The journey of KJ VanDerwerken from working as an insurance agent to now being a successful entrepreneur is very inspiring. His work so far has earned him several titles including two 30 Under 30 Business Awards and three Five Star Professional Awards.
Based in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, he had started off his career working as an insurance agent for the company Movement Insurance. In the past eight years that he has been serving the company, he has set some high benchmarks for his colleagues while leading the sales in the firm.
With his years of expertise, VanDerwerken has produced and is currently servicing over $3,200,000 book of personal lines business, which is a huge figure for an insurance agent. Over the years, he has served over 3,100 clients with around 3,700 policies. While he keeps breaking his own milestone records, $700,000 has been his all-time high in terms of a new personal line premium in a year.
The young man has also been passionate about real estate. He has always found the industry appealing when it comes to investment. That is the reason why he decided to start his own real estate holding company back in the year 2015, which has shown a steady growth. With a new property bought every year since then, VanDerwerken has managed to build assets worth $800,000 for his own firm.
Apart from the insurance company and the real estate business, he has started another venture this year called Locked Room Clt. The business, which is in a partnership with a friend, is an online vintage shop which brings historic sportswear and pop culture pieces, gathered from flea markets, warehouses and yard sales. The performance has been exceptionally well so far as they are expecting a revenue of $120,000 in their very first year.
With such impressive work in the insurance and real estate industry, VanDerwerken has been setting some major business goals for his peers.
