Biography
About Scott Neill

Scott Neill is the founder, President, and Principal Agent of Neill Insurance Brokers, LLC, an independent insurance brokerage headquartered in downtown Roanoke, Texas. With a career spanning more than 15 years in the insurance industry, Scott has built a reputation as one of the most trusted advisors in Northwest Tarrant County and the greater DFW Metroplex — earning a loyal client base through straight talk, deep product knowledge, and a genuine commitment to doing what's right for the people he serves.

Scott's path to independence was anything but ordinary. He spent 10 years as a Farmers Insurance agent — building his book to $6 million in premium, ranking #325 out of 11,000 agents nationally, and posting $839,000 in new business in his final year, with a 91.4% premium retention ratio. By late 2021, he made a decisive move: he converted to an independent brokerage so he could shop 40+ carriers and put his clients' interests first, rather than being bound to a single company's products.

Scott is a graduate of Oklahoma State University's Spears School of Business, where he studied Finance and Marketing and was active in Delta Sigma Pi and Sigma Alpha Lambda Honor Society. He is a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Round Table, a member of NAIFA and Big I, and an Ambassador for the Northwest Metroport Chamber of Commerce — reflecting his commitment to both professional excellence and community leadership in Roanoke.

Beyond client advising, Scott hosts the Small Talk With Scott podcast, spotlighting local small business owners across Roanoke. He also leads Neill Insurance Brokers' M&A strategy with a vision to grow the agency to $10MM in premium through organic growth and strategic acquisitions across DFW.

"Scott genuinely cares about his customers and their businesses. I've recommended him to several other businesses — whether they're just starting out or looking for a better quote and coverage."

Philosophy
The NIB Advisor Approach

Scott built Neill Insurance Brokers around a belief that most people are being underserved by how insurance is sold. He categorizes the industry into three approaches — and is unapologetically committed to only one:

01
Selling on Price
Commodity mindset. Leads to poorly written policies, low satisfaction, and gaps clients don't discover until they file a claim.
02
Selling a Carrier
Better — but still limited. One company's products can't cover every client's unique risk profile. Common with captive agents.
03
Custom Coverage
The NIB method. Consultative, problem-specific, shops 40+ carriers to build the right plan for each client's actual situation.
