FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Palm City, FL –
GreatFlorida Insurance announces its expansion into St. Augustine with the addition of Julie Zaytsev, the newest franchise owner serving the St. Augustine community.
With nearly two decades of industry experience and a passion for helping clients protect what matters most, Zaytsev brings a dynamic and relationship-driven approach to the local community.
“I’m excited to begin this new chapter as the owner of a new GreatFlorida Insurance franchise in St. Augustine,” said Zaytsev.
“Insurance has been both my career and my passion for nearly 20 years. I’ve had the opportunity to work on both the agency and carrier sides of the business—from running agencies to building carrier partnerships—and I look forward to using that experience to help clients make confident, informed decisions about their coverage.”
Zaytsev’s background spans a wide range of roles across the insurance landscape, including agency ownership and leadership positions with nationally recognized companies such as Allstate, Farmers Insurance, Swyfft, Ethos, and Ladder. Her experience has equipped her with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of how to tailor insurance solutions to meet the unique needs of individuals, families, and business owners.
A graduate with a degree in International Business and a minor in Finance, Zaytsev has always been driven by a passion for building meaningful relationships and helping others navigate important financial and insurance decisions with clarity and confidence.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Zaytsev is a devoted mother of two sons and enjoys an active lifestyle that includes time at the beach, biking, skiing, reading, and playing mahjong. Her strong family values and community focus are central to the way she approaches both her business and client relationships.
“We are thrilled to welcome Julie Zaytsev to the GreatFlorida Insurance family,” said Dustyn Shroff, Vice President of GreatFlorida Insurance.
“Julie’s diverse background across both agency and carrier environments, combined with her passion for serving others, makes her an outstanding addition to our network. We are confident she will make a lasting impact in the St. Augustine community.”
As an independent agency owner under the GreatFlorida brand, Julie Zaytsev’s agency will offer a full range of personal and commercial insurance products—including home, auto, and commercial coverage—with a focus on personalized service and tailored solutions designed to provide peace of mind.
