Nick A. Verreos started as a new independent insurance agent with a store front office in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District in 1956. He started from zero worked tirelessly, and built a reputation of integrity that attracted a wide variety of clients from all neighborhoods. The business grew, moved to 16th & Mission, then to 870 Market in the Flood Building, and finally in 1980 moved to our current location in the City of Stars - Brisbane where costs were stabilized, and we are able to provide free parking for our clients, and staff.
Now in our 60th year, and our 36th year in Brisbane, VIA has
achieved something many others have not - survival. Constant adaptation to meet the changing needs of our clients has been managed without sacrificing our core values which are key to our
success. We now serve clients ranging from Shasta, to Tahoe, and San Diego. We don't take our client's for granted. Thanks!
Our mission statement:
Be the company people are proud and happy to work for. Be the company our supplier/insurers respect, trust and value. Be the company our clients honor with their loyalty, and are confident about referring their family and friends to.
Our Slogan: WORKING FOR YOU comes from the original idea of Nick Verreos' in the 1970's: "We Don't Work for an Insurance Company We Work for You!
So many companies have copied our slogan it's common now, but we were first when it was new. Working For You is in our logo to remind us never to forget who we depend on, and who's needs must come first.
We're environmentally conscious, and socially committed to working within our community where our efforts have the most impact. And we also support a variety of charities, national organizations related to Veteran's services, medical research, Native American children's shelter and education, LIONS Club International, The Blind Vietnamese Children Foundation, and others.
