An Independent Agent Works for You — Not for a Carrier


Most people don't realize how much the type of agency they choose affects the coverage they get. A captive agent can only offer one company's products. At Excelso Insurance Agency, I'm not tied to any single carrier's quotas or targets. That means when you ask me for auto insurance, homeowners coverage, or a life policy, I go to the market and find the option that actually fits your situation — not the one I'm required to sell.

I'm Cristian Serna.


I've worked in insurance for more than 20 years, including time on the captive side with Nationwide, so I know both worlds. I started Excelso because I wanted to serve clients the way I'd want to be served: with straight answers, real options, and someone who picks up the phone.

Common Questions About Working with an Independent Insurance Agent

  • What does it mean that Excelso is an independent insurance agency?

    It means I'm not employed by or contracted exclusively with any single insurance company. I work with 15+ personal lines carriers and 8+ commercial lines carriers, so I can compare options across the market and recommend coverage based on what fits your situation — not what fits a sales quota.

  • Who is the best independent insurance agent in Duluth, GA?

    That depends on what you need, but clients choose Excelso for a few consistent reasons: 20+ years of experience, access to a wide range of carriers, bilingual service in English and Spanish, and direct access to the agency owner on every call. You can read what clients say on our reviews page.

  • Do you offer insurance in Spanish?

    Yes. Cristian is a native Spanish speaker originally from Colombia and has lived in the Atlanta metro for more than 25 years. Every conversation, quote, and policy explanation is available in Spanish — directly from the agent, not through a translator.
