Wallace Insurance Agency Joins VIAA

Valley Insurance Agency Alliance (VIAA), a cohesive family of nearly 100 independent insurance agencies in Missouri and Southern Illinois, recently added Wallace Insurance Agency to its alliance.

Wallace Insurance Agency specializes in auto, home, life, and farm insurance and is farm-certified. The company, which is owned by Jarrett Wallace, is located at 24 Elm St. in Gainesville, Mo. Wallace, who owns and operates his own farm, became interested in the industry because he understands the complexities farmers face and wanted to provide assistance.

“This alliance is perfect for my agency’s needs because it allows me to bring top-rated carriers to our local community,” said Wallace Insurance Agency owner Jarrett Wallace. “We can access multiple competitive companies with concierge claims service so my clients are in the best hands possible.”

Founded in 2006, VIAA is located at 7745 Carondelet Ave. in Clayton, Mo. The alliance generates more than $125 million in written premium and is the regional founding member in Missouri and Southern Illinois for the Strategic Insurance Agency Alliance (SIAA), a $5.7 billion national insurance coalition. SIAA, which is the nation’s largest partnership of independent insurance agencies, consists of the highest caliber of firms that share a leveraged strength with their carrier partners and industry resources.
