Who Are We?

Insurance Pro Agencies (IPA) is a huge network of some of the top independent insurance agencies dedicated to creating the freedom and stability owner-operators are looking to experience.

More than just market access, IPA allows their agents to break free from “captivity” of carrier restrictions.

For over 15 years, IPA has been a family-owned and operated insurance aggregator helping hundreds of agents make the switch. 


The IPA Story

Experience the IPA Difference

In the  very early days of his profession, Terry recalls being in clients' homes and keeping his feet flat on the floor to hide the holes in the bottom of his shoes. But hard work pays off—and he quickly excelled in the insurance field.

1982

Terry O'Reilly began his insurance career as a life insurance agent for MetLife. He excelled in this role and was being trained for a management position when a friend from Allstate told him about P&C renewal income. Soon after, Terry became an Allstate agent—and had a fantastic rookie year.

1984

Terry was soon promoted to District Sales Manager. He experienced much success and learned the insurance business inside and out. During this time, he earned several top sales awards and traveled to London, Hawaii, and Mexico. He discovered he had a natural ability to recruit and train new agents to be successful. He led the Chicago area in recruiting for many years, until out of the blue ... 

1991

... Terry's position was eliminated at Allstate. He joined Country Companies as an independent captive agent, where he once again earned top recognition sales awards. He was being considered for a sales management position, but didn't feel right about accepting, as he still felt too restricted in a captive setting.

One morning, a couple of ex-Allstate agents invited Terry to breakfast. He learned about the options TRUE independent agents could offer their clients and the value they bring. He knew it was EXACTLY what he needed to move foward and start enjoying the business again.

1994

Terry joined Manzke Insurance Agency in Orland Park, IL as an independent agency producer. The name was later changed to Manzke and Travaglini Insurance Agency.

1997

Terry became a partner, and the agency name was changed to MTO Insurance Agency (Manzke, Travaglini, and O'Reilly).

2004

Terry became sole owner of the agency and changed the name to Insurance Pro Agencies—with a vision of creating a network.

2006

The agency contracted its first independent agency, and the "network" was born.

A decade into his career, Terry became tired of the company dictating his goals. The only time he felt independent was when a bill needed to be paid. Sound familiar? Frustrated, Terry began building his own agency and decided to go independent.

2010

Adam O'Reilly joined IPA as the Controller.

2012

Dave O'Reilly purchased a book of business and joined IPA as an independent agent.

2015

IPA sold a decent chunk of the book of business to focus all of our efforts on growing the agency network.

That's what the insurance business is all about—building something for yourself and for your family, so you can pursue what you love to do the most.

Imagine what that would like like for you!

2017

Rebranded the IPA network and launched an online presence.

2020

IPA created the best program in the marketplace, reached 100+ agency partners, and increased recruiting efforts.

2021

Added 35 new IPA agency partners, and put in the work to prepare to add more in the future.

2023

Our goal is now to add 50+ agency partners and grow IPA by 30%!

The recognition and awards have continued as an independent agent, but now Terry is free to establish his own goals and enjoy the benefit of his hard work. Being an independent agency owner has allowed Terry to pursue his passion for travel and golf, and he even became a private pilot.
