Everett, WA, Sep 01, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Kelby Strohm, a third-generation insurance professional based in Everett, Washington, today announced the expansion of his specialized mortgage protection and family legacy planning services to reach more households across the region. The expansion reflects growing demand among Pacific Northwest families for coordinated family financial protection strategies that safeguard both income and property equity during unexpected life events, rather than addressing each risk separately after the fact.
Strohm represents Farmers Insurance and maintains access to every A- and A+-rated insurance carrier operating nationwide, giving clients a wide range of coverage options instead of a single company’s product lineup. His practice centers on mortgage protection, equity protection, funeral and final expense planning, and annuities and indexed universal life policies, all built around a simple philosophy: a family’s earning power is its most valuable financial asset, and it deserves the same level of protection most people only think to give their property.
“The biggest asset someone has is their earning power, and when that goes away unexpectedly, keeping the home equity intact is the next best thing you can do for your family,” said Kelby Strohm, financial planning advisor. “A lot of families protect the house itself without ever protecting the income that makes the mortgage payment possible in the first place. My expanded services are built to close exactly that gap for the people I work with.”
Strohm’s approach draws on a finance background that includes graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Washington, where he ranked in the top 0.6 percent of his class with a double major in Finance and in Leadership and Strategic Innovation. He was recognized as a Dean’s List Scholar and Academic Achievement Scholarship recipient, inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, one of the most prestigious business honor societies in the world, and selected for a first-of-its-kind combined MBA and undergraduate study abroad program in India focused on international business and technological innovation.
The expanded services build on more than 81 combined years of agency ownership across three generations of Strohm’s family, a history that shapes what he describes as an old-school, relationship-first approach paired with modern financial tools and carrier access. Rather than selling a single product on a first visit, Strohm walks Everett-area clients through a full review of income protection needs, mortgage-related risk, and long-term legacy planning goals before recommending any coordinated strategy, a process his office says typically takes multiple conversations rather than one rushed appointment. That approach also draws on years of marketing and content experience with organizations including Oakley, Audi, Boeing, and the Aspen Ideas Festival, work Strohm says taught him how to translate complicated financial concepts into language regular families can actually use when making decisions about their household’s future.
Everett has seen steady population growth in recent years, and local families are increasingly asking how to protect a mortgage payment if a primary earner becomes unable to work due to illness, injury, or job loss. Strohm’s expanded services are designed to answer that question directly, walking clients through term and permanent coverage options, critical illness protection, and strategies for preserving home equity during a period of reduced income, all without requiring clients to become insurance experts themselves before making a decision. The expanded offering also includes a more structured intake process, giving new clients a clearer picture of their current coverage gaps before any policy is recommended, and a follow-up review built into the first year of every new plan so families are not left to figure out changes in their coverage needs on their own.
The expanded services are now available to families and homeowners throughout Everett and the surrounding Puget Sound region. Interested clients can contact Kelby Strohm using the details provided below.
