REDDING: Inszone Insurance Services, a fast-growing national provider of commercial, personal, and benefits insurance, has acquired McFarland Commercial Insurance Services Inc., a Redding-based agency known for its specialized focus on contractor and property referral coverage.
Founded in 2002 and owned since 2006 by Dave McFarland, the agency built a strong reputation across California for its personalized approach and deep expertise in the commercial insurance space. McFarland, who had been weighing retirement since October, said the transition to Inszone was driven by a desire to protect his team’s future.
“Having previously spoken with Jennifer Sevilla years ago, I revisited those talks with Inszone,” McFarland said. “They quickly distinguished themselves by prioritizing stability and opportunities for my staff. Their values aligned perfectly with mine.”
Chris Walters, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services, welcomed the acquisition, citing McFarland’s trusted relationships and contractor-focused expertise. “Dave and his team exemplify service excellence and niche strength. Their addition enhances our commercial offerings and supports continued growth across Northern California.”
McFarland clients will retain their personalized service while gaining access to Inszone’s broader resources, expanded carrier network, and upgraded operational capabilities.
