Job Description

Insurance Agent – Personal & Commercial Lines

Evanston/Chicago Area | Established Agency

The Opportunity

A well-established insurance agency serving the Evanston/Chicago market is hiring a Personal and Commercial Lines Insurance Agent. This is a producer role built for someone who wants uncapped earning potential and a real path to ownership, not just a paycheck.

The agency has the book, the reputation, and the infrastructure. What it needs is someone hungry enough to build on it.

Compensation & Benefits

• $50,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission — no ceiling on what you can earn
• PTO
• Dental insurance
• 401(k)
• Fast track to agency ownership, satellite agent status, or a second office for producers who prove they can build and sustain a book

What You'll Do

• Sell and cross-sell Personal Lines (auto, home, umbrella) and Commercial Lines (BOP, general liability, workers' comp, commercial auto) to new and existing clients
• Build your own pipeline through networking, referrals, and community presence in the Evanston/Chicago area
• Consult with clients to identify coverage gaps and recommend the right policies for their risk profile
• Maintain and grow renewal business through strong client relationships
• Partner with carrier underwriters to quote, bind, and service policies efficiently
• Track activity and pipeline in the agency management system

What You Need

• Active Property & Casualty insurance license in Illinois (or ability to obtain quickly)
• Insurance sales experience preferred — Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, or both
• A track record of hitting or exceeding production goals, or a demonstrated ability to build relationships and close business
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to have real conversations about risk and coverage
• Self-starter mentality — this role rewards people who create their own momentum
• Familiarity with the Chicago/Evanston market is a plus but not required

Why This Role Is Different

Most agent roles cap you at a commission split with no real upside beyond the number on your paycheck. This one is structured for producers who want equity in their future. If you build a book that proves you can run it, the agency will back you into ownership, a satellite office, or a second location under the same brand.

This is a seat for someone who wants to build something, not just fill a quota.

Compensation:
$50,000 per year
