Insurance Should Start With You. Not an Insurance Company.

Every insurance company sees risk differently.


One may be a strong fit for your home but not your vehicles. Another may be more competitive for your business. Your needs can change over time, too.


That’s one reason Shamas Insurance is independent.


Instead of beginning with one company’s product lineup, we begin with a conversation:


  • What are you protecting?
  • What could create the biggest financial problem?
  • What coverage do you already have?
  • And where might there be gaps?

Then we help you evaluate the available options.

Personal Insurance for the Things You’ve Worked Hard to Build

Home Insurance


Your house may be one of your largest financial investments. We’ll help you evaluate coverage for your home, belongings, personal liability, and other important exposures.

Auto Insurance


From liability protection to coverage for damage to your own vehicle, we’ll help you understand what you’re buying—not simply the number at the bottom of a quote.

Life Insurance


Life insurance is ultimately about the people who would have to keep going without you. We help families evaluate protection based on their responsibilities, goals, and budget.

Disability Insurance


Your ability to earn an income may be one of your most valuable financial assets. Disability insurance can help protect a portion of that income after a qualifying illness or injury.

Business Insurance Built Around the Business You Actually Run

Your business may have property, employees, customers, vehicles, contracts and liabilities.


Those exposures don’t fit neatly into a generic online form.

Shamas Insurance helps New Mexico business owners evaluate coverage, including general liability, commercial property, commercial auto, workers’ compensation, and business owners' policies.


The conversation starts with what your business does and what could disrupt it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an independent insurance agency?

An independent insurance agency is not limited to offering insurance from only one carrier. That can give the agency more opportunities to evaluate available insurance companies, coverage options, and pricing based on a client’s needs.

Can Shamas Insurance review my existing coverage?

Yes. An insurance review can compare your existing limits, deductibles, and important coverage details before discussing whether another option makes sense.

Does Shamas Insurance only serve Albuquerque?

Shamas Insurance is based in Albuquerque and is launching with service throughout New Mexico where the agency and its insurance professionals are properly licensed.

Will switching insurance companies always save money?

No. Sometimes a different carrier may offer better value. Sometimes keeping the coverage you already have is the better decision. Our goal is to help you compare the overall picture instead of assuming that switching is always the answer.
