About Us
Since 1990, Distinctive Insurance has provided insurance and employee benefits consulting services to Southern Nevada businesses.
Distinctive was founded on the belief that a benefit and risk management firm should function as an arm of the company it represents. Distinctive strives to deliver tailored insurance solutions with thoughtful strategic planning, valuable professional services, and technology-based resources.
In 2018, Distinctive joined Alera Group, one of the nation’s top 15 largest independent insurance agencies and one of the top 10 largest privately held benefits firms.
The Alera Group comprises over 80 firms and serves thousands of clients nationwide. This national presence allows Distinctive to provide employee benefits, property and casualty, and wealth management services with the resources, technical expertise and best practices of a larger national firm.
