MLIA is an independent agency serving the greater Santa Barbara area. We work for you, not an insurance company. We will ensure that you have the right coverage, and if you suffer a loss we promise you will receive the fair, timely payment you deserve. Mark Lynch, founder of MLIA, has been in the financial industry for almost a decade. After working for big banks and insurance companies, he realized that the customer was getting shortchanged and falling victim to corporate greed. Rather than work as a captive agent, Mark struck out on his own to embrace a business model focused on the customer. MLIA represents a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable insurance companies. We will place your policy with the company offering the best coverage at the most competitive price
