An independent insurance agent in Sarasota, Florida — here to do the shopping, cut the jargon, and stay in your corner long after the policy is signed.
I started out in a big captive agency, the kind where you can only sell one company's policies. I was good at it — but I kept running into the same wall: a loyal client's rate would jump, and the best I could do was shrug. The product was the product.
So fourteen years ago I went independent, and it changed everything. Now I represent more than twenty carriers, which means when I sit down with you, I'm not selling a brand — I'm finding the right fit and the right price out of the whole market. When your rate changes or your life does, I re-shop it for you instead of sending you off to start over somewhere else.
I built Delgado Insurance around a simple idea: you should have one person who actually knows you and your coverage — someone who picks up the phone, explains things in plain English, and shows up when a claim gets hard. That person is me.

The same three things, every client, every time.
I work for you, not a single insurance company. My job is to find the best fit out of the whole market — and to tell you the truth, even when it's "you're paying for coverage you don't need."
Deductibles, limits, riders, exclusions — I'll walk you through exactly what you're buying and why, until it actually makes sense. No fine-print surprises later.
Renewals, life changes, and especially claims — you call me, a real person who knows your file, not a different rep and a hold queue every time.
The details, for the people who like to know them.

I've lived in Sarasota for most of my life, and a lot of my clients are people I'd run into at the grocery store anyway — which is exactly how I like it. When you insure your neighbors, you do right by them.
Outside of work you'll usually find me on the water, at my kids' weekend games, or volunteering with a few local groups around the county. It's the community I'm helping people protect, so it matters to me that I'm part of it.
Tell me what you're covering and I'll shop the market for you — same-day reply, no obligation.
