A Family-Owned Insurance Agency That's Still Here When You Need Us
We've been helping families and homeowners across the Inland Empire and Orange County find the right coverage since 2003 — same office, same team, same phone number.

How Promax Started — and Why We're Still Independent
Father and son, Jeff and John Wallace founded Promax Insurance Agency in 2003 with a straightforward idea: an independent agency should work for the client, not the carrier. Twenty-plus years later, Jeff has retired from Promax but John continues to carry the torch. We're still family-owned, still based in Corona, and still shopping multiple carriers to find coverage that fits your situation rather than what's easiest to sell.
Being independent means we hold appointments with carriers like Mercury, Progressive, Safeco, and Liberty Mutual — so when your situation changes or a carrier stops writing your area, we have options. We're not locked into one company's product line. That flexibility matters in California right now more than it ever has.

What It Means to Be a Ramsey Trusted Pro
Promax Insurance Agency is a Ramsey Trusted Pro — a designation earned through the Dave Ramsey organization for independent agents who meet their standards for integrity, service quality, and client-first advice.
What that means in practice: if you've been referred to us through Ramsey Solutions or the Dave Ramsey ELP network, you're working with an agency that has been vetted against a specific set of criteria — not just someone who bought a listing. The referral relationship also means we're familiar with the financial philosophy many Ramsey clients bring to their coverage decisions: avoiding unnecessary debt, making intentional choices, and understanding what they're buying before they sign.
You don't need to be a Ramsey listener to work with us. But if you are, you'll recognize the approach.

Our Job Doesn't End When You Sign the Policy
A lot of agents are available when you're buying. We're available when you have a claim, a renewal question, a non-renewal notice from your carrier, or a situation that doesn't fit neatly into a standard application.
California's insurance market has become genuinely difficult — carriers are pulling back from wildfire-exposed areas, non-renewals are up, and the FAIR Plan is no longer a last resort for a small number of homeowners. We help clients navigate that. We explain what's happening, what your options are, and what the tradeoffs look like. That's not a sales pitch — it's what an independent agent is supposed to do.
If you're dealing with a non-renewal or trying to understand your FAIR Plan options, our California FAIR Plan guide covers the specifics.
