From the North Idaho families we already take care of
“The Marks Agency has been a great partner for our business. From our early days as a food truck to growing into our own restaurant in Sandpoint, they’ve helped us make sure we had the right insurance coverage in place. We really appreciate working with a local agency that understands small businesses and is easy to reach when we have questions or need help. Their team has been there for us with great service, support with claims, and guidance as our business has grown. It means a lot to work with people who are part of the same community we serve, and we’d gladly recommend The Marks Agency to other local business owners.”

“Great hometown service. I’ve been with the Marks Agency for over 10 years. They handle all my insurance needs. Home, auto, contractor, and life insurance.”

“If you value doing business with good, friendly, and honorable people, the Marks Agency is the place to take your insurance needs. In my experience, they look beyond the customer and treat you as a person. They respond promptly to my calls. It is so refreshing to have a person from my own community to discuss my insurance needs rather than some call center several states away. I highly recommend them.”

“Great team and accommodating to my crazy schedule. Josh and Caiya were very clear about the change over process. and the entire staff is warm and friendly.”

Who This Is For
Coverage for how Coeur d'Alene actually lives
Lake mornings, I-90 commutes, a new house going up on a street that did not exist five years ago — CdA moves fast. Your coverage should keep up: real replacement costs, liability limits that match the traffic, and a boat policy that matches the lake.
Why Marks Agency
A real person on the line when it matters most
// 01
A person, not a hold queue
Call and you talk to John, Josh, or Caiya. Quotes, changes, and questions get handled by the same few people every time — by phone, email, or in person.
// 02
Idaho-handled claims
Farm Bureau Insurance is Idaho-owned, with local in-house adjusters. When a hailstorm works over your roof or someone rear-ends you on I-90, the claim is decided in Idaho.
// 03
North Idaho roots since the 1950s
Our office is up US-95 in Ponderay, and our family has been in North Idaho for three generations. Same lake weather, same 95 traffic, same winters as you.
Coverage
What we cover for Coeur d'Alene families
Kootenai County has more traffic, more new construction, and more boats than anywhere else in North Idaho. Your policy should reflect all three.
Auto
The busiest roads in North Idaho deserve real liability limits. Collision, comprehensive, and uninsured-motorist protection for I-90, US-95, and everything between.
Home
New construction and established neighborhoods — dwelling limits checked against real CdA rebuild costs, not a builder-grade estimate from three years ago.
Boat & Watercraft
Lake Coeur d'Alene life — boats, pontoons, and personal watercraft, plus the dock and lift exposures that come with waterfront.
Condo & Townhome
Walls-in coverage that lines up with what your HOA master policy actually covers, so you are not paying for gaps or overlaps.
Life
Term and permanent life coverage to protect your family's income, mortgage, and plans.
Landlord & Rental
Own a rental in Kootenai County? Dwelling-fire coverage, liability, and loss of rents for single properties or a handful of doors.
