Jonathan Pinto, Brightway Insurance Agency Owner

Jonathan Pinto is a second generation insurance agent. His father, Peter Pinto, is one of the largest State Farm agents in the country and Jonathan grew up in the business. Decades ago, Peter Pinto turned to the leading insurance retailer of the time, State Farm, and quickly rose to the top. When it came time for Jonathan to decide where he wanted to grow his family's next great agency there was no clearer choice than Brightway.

According to Jonathan Pinto, "Brightway was the ONLY agency ownership option that really addressed the cost drivers of owning an insurance agency, taking away the headaches and unlocking more profit opportunity for me." To take advantage of Brightway's unique centralized service model, he hired six producing agents from day one. There was no need to hire additional personnel to do clerical, accounting, or even customer service. All of Pinto's staff focus exclusively on sales and the results speak for themselves. In two short years, Pinto's agency is larger than most traditional agencies that have been opened for over a decade.

Today, Pinto is already planning his second Brightway office which he will open with 10 producing agents from day one. "The model is just so scalable. I finally feel empowered to build the kind of business that really helps my customers and provides the financial security my family deserves. Deciding to link my future with the clear leader was the best decision I ever made." Jonathan Pinto.
