Today we’d like to introduce you to Ana Teran.
Hi Ana, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Our agency’s story began in 2010 in the Doral area, but its roots go back even further. My mother, Rosa Alamino, started her insurance career in 2000, working for an independent agency and learning firsthand what it meant to truly advocate for clients. After nearly a decade of experience, she reached a moment where she felt ready to build something of her own, something family run, community focused, and rooted in the values she believed in.
With the support of my father, we opened our doors as a small family business in 2010. From there, it has been a journey of perseverance, long hours, and a lot of determination. Over time, the agency has grown into a fully independent, multi carrier operation that serves clients across Florida.
In 2023, after spending the first decade of my career between Milan and New York working in marketing and advertising for global brands, I felt called to bring everything I had learned back home. My professional journey took me from luxury fashion houses like Prada and Moncler and editorial work with Marie Claire Italia, to leading campaigns for Procter & Gamble at VaynerMedia in New York. I also spent several years contributing to other family ventures in the hospitality industry, where I focused on interior design, branding, and crafting elevated customer experiences.
All of those experiences shaped the way I see business, storytelling, and client relationships. They also gave me a unique lens on how a company can stand out through clarity, creativity, and service.
With that foundation, I decided to join forces with my mother and take our agency into its next chapter. Today, I focus on business development, brand strategy, and client relationships, merging everything I have learned abroad with the deep community roots my mother built over the last 15 years.
My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to the agency while honoring the legacy and personal touch that have always defined our work.
Today, we specialize in commercial insurance, personal property, and auto, but we have also expanded into niche areas that reflect Miami’s unique lifestyle, including luxury collectibles, marine coverage, gyms, wellness studios, tech startups, and short term rental properties. Our clients range from homeowners and entrepreneurs to creatives and developers building the next wave of Miami.
What has kept us going all these years is simple: we care deeply about protecting the people who live, work, and build in this city.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road, especially operating in the Florida insurance market. As an independent agency, we’ve navigated carrier changes, rising premiums, stricter underwriting guidelines, and moments when entire lines of business disappeared overnight. Every shift required us to adapt quickly, educate our clients, and sometimes rebuild processes from scratch.
We’ve faced hurricanes, industry volatility, and the challenge of staying fully transparent in a market that can feel overwhelming for consumers. But those obstacles pushed us to become more resilient, more informed, and more determined to advocate for our clients. The struggle has ultimately shaped our strength as an agency.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
independent insurance agency serving Florida since 2010. We help individuals, families, and businesses protect what matters most by offering access to multiple carriers and personalized guidance in a market that can often feel overwhelming. We specialize in commercial insurance, personal property, auto, and additional niche coverage that reflects Florida’s diverse lifestyle, ranging from luxury collectibles and marine insurance to short term rentals, wellness studios, tech startups, and small to mid size businesses.
What truly sets us apart is our approach. We are known for being educators first, agents second. Florida’s insurance landscape is complicated, and our goal is to make clarity a luxury everyone can access. We take time to explain policies, walk clients through their options, and give them the confidence to make informed decisions. Because we are independent, we work for our clients, not for a single carrier, and that allows us to advocate, compare, and find solutions that truly fit their needs.
Brand wise, we are most proud of being a modern, forward thinking agency while still grounded in our family values. Our brand reflects Miami: bold, warm, multicultural, and resilient. We bring creativity and strategy to a field that is not traditionally branded with personality. From our educational content to our client experience, we want people to feel that insurance can actually be accessible, human, and transparent.
Our services go beyond policies. We build long term relationships, support entrepreneurs, and help protect the foundations people work so hard to build. We also genuinely value this city and this state as a whole. Because we serve clients across all of Florida, we see firsthand the resilience, ambition, and diversity that define our communities. Our goal is to help residents not only feel protected, but to truly thrive in the place they call home.
What’s next?
Looking ahead, we plan to continue expanding our partnerships with realtors, growing our team, and broadening our agency offerings. We want the experience of getting insured in Florida to feel accessible, transparent, and easy to navigate, no matter how complex the market becomes.
More than anything, our focus is on strengthening trust. In insurance, trust is everything. Clients come to us during some of their most important life moments, buying a home, starting a business, investing in their future, and they need to feel confident that they are in good hands. For us, trust is built through clarity, honest communication, consistency, and always putting the client’s best interest first.
As we grow, our intention is to stay grounded in these values. We want to continue showing up for our community, supporting Florida residents statewide, and building a brand that people can rely on not just once, but for years to come.
