Meet the Gurus
Ed Faber, Agent/Owner
Ed Faber
My wife and I have made Cedar Rapids our home for over 40 years and raised our family here. I love getting involved in my church, Knights of Columbus, Landlords of Linn County, Catholic Laymen’s Club and other organizations. I earned a B.S degree in marketing from Drake University. I especially enjoyed my 20-year career in advertising at the Cedar Rapids Gazette prior to becoming a licensed insurance agent.
Business Philosophy
I’m a believer in long-term relationships. I never like to lose any family’s business. As a captive agent there was little I could do, for example, if their rates skyrocketed just for adding a young driver. Making the move to an independent agent allowed me to shop multiple carriers. Now I can now offer my clients more competitive alternatives so they don’t have the need to go elsewhere.
I’ve always had a creative and independent spirit. It’s thrilling to fulfill my life long dream of becoming a small business owner! Now I’m free to use my marketing background to build my own brand and stand out from other agents. As a Trusted Choice agent, I’m a member of Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America. I most enjoy helping people get the most value for their insurance dollar. Learn more about the benefits of an independent agent in our blog. Locally owned and locally involved!
