Hello, I'm Jay Scott. My team and I are here to protect and serve your family with respect, care, and understanding.

Born in South Africa and having lived in New Zealand for over a decade, my experiences with wildlife and the natural world gave me a deep connection to our planet and a broad perspective on protecting what matters. Though I stumbled into insurance, I quickly fell in love with its mission — protecting people from life's unexpected events and being there when they need it most. Now, as an agent, I'm privileged to lead a team that shares this purpose.

Connecting with customers personally is a cornerstone of our service. We approach every interaction with compassion, creating a positive atmosphere even while discussing serious matters. With over 30 years of combined experience, we communicate complex topics simply. Whether you're exploring homeowners' insurance, looking for the right auto policy, considering paycheck protection, or need tailored small business coverage — we explain every detail clearly and make sure you feel confident. No ambiguity, no confusion.

We want every customer to feel heard, valued, and supported — fostering genuine relationships based on care, not transactions.

Giving back is a privilege, not just a responsibility. We actively reinvest profits into climate action, recognizing our role as stewards of the resources entrusted to us:

  • Climate Resilience. We fund projects that strengthen communities where our customers live.

  • Climate Change Mitigation. We support verified carbon drawdown initiatives.

  • Climate-Focused Innovation. We support companies working on environmental tech.

Although we're rooted in Albany, California, we proudly serve customers across California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona — with assistance available in both English and Spanish. With deep knowledge, dedication, and a warm approach, my team and I are ready to help you navigate the insurance world and secure the right coverage for what matters most.

Let's get started.
