Dori Einhorn
Hello, I’m Dori Einhorn – a passionate insurance advocate, seasoned professional, and the heart behind Einhorn Insurance. My journey started in 2008 when I founded our agency with a vision – a vision born from an experience that shook me to my core.
My journey into the insurance industry was not a conventional one. Back in 2007, I was involved in a harrowing car accident. Despite owning two properties, I found myself with a severely insufficient insurance policy, a fact that came to light only after the accident. The sheer vulnerability I felt in that moment transformed me. I realized just how critical it is to have the right insurance coverage and how easily one can be misled without proper guidance.
Fueled by a newfound passion, I committed to empowering people to protect their hard-earned assets, ensuring they never find themselves as exposed as I was that day. This personal mission drives everything we do at Einhorn Insurance.
Before my insurance journey began, I spent six years as a full-time realtor, managing the sales and purchases of over 200 properties. This invaluable experience, along with my personal investments, has gifted our agency with an intimate understanding of the complex world of real estate transactions. We engage with lenders and escrow companies daily, acutely aware of the urgency and time sensitivity inherent in every deal.
Einhorn Insurance is a specialist in providing insurance for Californian property owners, particularly those living in high-risk wildfire and brush areas. But our expertise doesn’t stop there. We proudly offer a vast array of insurance services, including California fire and wildfire insurance, home insurance, auto insurance, dog liability insurance, Mexican auto insurance, umbrella insurance, life insurance, and business insurance.
Our dedication to our clients has helped us to safeguard over 3000 California residents, a fact that fills me with immense pride. Our work hasn’t gone unnoticed either; we’ve been recognized by prestigious outlets like Forbes, USA Today, Huffington Post, Nerd Wallet, and NPR. We’ve also collaborated with Animal Planet shows, helping homeowners with breeds often discriminated against by insurance policies, a cause close to my heart.
Beyond my professional life, I treasure moments with my husband and daughter, experimenting in the kitchen, staying active, exploring new places, and diving into engrossing audiobooks. I’m also nurturing a budding interest in pickleball!
It would be an honor to guide you through your insurance needs. Reach out to Einhorn Insurance today. Let’s ensure you have the coverage that truly protects you and the life you’ve built.
