Rooted in Albany—

A Legacy of Community Service

Marie Sandman grew up in Albany, Oregon, and has spent her entire career helping families across the region protect their health and future. She started in insurance in 1978 under the guidance of Jim Corwin and, after nearly two decades of learning the business, became the agency’s owner in 1997. Seeing a growing need for clear Medicare guidance, Marie expanded Corwin Insurance to help seniors navigate a system that can feel overwhelming. Her deep knowledge of both the industry and the local community means every client gets honest advice, grounded in experience and genuine care.
