Hunter and Ashton Bol didn't come to insurance from a corporate training program. They came from real estate and property management — and they built Brelli because they saw exactly what happens when coverage fails.
Brelli Insurance Group was founded in 2023 by two brothers who came up through real estate and property management — not through a sales desk or franchise system.
That background gave us something most agencies don't have: a firsthand understanding of what it actually costs when coverage fails. A claim that stalls a construction draw. A lawsuit that blows through a GL limit. A rental property exposed because a landlord didn't know the difference between a homeowners policy and a lessor's risk policy.
"We built Brelli to be the agency we wished existed when we were managing properties."
— Hunter Bol, Managing Partner
We're not the oldest agency in Grand Rapids.
But we might be the most prepared for the risks you actually face.
Most agencies sell policies. We build coverage strategies — grounded in a real understanding of the industries we serve.
We're not captive to any single carrier. We shop 30+ top-rated insurers — so the coverage we recommend is based entirely on your risk profile, not what's easiest for us to sell.
Contractors liability. Lessors risk. Builders risk. These are the lines most agencies treat as afterthoughts. They're our primary focus — because our backgrounds taught us exactly what's at stake.
When you call Brelli, you reach Hunter or Ashton directly. No call centers. No rotating associates. The same person who reviewed your coverage is the one who picks up.
We came from the industries we serve. Property management and real estate backgrounds mean we understand contractor exposure, tenant risk, and development timelines from the inside.
Your business is protected. Your home and family should be too. We handle both sides of your risk profile — no gaps between personal and commercial coverage.
Built around the industries driving Grand Rapids: construction, real estate, and property management. We know the local market because we've worked in it.
Hunter founded Brelli Insurance Group after years in real estate and property management — industries that exposed him to virtually every type of commercial loss scenario. He saw how often clients were mismatched with coverage that looked right on paper but failed when it mattered.
He specializes in commercial lines and brings a developer's eye to every risk assessment. When you're structuring coverage for a construction project or a rental portfolio, he's who you want in the room.
Ashton is the engine behind Brelli's client experience. With a background in property management and a talent for translating complex insurance concepts into plain language, he's usually the first person you'll talk to — and the last to sign off before a policy goes out.
He's 24, which sometimes surprises new clients. Then they go through the coverage review, and it doesn't anymore.
We take the time to understand your operation, exposure, and goals before recommending anything. If a policy doesn't make sense for you, we say so.
We're young. Our agency is two years old. But the knowledge we carry into every meeting comes from years on the ground in real estate — industries that teach you what's at stake when coverage fails.
When you call Brelli, you reach Hunter or Ashton — directly. No call centers. No rotating associates. If your situation changes, you're not starting over with someone new.
15 minutes is all it takes to find out where your coverage stands — and where it doesn't.
