I grew up in the small town of Fountain Hills where Brokers Alliance is located. Fountain Hills is known for having one of the largest man made fountains in the world and can shoot up to 560 ft in the air. My family and I are very close! My brother and I have lived together since 2010 and just recently sold our property and went our separate ways. We still maintain family dinners weekly to stay close.
My goal for every workday is to leave it all on the table. If I walk away knowing that I did, it was a success.

I am the Marketing Director for our Exclusive, Proprietary Lines Division here at Brokers Alliance.
Arizona Native. Peoria specifically. I have a small tight knit immediate family that means everything to me but have a good amount of relatives in Oklahoma and Texas.
I don’t know if I have one particular accomplishment I am the proudest of. However, my little Brother’s High School Graduation is one of my proudest moments.
I was told along time ago that when it comes to life as long as you are doing the best you can as much as you can, nothing can be considered a failure. So as long as I’ve done the best I can as much as I was able to, I consider the day a success.
My Grandfather, Charles Cramer. He died when I was really young and as a grown man, being a direct descendant, hearing his insight and perspective I feel would be extremely rewarding.

Sloane Coleman
Agent Relationship Manager
I’m a part of the sales team as an Agent Relationship Manager! I get to chat with and help agents successfully map out the most ideal path to meet each of their client’s needs.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I love being in a larger city surrounded by beautiful nature, I hope to raise my own family here one day, too! I am engaged to my high school sweetheart and so excited to get to marry him while surrounded by all our favorite people in late-November of this year.
I know it sounds cliche, but I am so proud of the relationships in my life. I have a great circle of friends that have supported me for years, a big and loving family that has my back through it all, and of course, my soon-to-be husband, Jake, that motivates me more than anything. I feel the relationships you keep say a lot about a person, and I am proud to be represented by the people in my life.
I will put forth as much effort as is needed to solve as many problems as possible, so as long as I have made someone’s day easier, I am happy.
I think I would have to put my Nana in a room with Julie Andrews… they are too similar for me to believe they may not be the same person. Plus, who wouldn’t want to hear the angelic voice that made ‘the Hills come alive’?!
My bucket list has many levels- some are easily attainable, others may take some work to reach, haha. I want to travel the world with my soon-to-be husband (10 different countries before having children, ideally), become a GREAT drummer, and my biggest goal is to start a big, happy family to share my successes with.
