Rock Solid Protection, Since 1920

Rodondi & Associates has served the insurance needs of California residents and business for 100 years. Our Business and Personal Insurance Programs offer you a wide range of protection options which are tailored to your needs. With offices in the North State and the Bay area, we are committed to Northern California.

Established in 1920 by Battista Rodondi, Sr., B.J. Rodondi Insurance served the businesses and residents of the then recently incorporated city of South San Francisco. Surviving the Depression and World War II, B.J. brought his son, Ed, into the business, after Ed’s military service. Ed took the reins of the Agency in 1956 and solidified its position as a fixture on the San Francisco Peninsula, under the masthead, Edward R. Rodondi Realty & Insurance Agency, Inc.

On December 1, 1988, the agency was purchased by Mark Griffith, who transformed the operation from a local agency, to a regional brokerage, setting it on a course for growth and expansion. At this point, the name was changed to Rodondi & Associates Insurance Brokerage.

Your financial success, has been forged by your reputation and hard work. Your future success, however, may rely upon the stability of your insurance carrier. You can count on that kind of stability from Rodondi & Associates and the insurance services that we offer. When you insure with us, you insure locally and insure with confidence. We are committed to the highest standards of service to our clients.

We take a hands-on and inclusive approach to serving our clients. We look at everything that comes in the door and we thoroughly assess clients' needs through one-on-one consultations and risk analyses. Once we understand clients' needs, we identify the right coverages and create the best possible solutions.

We ensure that our clients deal only with people who are in charge. Mark is very hands-on and makes sure that our clients feel at ease with their decision. We review policies we write before renewals, and constantly perform updates. This ensures that coverages are always current and that clients' rates are always competitive.
 
We take pride in being committed to the communities that we serve. Our staff members are also members of Business Network International (BNI) and one of our agents is the president of the board of directors for the Cottonwood Community Library.
