GreatFlorida Insurance is proud to announce the opening of its newest franchise location in Davenport, Florida, led by the dynamic sister duo Maria Munoz and Roxana Mendoza. With a combined 30+ years of experience in both the agency and carrier sides of the insurance industry, Maria and Roxana bring a wealth of knowledge, heart, and dedication to their new venture.
Maria Munoz began her insurance career in 2001 as a secretary at an Allstate office. Her drive and natural connection with clients quickly propelled her into a licensed agent role, and for 16 years she thrived within independent agencies. Maria later transitioned to the carrier side, first as a claims adjuster and eventually as a marketing representative for Kemper Auto, where she served for five years. Her diverse background offers a full-spectrum perspective that now fuels her leadership as a GreatFlorida Franchise Owner.
Roxana Mendoza brings 12 years of industry expertise, starting as a customer service representative and swiftly becoming a licensed agent. After nearly a decade on the agency side, she expanded her skill set as a commercial auto underwriter. Her passion for helping and educating clients was the driving force behind co-founding the agency with her sister Maria, uniting their talents to deliver outstanding service to their community.
“We chose to begin our journey with GreatFlorida Insurance because of their strong industry relationships and the value they place on their franchise owners,” said Maria and Roxana in a joint statement. “From day one, they made us feel like part of the family. Their expert team supported us through every step of launching our agency; helping us build carrier relationships and providing tools essential to our success. GreatFlorida empowers us to represent the brand in a way that aligns with our vision and values.”
Ike Peerbhai, Founder and President of GreatFlorida Insurance, shared his excitement about the newest addition to the network:
“Maria and Roxana exemplify everything we look for in GreatFlorida franchise owners: dedication, industry expertise, and a genuine commitment to serving their community. Their unique backgrounds and strong family partnership are a perfect fit for our growing network. We are proud to welcome them to the GreatFlorida family and look forward to their continued success in Davenport.”
The opening of the Davenport location marks another milestone in GreatFlorida’s mission to provide Floridians with trusted, local insurance solutions backed by a strong statewide network. With over 140 locations across Florida, GreatFlorida Insurance continues to grow by partnering with experienced, entrepreneurial-minded professionals like Maria and Roxana.
