    I am currently involved with Brooke and trying desperately to get out. They are scam artists and do it well. Once in, you will never break even nor make money. You will never understand their statements and trying to correct an error on you statement takes an act of GOD. Do not get involved.

    I would also recommend staying away from Allstate, they may be a step better than brook, but only a very small step.

    Brooke ruined my business world…I have a hatred that is very, very deep for these people and the many lives they have hurt so badly….They require mediation/arbitration so there is no formal record of the many people they have lied to and hurt so badly. Call me @530.888.7334

    I think you would need to be a sucker to fall for a Brooke franchise deal- there is no name recognition like many of the national direct writers and as a P&C license holder, Brooke mailed me for months trying to get me to agree to a franchise- junk mail of course. I work at an MGA and we work with Brooke agencies- the way they are structured makes doing biz with them difficult. At least with Farmers / Allstate / Statefarm, you are getting a recognized name and reputation- for better or for worse. Seems like a scam to consolidate independent agenices but it’s really to no ones advantage except Brooke’s bottomline. Insurance buyers aren’t getting anything better out of it.

    My experience was working on a deal to purchase one agency while owning three others. Upon arrival in Kansas City-Overland Park, the President at the time, Shawn Lowry, stated that I MUST agree to sell my other agencies to Brooke OR there was NO DEAL. He could have told me that via phone. It was never discussed, nor had he seen any financials or other pertinent info to make such an assumption. Uncle Bobby gave this punk the job and he was a schmuck. He recenlty WALKED OUT of Brooke himself. If I was in litigation, I would depose Shawn Lowry and see how disgruntled him and his Uncle are at this point. He could be a key witness against the company that adds “Buyer Assistance Plans” equal to 100% of the commissions for doing absolutely NOTHING. This scam is a house of cards with one entity representing revenues to another. If they were properly audited, not by American Stock Exchange, you would see there is actually very little revenues that they do not churn.

    Good luck and Depose Shawn Lowry!
