Owner/CEO
Mitchell Petree
As the owner of Midwest Insurance Partners, I bring over 6 years of experience in the insurance industry, including founding and operating my own Allstate agency, which I started from scratch. This experience provided me with a strong foundation in personal lines insurance, covering everything from golf carts and pets to high-value homes, while mastering my skills in building lasting relationships and understanding clients' unique needs.
​
In addition to my insurance experience, I successfully started and built a property management company from the ground up. This venture deepened my understanding of real estate, client needs, and operational management, allowing me to provide clients with well-rounded insights and support for their insurance and property management needs.

At Midwest Insurance Partners, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and fostering trust-based relationships, making us a valued partner in our clients' financial security.
