Our Story: Serving California Since 1965
Pacific Southwest Insurance Services was founded in 1965 by George W. Koutsoubas with a simple goal: quality insurance, outstanding service, and professional advice, all with a personal touch. More than 60 years later, we are still a family-run agency working from the same neighborhood in Northridge, at the corner of Nordhoff Street and Reseda Boulevard.
What started as a local agency serving the San Fernando Valley now places coverage for businesses and families across California and nationwide.
Work Directly With a Licensed Agent
When you call us, you talk to a licensed professional in our Northridge office who knows your account, not a call center. We review your coverage with you, explain your options in plain language, and stay with you when it is time to renew or file a claim.
Licensed and Accountable
Pacific Southwest Insurance Services is licensed by the California Department of Insurance, License # 0F41718. You can confirm our license status at any time with the California Department of Insurance license lookup.
