Company Facts
Teri Barnes, CIC - President, CEO

Barnes was a top agent performer with one of the largest insurance agencies in the world. She founded Marrs Barnes & Maddocks as well as the innovative internet agency, NetChoice, a predecessor to E-surance. As business changes, Barnes delivers, developing unique products to meet the changing needs of her business owners. In 2002, one of her largest clients was not able to purchase apartments to convert to Condominium units. Barnes resolved this with a Construction Wrap-Up product to meet the needs of both the buyer and seller of the apartments. Upon close of escrow of the completed and sold units, another problem presented itself - Escrow and title companies needing a certificates of insurance to close escrow...immediately! Barnes developed a proprietary service called "Super Certs" to allow the lenders to pull certificates instantly online - thereby shortening the escrow process substantially and saving her clients time and money.
