“SageSure is unlike any other company in the insurance industry,” said VanderMarck. “With a multi-carrier portfolio of market-leading insurance products, a commitment to the critical role that agents play in helping homeowners purchase insurance, and an innovative technology platform that was one of the first to enable agents to digitally quote and bind insurance, the company has made a real impact on the availability of quality coverage in coastal and other catastrophe-exposed markets.
