Built by people who watched coverage fail at claim time and decided to fix it upstream. Founded by brothers Connor and Spencer Stephenson, we bring 16 combined years of claims adjusting and carrier operations experience directly to your kitchen table.
Connor started his career on the carrier and claims side, giving him a view most agents never get: what actually happens when a policy gets tested. He watched coverage gaps cost families real money at their worst moments.
He earned his degree from Washington State University and grew up in the Spokane Valley area. He built Stephenson Agency not to sell policies, but to build coverage that holds up.
His job is to find the gaps before the claim does. Connor believes that true insurance value is not found in the premium, but in the check written when life happens.
Spencer's background is in rate revision and claims: the technical side of how insurance actually works, not just how it sounds in a brochure.
He knows how carriers price risk, how claims get evaluated, and where standard policies leave clients exposed. When Spencer reviews a policy, he is not looking at coverage from a sales perspective.
He is looking at it the way a claims adjuster would. His expertise ensures that our agency operations are as efficient and accurate as the policies we write.
A client came in with a $500K home and no umbrella coverage. A single conversation about their actual liability exposure led to a $2M umbrella policy that most agents would not have raised.
THE DIFFERENCE
When Experience Changes the Outcome
The Unseen Liability Gap
A client came in with a $500K home and no umbrella coverage. A single conversation about their actual liability exposure led to a $2M umbrella policy that most agents would not have raised.
Catching Water Loss Exclusions
A water loss claim where coverage language in the original policy would have denied the claim. Connor caught the gap during the initial review and recommended a policy endorsement that made the difference.
Beating the Renewal Trigger
Standard agent software said the rate looked fine. Spencer's carrier background flagged a rate revision trigger that would have pushed the renewal up 40%. We restructured the policy before renewal hit.

I was contacted by Christian from Connor Stephenson Agency from an app I used. I expressed my concerns regarding an increase in my current insurance package and Christian listened and quoted me what my current coverage provided for a significant lower price.

Our Client
Even tho it took about 10 phone calls its been worth it. We feel well covered for our needs.Our agent Donatavious, listened to our concerns and explained to us the coverage that would protect us. In the end our premiums are affordable which was what we were trying to achieve.
Charlie Williamson
home and umbrella policies
Ashley worked tirelessly to organize a comprehensive but complex insurance package to address our needs, during which the end result is saving us several thousand dollars a year on our auto, home and umbrella policies. She took care of all the changeover logistics from our old carriers to the new.
Brian Skinner
home policies
In my 74 years I have owned several homes and insured them with several agencies but have never had such courteous, patient, professional service as with this agency. I very highly recommend them. They are looking out for you and will work to do you right.
Kate Vaughan
Life Insurance
Julio was super helpful and was able to help support us in savings that we had not accessed before. I am an educator and my son qualified for the good student discount. Super helpful savings for our family that just added a new car and new driver to the mix.
Patricia Sanders
homeowner’s insurance
I was experiencing a high hike in my homeowner’s insurance, and when speaking to Christian at farmers he set my mind free of worry. I highly recommend farmers due to the amazing experience from the rep.
Most agents learn insurance from the sales side. Connor and Spencer spent 16 combined years processing claims before opening Stephenson Agency. That means every policy they write is reviewed through the lens of what actually holds up at claim time, not just what looks good on a quote sheet. The difference shows up when you file: coverage gaps, sublimits, and exclusions that a sales-trained agent might miss are the first things a claims-trained agent catches.
At minimum, once a year at renewal. But any time you buy a home, add a vehicle, start a business, renovate, or experience a major life change, your coverage limits may need adjustment. Construction costs, vehicle values, and liability exposure all shift over time. A policy written three years ago may no longer match your actual situation. We include annual coverage reviews as part of every client relationship.
Yes. We review existing policies at no cost. If your current coverage is solid, we will tell you. If there are gaps, sublimits, or exclusions that could hurt you at claim time, we will walk you through what we found. No obligation to switch. The review itself has value whether you stay or move.
Yes. We write general liability, commercial property, business owners policies, workers compensation, and commercial auto for contractors, property managers, HOA boards, and small businesses across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. We take time to understand your business operations before recommending coverage. No generic packages.
Two things. First, Connor and Spencer both worked on the carrier and claims side before becoming agents. Most agents have never seen the inside of a claims department. Second, every policy we write goes through a claims-lens review. We look at your coverage the way an adjuster would, not the way a salesperson would. That combination is rare in this industry.
