DALLAS, TX and Boise, ID — July 1st, 2013 – Springtree Group (STG), a leader in providing the full spectrum of M&A and lending / financial services to Insurance Agents and Brokers today announced a formal strategic relationship with Pacific Crest Services (PCS). Pacific Crest is a leading Independent Insurance Alliance employing over 150 independent insurance agents with a heavy presence in the Western US.
As the US agent and broker marketplace begins the long pull out of a difficult economic period, insurance Agents and Brokers are finding they must become even more operationally and financially productive to grow and prosper in this new era. Pacific Crest has a track record of providing affiliated agents the best insurance markets, operational templates, sales tools and training that is available in today’s marketplace. Providing the additional STG services offerings, such as succession planning and lending services, to broaden the support of affiliated agents is a natural fit.
