Francisco started his career as a Financial Advisor with Farmers Insurance in 1984.
In 2004 he became a District Manager, supervising no less than thirty agents. During his 20 year career as an agent his achievements included the following; 7 Presidents’ Council Member, 6 Life Championships, 8 Championships, 17 Topper Clubs, 7 Million Dollar Round Table, 3 time National Life Agent of the Year, 9 Life Round Table, 10 Double All American, 10 Commercial Masters, 10 Life Masters, 10 Commercial Round Table, Blue Base, Blue Max and multiple District Leadership Awards.
Francisco’s area of specialization was Life Insurance and Financial Planning. During his five years as a District Manager, he increased Life production policies by 150% in a district which typically did not write Life Insurance. In addition to the life insurance policies, he also helped achieve improved results on auto, commercial and fire policies as well.
Francisco’s talents are extensive, as he has the power to motivate and encourage other agents with his extensive experience in insurance market. Knowing that he has been able to help thousands of customers with their financial planning has been a rewarded experience for him.
In 2009 Francisco felt the need to expand the product line and become an independent agent. He now represents multiple companies with a wide variety of insurance products to meet every client’s needs.
In early 2011 Linares Insurance teamed up with the Steele Insurance agency and joined forces for bigger production volume. As a result, the Linares Insurance Agency is one of the top producing agencies within the organization. His personal responsibility with the Steele Insurance Inc. organization is that of Regional Manager in charge of recruiting, training and developing agencies in Southern California.
In a 3 year span Linares Insurance has grown its agency force to over 150 agents statewide.
