From the Bonner County 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.”

Who This Is For
Coverage for river and timber country
Priest River living means acreage under trees, a wood stove doing real work all winter, and a river or lake within casting distance. Those are exactly the details a far-away carrier misses — and exactly what we ask about first.
Why Marks Agency
A real person on the line when it matters most
// 01
Rural property is our lane
Wood stoves, outbuildings, long driveways, and acreage under timber — we ask the right questions up front so the policy holds up when it matters.
// 02
Idaho-handled claims
Farm Bureau Insurance is Idaho-owned, with local in-house adjusters. A tree through the roof in January gets handled by people who know what January here means.
// 03
Same county, same roads
We are your Bonner County neighbors — about 25 minutes east on Highway 2 in Ponderay. Phone, email, or stop in on your next trip to town.
