Senior Personal Insurance Specialist

Lisa Newman - Inszone Insurance Senior Personal Insurance Specialist

Lisa Newman is a Senior Personal Insurance Specialist at Inszone Insurance Services, joining Inszone in July 2021 after the merger with Interstate Benefits & Casualty Insurance Services. Lisa began her career in 2006 when she was hired as the agency’s bookkeeper and in 2009, she became a licensed agent specializing in home and auto.

Lisa’s bookkeeping skills naturally transferred her into the policy service part of being an agent. Communication, listening, and attention to detail are her keys to success, and the experience she received has made all the difference to her as she continues to serve her customers as well as her community at large.

Lisa has been a resident of Nevada County since 1989 and has been involved in many community groups. Currently she is the co-founder of the Newman Memorial Foundation which was founded after the loss of her two sons, Ryan and Brett. The Newman Foundation provides scholarships to assist young adults in her community to defray the costs of their first year in college.

On her off time, she enjoys spending time with her grandson, Finn, being a homemaker, serving at her church, making Sunday dinner, crafting, and reading.

We have purchased Home Liability Insurance for a property in Grass Valley through Lisa. This property is difficult to insure because its in a rural, high fire danger area & has a mobile home. Lisa researched policies for us annually for several difficult years (major Fires in the area, Covid). We thank her very much for all her hard work!

With complete professionalism, Lisa helped me through the all-too-common homeowners insurance crisis after I had been non-renewed and my original agent was of no help at all. I was a brand new, unknown client calling in from 500 miles away and was treated like I was a customer for 20 years. It is hard to find anybody who cares anymore, but here is one!

After my homeowner’s policy was dropped by State Farm, I contacted Lisa Newman at Inszone in Grass Valley, who was recommended.

Lisa found reasonable and affordable alternatives within the flexibility of the Cal Fair plan. Her ability to explain these complexities allowed us to be comfortable with her proposed solutions. Lisa’s response to our questions and concerns were timely and clear.

Homeowner’s insurance is the burning issue in our community and I have recommended Lisa to my friends.

Lisa assisted me with an auto insurance quote. She also took time on the phone with me regarding some possible issues related to my current homeowner’s insurance. My current homeowner’s policy is through another provider and may not be renewed most likely moving me into the CA Fair Plan. We discussed the Fair Plan and Lisa was able to answer all my questions which was super helpful. If my current homeowner’s policy does not get renewed, I will be reaching out to Lisa for a Fair Plan policy. She was also very responsive to all of my emails. Thanks again Lisa!!

Due to some mixups with our insurance provider we found ourselves unexpectedly uncovered. I contacted Lisa immediately and in less than 24 hours she had provided us with an updated quote and I was able to pay the premium with her assistance assuring us of a new policy starting the very next day. A situation with the potential to be disastrous was averted with Lisa’s help, slipping our matter to the top of her priority list that day while still keeping appointments with her other clients that were already on her schedule.

I’d like to recognize Lisa Newman for her recent exceptional service.

I was reading my insurance policies and noticed some unusual wording dealing with exclusions, as Steve Keeney had changed our insurance policies from Kemper into Mercury. I reached out to Lisa for clarification and she promptly contacted the Mercury underwriters for for information. Although unusual, the reasoning kinda makes some sense. I truly appreciate her assistance, research and prompt replies. She deserves recognition..

She has gone above and beyond, even went out of her way to take the required photos of our home when we were out of town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lisa was so helpful in resolving an issue with a prior insurance co that we’d cancelled but hadn’t received a refund from. It took a almost a year to complete the research. But the refund came and she kept us up to date with progress until it finally resolved.

She also unraveled the mystery of why we had two identical PUP policies and which one was the right one to keep.

Lisa is The Best! I have been working with her for our homeowners insurance for over 5 yrs. now & she is always right on top of things & is amazing at communicating/follow up/resolving when necessary. When our policy was cancelled a few yrs back she found us another co. right away & the premium was even less than what we had been paying! Then a few months ago Lisa called me to let me know I may be getting another cancellation notice & after a few f/u calls during the week, she walked me through what to do so our policy would not be cancelled. I was SO appreciative for the heads up b/c I would’ve panicked if I received that notice in the mail, she saved me a lot of undue stress, Thank You Lisa! 🙂
