We're an independent insurance agency — with a carrier network, a team, and a client list that stretch well past state lines. We put in the hours. We show up online, in person, and everywhere in between. We don't ghost. We don't park you on hold. And we definitely don't punt you off to a call center in another time zone.
We are independent. That means we work for you — always.
Being independent means we're not locked into one company's products or one carrier's agenda. We have access to a large network of carriers and we use all of it — shopping, comparing, negotiating — to find coverage that actually fits you. Not the other way around.
We're tech-forward AND in-person. We use AI tools to research faster and dig deeper, but we're also the people who answer when you call, know your name when you walk in, and will absolutely text you back. We believe you should understand what you're buying — and we won't stop explaining until you do.
Don't see your state listed? Reach out anyway. Our network is wide. If we can help you, we will. If we can't, we'll tell you who can.
Yes that’s our actual front door. Bring snacks. 🚪
Planted in Iowa — Midwest grit, zero pretense, all heart. Come see us in person if you're local. We'd actually love that.
Iowa · Nebraska · Kansas · Montana · Minnesota · North Carolina · Florida — and growing. Not your state? Talk to us. We have a large network and we know how to use it.
Online, in office, by phone, by text, by email, on socials. Whatever works for you works for us.
No carrier pigeons. Yet. (Unless you want to talk to Sarah's husband LeRoy at Wolf Creek Lofts — he actually does. Seriously.) 🕊️Spoiler: right now, that’s me. I built BIS the way I’d want an agency to feel — independent, curious, and unafraid of the weird stuff. The research, the relationships, the problem-solving — that’s my whole thing. The vibe stays.

I didn't just wander into insurance — I grew into it. I started right here in Traer, a couple doors down from my current office, learning the industry from a couple of great mentors who are still at it today. From there I went on to earn back-to-back Million Dollar Round Table awards. My career path eventually took me into nonprofit leadership — which was incredible. I loved digging into the human story, the mission, the people behind it. At the same time I started a marketing company, because apparently I don't do slow.
I currently run two businesses — Bradley Insurance Solutions and Bradley Solutions, both under the Think Bradley umbrella. I've built them on the same belief: every person is unique, every business has a story, and the way the world reacts to you starts with how you tell it. In branding, I help people find their heartbeat and showcase it. In insurance, I help them protect it. Same mission, two very different toolboxes.
I built BIS because I wanted a space where clients actually understand what they're buying and producers actually enjoy showing up. No corporate scripts. No one-size-fits-all. Just people doing good work for people they care about. I'm wired to keep building — and I'm not stopping anytime soon.
Des Moines raised. World-traveled. Chose Traer — and never looked back. 🤝
Insurance feels like an expense until the day it isn't. The right coverage doesn't just protect you — it actually makes financial sense. Here's the math that most people don't think about until it's too late.
The bottom line: being underinsured, over-paying, or uninsured entirely all carry real financial risk. We exist to make sure none of those are your story.
Most people think quoting insurance is fast. Pull a number, pick the cheapest, done. We don't work like that — because cheap isn't the same as right, and fast isn't the same as good. We dig through hundreds of options across our carrier network before we bring you a recommendation.
We are the fine dining experience of insurance. Yes, we move with purpose. Yes, we use tech to speed up the research. But we take our time because we're running hundreds of quotes, cross-referencing coverage, and making sure what we bring back actually makes sense for YOU. We are not handing you a bag through a window and wishing you luck.
If you're looking for takeout, we're probably not your place. But if you want someone who actually thought it through? Pull up a chair.
The right coverage is worth the extra five minutes. Promise.Whether you're licensed and looking for a better home, or you're just curious about what a career in insurance even looks like — we're always open to the conversation. We're not your grandfather's insurance office, and we're not looking for typical people.
We add people to this team when we find the right fit — not just when we need a body. If you love insurance (or think you could), love people, and want to work somewhere that actually does things differently — we want to hear from you. No need to have it all figured out. Curious, driven, and actually like people? That's enough to start. Just reach out.
