily through captive agents across auto, home, life, and small commercial lines. Yasmin is already a Farmers partner, and Farmers captures adjacent share of the same Maryland customer segments via its own agent force.
• Arthur J. Gallagher: Global insurance brokerage and consulting firm operating across personal, commercial, and benefits lines. Compares to Yasmin on the agency-broker placement model but at significantly larger scale, with corporate resources and technology investments.
• HUB International: Large North American insurance brokerage operating across commercial, personal, and benefits lines. Overlaps with Yasmin on independent agency placement and multi-carrier access but operates nationally with significantly greater scale and resources.
• Brown & Brown: Diversified insurance brokerage and risk management firm placing commercial and personal lines through carrier partners. Compares on the brokerage/agency economics and multi-carrier model, though at much greater scale and complexity.

Emerging players

• Next Insurance: Digital-first small commercial insurance carrier serving SMBs with streamlined online purchasing. Yasmin is an appointed Next partner; Next represents both a placement channel and a DTC competitive threat in commercial lines.
• Root Insurance: Insurtech auto carrier using usage-based underwriting and digital distribution. Yasmin is an appointed Root partner, making Root both a partner and a competitive threat as Root pushes direct-to-consumer.
