In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, we welcome Sam Louwrens, a commercial insurance broker specializing in construction insurance. Sam shares his unconventional journey—from being homeschooled in Cody, Wyoming, to navigating university in record time, and eventually finding his way into the world of insurance.

Sam opens up about:

• His experience being homeschooled and how it prepared him for the real world
• How he fast-tracked his education, completing a finance degree in just 1.5 years
• His unexpected entry into the insurance industry through a mentor connection
• The reality of building a client base through cold calls, strategic consulting, and referrals
• Why Texas and California are prime markets for construction insurance
• The secrets to negotiating better insurance rates and why many businesses unknowingly overpay

If you're in construction or commercial real estate, Sam shares some must-know strategies for managing insurance costs and standing out to underwriters.
