Ask a coverage question Explore coverage options

Life insurance. Personal & business insurance. A conversation that starts with you.

Coverage

Coverage for more of what matters.

Start with what you need help protecting. I’ll review your situation and check which available insurance options may fit.

Life insurance

Term and permanent life insurance from many major insurers. Compare prices online and apply from home.

Auto insurance

Non-standard personal auto reviews through available Iowa markets. Driver history, vehicles and household use affect eligibility.

Homeowners & specialty homes

Explore homeowners and specialty property options. Older homes and replacement-cost eligibility require individual underwriting.

Landlord & rental properties

Coverage reviews for qualifying rental homes, vacant dwellings, renovations and other specialty property situations.

Personal umbrella

Additional personal liability options for eligible households, subject to underlying policy limits and insurer requirements.

Business liability & BOP

General liability, business owners policies and small-business packages, tailored to actual operations and property.

Workers’ compensation

Workers’ compensation options for eligible employers, based on payroll, employee duties and state requirements.

Professional liability & cyber

Errors and omissions, professional liability and cyber options for eligible professions and business activities.

Contractors & builders risk

Contractor liability, inland marine and builders-risk options for qualifying construction and renovation work.

Flood & specialty property

Private flood, excess flood, vacant-property and selected weather-related specialty protection options.

Renters & valuables

Renters coverage and separate jewelry or valuable-article options, where available.

Surety, events & specialty

Contract and commercial surety bonds, special events, pets, drones, nonprofits and other niche coverage, where available.

Specific products, eligibility, and coverage vary by insurer and individual circumstances. An inquiry does not guarantee that a quote or policy will be available.

Markets & options

More options than one insurer.

My current access includes a range of carrier, wholesale and specialty programs. The right place to start depends on your specific risk, not a logo on a page.

Life insurance

BackNine · Simplicity Group

Access to term and permanent life insurance from many major insurers, compared side by side. Final pricing depends on underwriting.

Important: These are selected markets, platforms and specialty programs recorded in my current market-access library, not a claim that every listed insurer is directly appointed or that every product can be quoted for every Iowa applicant. Availability, underwriting appetite, policy form, state authorization and access may vary. Some offerings are available only through First Connect or other intermediaries. No insurer endorses this website.

Ask about a coverage review

Life insurance online

Compare life insurance from home.

I can help with term and permanent life insurance across many major insurers. A term policy can be an affordable way to protect a mortgage, an income or a young family for a set number of years.

Use my online quoting tool to compare prices and apply, or contact me first if you would like help choosing a coverage amount.

Small-business insurance online

Explore business coverage on your schedule.

If you own a small business in Iowa, you can ask about general liability, a business owners policy, or professional liability. I can help you understand coverage needs and whether available markets fit your operations.

For eligible businesses, use my Coterie quoting option to explore coverage and, if approved, buy a policy directly through Coterie. You can also contact me first if you would like personal guidance.

About

Meet Joseph.

Joseph WarnkeJefferson, Iowa

I’m Joseph Warnke, an independent Iowa insurance agent based in Jefferson, licensed for property, casualty and life insurance.

My approach starts with understanding your situation, not pushing a particular policy. I want you to understand the options available to you, the important differences between them, and the questions worth asking before you decide.

Whether you’re protecting your family, reviewing personal coverage or insuring a business, the goal is the same: a clear, practical conversation about your needs.

How it works

A straightforward place to start.

  1. Tell me what you need.

    Share the type of insurance you’re considering and your renewal month, if you know it. General information is enough to start.

  2. Explore suitable options.

    I’ll check which markets may fit and explain what additional information is needed before requesting quotes.

  3. Make an informed decision.

    We’ll review available options and their tradeoffs. You decide whether to move forward, without pressure.
