About the company

The Jernigan Agency arranges life and health insurance for individuals and families through independent sales representatives. It works as a brokerage, connecting clients with insurance products and helping them assess coverage rather than presenting itself as the company that underwrites the policies. Representatives meet clients remotely to review their needs and explain available options before an application moves through the insurer's approval process. The agency's work centers on personal protection, combining a sales relationship with assistance throughout the coverage application. Founded in 2014, The Jernigan Agency is headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina.

Simplify Jobs

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Training has a regular schedule: Jernigan lists weekly training calls among its sales-representative activities.
  • Unlicensed applicants receive guidance: Jernigan says it helps interested candidates through the licensing process.
  • Mentorship accompanies sales work: Jernigan's Fresno opening includes mentorship among the support provided.

What critics are saying

  • Income depends on sales performance: Jernigan's compensation page states that pay is entirely commission-based.
  • Remote work still includes travel: Jernigan expects occasional in-person conferences for its sales representatives.
  • One opening restricts eligibility: Jernigan's Fresno insurance-sales posting requires U.S. citizenship.

What makes The Jernigan Agency unique

  • A broader agency network sits behind the brand: Jernigan identifies Symmetry Financial Group on its About page.
  • Prospecting starts with existing interest: Jernigan advertises a lead-generation model without cold calling.
  • Additional savings services get promoted: the agency's resource hub links free MyQuility travel and prescription savings.
