Inszone Insurance Services, a rapidly growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance solutions, is excited to announce its acquisition of High Desert Insurance and Group, LLC., a well-established independent insurance agency based in Bend, Oregon.

With comprehensive coverage options including auto, home, health, life, and business insurance, the firm is recognized for its community involvement and commitment to exceptional service.
The decision to join Inszone Insurance Services was driven by a desire to grow and gain access to more carriers. “As a small business looking to expand, we knew we needed to be part of a larger organization,” said Jeff Melville. “We talked to quite a few companies, and Inszone felt like the best fit. From my first conversations with the team, it was clear this partnership would work well.”
Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services, shared his excitement about the acquisition, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome High Desert Insurance to Inszone.
