Recommended Insurance Agents
Why Working with a Recommended Homeowners Insurance Agent Is a Smart Move
Choosing the right homeowners insurance agent is just as important as selecting the right lender or real estate agent. A recommended homeowners insurance agent brings experience, local market knowledge, and personalized service to ensure your home—and everything in it—is fully protected. Unlike online-only platforms that offer generic policies, trusted local agents take the time to understand your unique needs and recommend coverage options that truly fit your property, location, and lifestyle. From coverage for natural disasters to liability protection, a qualified agent ensures you’re not underinsured or overpaying for unnecessary extras.
When you're buying a home or refinancing, working with a reputable homeowners insurance agent can streamline the closing process and help avoid costly delays. Lenders often require proof of insurance before finalizing a loan, and having a responsive, well-reviewed agent on your side can help you meet deadlines with ease. Plus, many top agents can bundle policies—like auto and umbrella insurance—to save you money and simplify your coverage. For peace of mind and long-term protection, always ask your lender or real estate agent for a recommended insurance professional with a proven track record.
Ashleigh Mire | Selkirk Insurance Services
I am absolutely blessed to have the opportunity to raise my children and enjoy a career, in the community I feel so passionately about. It is hard to argue the beauty and charm that make Sandpoint, Idaho such a special place. For me however, it goes beyond the obvious, Sandpoint represents my family and the community that influenced who I am today. I was born and raised in Sandpoint and feel very fortunate to still call this beautiful place, home.
After graduating from Sandpoint High School, I began my pursuit of higher education at Boise State University. After completing my first two years at BSU, I decided to transfer closer to home and attend Eastern Washington University, where I graduated in June of 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. In January of 2012, I began my career as a Broker with the Selkirk Insurance Services and I have never looked back! This career, the people I work with have been an absolute blessing. Since then, time has absolutely flown by. I have two beautiful children (full of sugar and spice) Harper Joseph and Gracie Lee. They are what life is all about! When I am not at work or spending time with my family, you will most likely find me on the golf course or coaching a sports team.
Growing up in a small town, you learn very quickly about reputation and the value it holds. It is my hope to build genuine and lasting relationships with all my clients, and to ensure I am representing them in the best way possible. I am dedicated and work hard to provide them with exceptional service.
I look forward to working for you and your family for generations to come!

Ben Volk Insurance
When I started in insurance about a decade ago, I was drawn to the industry because of its tremendous opportunity to solve complicated problems.
Throughout my journey, I have helped thousands of families solve thousands of problems. My love for planning and strategizing led me to start a brokerage that does not work for “carriers” but for families.
Serving and helping my community in the Pacific Northwest is what I primarily spend my time doing. Oh... And hanging out with my amazing wife and my little angel.
