MEET MARIA

Insurance should be more than a policy.

I’m Maria Corona, founder of Havenmark Insurance Solutions, an independent insurance brokerage built on a simple philosophy: insurance should be more than a policy—it should be a thoughtful strategy for protecting what you’ve worked hard to build.

With more than 20 years of experience across the insurance industry, my background spans underwriting, marketing, retail and wholesale brokerage, and nearly 15 years as a State Farm agency owner. This diverse experience has given me a broad understanding of how the insurance industry operates, how carriers evaluate and underwrite risk, how coverage solutions are developed, and how to help clients navigate an increasingly complex insurance marketplace.

My career began in 2002 in underwriting and marketing, where I developed an early understanding of the carrier perspective and the factors that influence insurance decisions. Throughout my career, I also gained experience in both retail and wholesale brokerage, expanding my knowledge of carrier relationships, specialty markets, and the placement of risks that may require a more specialized approach.

In 2012, I opened my own State Farm agency and spent nearly 15 years building relationships with clients, guiding coverage decisions, and managing a business of my own. That experience gave me firsthand insight into the responsibilities business owners carry, the importance of protecting their investments, and the value of having an insurance advisor who understands both the business and the risks behind it.

Today, I bring these perspectives together through Havenmark Insurance Solutions.

My approach is rooted in understanding the client first, evaluating the exposures, exploring appropriate insurance markets, and identifying coverage solutions aligned with the client’s individual needs. I believe that understanding how carriers approach risk—and knowing how to navigate the insurance marketplace—can make a meaningful difference in finding the right path forward.

Havenmark Insurance Solutions was created to provide businesses and organizations with a personalized, consultative approach to commercial and specialty insurance.

Every business has a unique story, and every risk deserves to be understood in context. We look beyond the basic policy requirements to consider the operations, property, contracts, vehicles, employees, and other exposures that can affect a business’s financial stability and long-term success.

Our areas of focus include commercial property, general liability, commercial auto and transportation, specialty risks, complex commercial accounts, churches and faith-based organizations, and businesses with unique or challenging insurance needs.

By leveraging my experience across different areas of the insurance industry and working with insurance carriers and specialty markets, my goal is to help clients explore appropriate coverage options and connect with solutions that fit their risk profiles.

Not every risk fits neatly into a standard insurance program. When a business has more complex needs, understanding the marketplace and knowing where to explore alternatives can be especially valuable.

Throughout my career, one of my greatest priorities has been helping clients understand what they are buying and why it matters.

Insurance terminology, exclusions, limits, deductibles, endorsements, and contractual requirements can be difficult to navigate. My goal is to make those decisions easier to understand by explaining coverage in practical, relatable terms.

I believe clients deserve to understand not only what a policy covers, but also its limitations, potential gaps, and how it relates to their individual circumstances.

My role is to provide guidance, ask the right questions, and help clients make informed decisions about protecting their businesses, assets, and financial futures.

After more than two decades in insurance, I have learned that this business is ultimately about people, trust, and relationships.

As a former agency owner, I understand the commitment it takes to build a business and the responsibility that comes with protecting what others have worked hard to create. I know that insurance decisions are rarely just about price. They are about confidence, continuity, financial security, and having someone who will take the time to understand your needs.

I strive to build long-term relationships with clients and serve as a trusted resource as their businesses grow, their operations change, and their insurance needs evolve.

Havenmark represents the next chapter of my professional journey: bringing together decades of industry experience, a broad understanding of insurance distribution and carrier perspectives, and a personalized approach to commercial and specialty risk.

As an independent brokerage, Havenmark is focused on helping clients navigate the insurance marketplace with greater clarity and confidence. My commitment is to understand your business, explore appropriate options, explain the differences, and help you make informed decisions about your protection.

Whether you are safeguarding a growing business, commercial property, a transportation operation, a church or nonprofit organization, or a more complex specialty risk, you deserve an advisor who takes the time to understand what is at stake.

Your business represents years of hard work, investment, and vision. It deserves thoughtful guidance and a protection strategy built around its unique needs.
