Carmen@pvins.com
Carmen Rodriguez, Agent/CSR
Carmen has been an agent with PVI since 2011. She earned her Personal and Casualty Insurance License in 2006, after only four months working in the industry! (Just a little hint about how Carmen achieves her goals.) Although Carmen has a good working knowledge of Commercial Insurance, she specializes in Personal Lines, which includes: Homeowners, Auto, Classic Auto, RV, Boat and Personal Umbrella. In other words, a little something for everyone!

When talking with Carmen, one of the first things you notice is her passion for relationships. In fact, her favorite part of her job is being able to create lasting relationships with her customers. She accomplishes this is by, first, always taking the time to truly listen to her customers, and then doing her best to fulfill their needs. In the process, she goes to great lengths to explain, in detail, insurance issues that initially can seem quite complex. In return, she has earned a high level of respect and trust from her PVI customers, and they are quick to praise her strong work ethic.

Maricruz has been a Customer Service Representative (CSR) for PVI since 2012. Prior to that, she graduated from Cal State San Marcos with a Bachelor's Degree in Literature and Writing Studies.

She has a way about her that just gets people excited. Since she typically is the first point of contact for our office, who better to greet our current and potential customers?
