About Us

James Downs Insurance was established in 1971.

James met the insurance needs of Apache Junction, Gold Canyon and East Mesa residents whom he also called friends for nearly 5 decades.

His daughter, Emily, began her career with him in 1999.

In January of 2018, Jim passed and Emily has proudly taken ownership of the agency to continue his business.

Why do business with James Downs Insurance Agency?

Unlike a captive, or direct insurance company who only offers their own proprietary products, our agency is 100% independent of any one company. Many insurance consumers don’t fully understand just how important that really is.

When it comes to something as important as insurance, it’s imperative that you work with an agency who has an in-depth knowledge of multiple insurance products, companies, and guidelines — not just one.

At the end of the day, what separates one agent from another, is their ability to proactively service their policy holders, and their knowledge of the insurance industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to their clients.
