Independent insurance agency · Yorba Linda, CA

One agency for every policy you own shopped across many carriers, not one.

Home, auto, business, life, health — one office that knows your whole file.

Michael Duvall Insurance Agency is an independent insurance agency in Yorba Linda, California. We quote home, auto, business, health, life, and annuities across many insurance companies instead of one, explain each option in plain English, and tell you what a policy does not cover before you buy.

You'll know what's excluded before you sign.

Why Michael Duvall Insurance Agency

Why people move their policies here.

What one agency for everything actually means.

  • Not tied to one insurance company

    An independent insurance agency is not tied to one insurance company. An independent insurance agent shops several companies on your behalf; a captive agent represents one. That is the whole difference and we do not decorate it.

  • The same two people know your whole file

    Home, auto, business — same office, same phone number, and someone who remembers your last call.

  • Choices, explained side by side

    We're an independent agency. We put several California-admitted carriers next to each other and show you the differences in writing.

  • Licensed in California

    Every quote comes from a licensed agent, and every policy is written with a carrier admitted in this state.

  • Local to Orange County

    We live with the same hillside canyons, older tracts, and HOA condos the underwriters ask about.

About Michael Duvall Insurance Agency

Meet the people behind your policy

Michael Duvall Insurance Agency is a two-producer office in Yorba Linda. Mike Duvall, CA Lic. 0606906, has been in insurance since 1981. Tony Mercado, CA Lic. 0H52518, handles business and contractor accounts.

Mike spent his career as a Farmers agent and is now independent. Michael Duvall Insurance Agency is not affiliated with Farmers.

You get a named licensed person, not a queue. Two producers, one office, both licensed in California.

We'd rather spend an extra half hour on the exclusions page than have you find out what the policy left out during a claim.

Questions

Insurance questions, answered plainly.

Clear answers about notices, exclusions, coverage choices, and working with an independent agency.

Is it better to have an independent insurance agent?+
It depends on what you want out of the relationship. An independent agent can look at more than one insurance company for you; a captive agent represents one. If you want your options compared in one conversation, an independent agent is built for that.
What is the difference between an independent agent and a captive agent?+
A captive agent represents one insurance company and can only offer that company's policies. An independent agent is appointed with several companies and shops them for you. Same license, different structure.
Do I pay an independent insurance agent?+
You do not pay us a separate fee. An agent is paid by the insurance company that ends up writing your policy. Going through an agent does not add a charge on top of your premium.
How do I choose an independent insurance agent?+
Ask how many companies they can actually look at, who you will be talking to when you call, whether they will read your current policy with you, and whether they are licensed in California. Ask for the license number.
How do I request a certificate of insurance?+
Call the office or send the form and tell us who the certificate is for and what wording their contract requires.
What areas do you serve?+
We are in Yorba Linda and we work across Orange County, including Placentia, Anaheim Hills, Brea and Fullerton. A California resident producer is licensed statewide, so a move within California does not mean starting over.
