Shortly after leaving Fresno State University in 1958, Walt Reinhardt started his insurance career in the city that gave the university its name. Little did Walt know that years later the name Reinhardt and insurance would become inextricably linked in the minds of most California central valley business owners. Walt formally started the agency in 1965 with a key to an office and a couple of company contracts. Today the agency boasts over 20 employees, numerous licensed professionals, over $20 million in premium volume and preferred relationships with some of the nations finest insurance companies.
Since 1991, Reinhardt Insurance joined with seven other Central Valley agencies to form a marketing company called Sierra Gateway Insurance Services, Inc. The arrangement allows Reinhardt Insurance to maintain their independence while having the large combined volume of business and clout with carriers that the largest agencies do, all the while providing the customized service to customers typical of a small locally owned agency.
In Fresno and Californias great Central Valley the reputation of the Reinhardt Insurance Agency has become synonymous with integrity and insurance professionalism.
