Inszone Insurance Services has expanded its operations in Arizona through the acquisition of Phoenix-based Coriano Insurance Agency, strengthening the brokerage’s growing presence across the Southwest. The transaction adds a rapidly growing independent agency known for its customer-focused approach and strong local reputation to Inszone’s expanding national platform.
Founded in 2017 by Chris and Emily Coriano, Coriano Insurance Agency achieved significant organic growth in a short period, generating more than $9 million in premiums within just a few years. Rather than relying heavily on advertising, the agency built its business through referrals, high customer satisfaction, and strong online reviews, creating a loyal client base throughout the Phoenix market.
Company leaders said employee support and workplace culture were key considerations in selecting a long-term partner. Chris Coriano noted that the founders wanted to ensure their team would continue receiving operational support and growth opportunities as they transitioned into the next phase of the business. After evaluating multiple brokerage partners, the agency chose Inszone based on its reputation for integrating acquisitions while maintaining strong support for local employees and clients.
Inszone CEO Chris Walters said Coriano Insurance Agency’s rapid growth, customer-service-driven model, and employee-first culture aligned closely with Inszone’s values and long-term expansion strategy. He added that the acquisition further strengthens the company’s ability to serve clients throughout the Phoenix area and the broader Southwest region.
The acquisition reflects continuing consolidation within the insurance brokerage industry, where national and regional firms are increasingly acquiring high-performing independent agencies to expand geographic reach, strengthen specialty capabilities, and improve operational scale. Phoenix has remained an attractive market for insurance growth due to continued business development, population increases, and rising demand for commercial and personal insurance services.
