About QIM Insurance
Quality. Integrity. Mastery.
From a Top 10 Nationwide exclusive agency to a premier independent brokerage — our evolution ensures you always have access to the best carriers and most competitive rates in Southern California.
Our Story
QIM Insurance was built on a foundation of excellence. Founders Judith and Joaquin Aduna earned recognition as a Top 10 Nationwide exclusive agency, serving thousands of clients with dedication and expertise that set them apart from the competition.
But as the California insurance crisis intensified — with major carriers raising rates, restricting coverage, and even leaving the state entirely — Judith and Joaquin recognized that being tied to a single carrier was no longer in their clients' best interest. The decision was clear: go independent.
By transitioning to a premier independent brokerage, QIM Insurance gained access to over 20 top-rated carriers. This means when one company raises rates or restricts coverage, we can move you to a better option. When wildfires or other California-specific risks cause carriers to pull back, we have the market relationships to keep you covered.
Today, QIM Insurance operates from our headquarters at 8111 State St, South Gate, CA 90280, serving homeowners, landlords, drivers, and businesses across Los Angeles County and Orange County. Our 5-star reputation across Google, Apple Maps, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity reflects our unwavering commitment to every client.

The California Insurance Crisis
Understanding why QIM Insurance's independent model matters more than ever.
California is facing an unprecedented insurance crisis. Major carriers like State Farm, Allstate, and others have restricted new homeowners policies, raised premiums dramatically, or stopped writing coverage altogether in certain areas. Wildfires, rising construction costs, and regulatory challenges have created a market where millions of Californians struggle to find affordable coverage.
This is exactly why QIM Insurance went independent. When you are locked into a single carrier and that carrier raises rates or leaves, you have no options. As an independent agency with access to 20+ carriers — including surplus lines and specialty markets — we can always find a solution.
Our clients never face the nightmare of being told "we can no longer insure your home" without alternatives. We proactively monitor the market, anticipate carrier changes, and move clients to better options before problems arise. That is the QIM Insurance difference.
