About Kristin Gaines

Building the future of independent life insurance in Colorado Springs.I run Gaines Life Insurance with my husband Kyle — an agency built on a simple premise: life insurance agents deserve autonomy, transparency, and community.No quotas. No office politics. No hype-driven BS.Most agents I talk to are either stuck in captive systems that don\'t serve them, or isolated as independents without support. Our vision is to build a third option — a local hub where insurance professionals can build real businesses, collaborate with driven peers, and actually own what they create.What I\'m building:A transparent agency model where agents keep what they earn and control their growthA co-working community for insurance pros in Colorado Springs & beyondA team culture focused on long-term thinkingWho I work with:I specialize in helping entrepreneurial people who feel successful but restless—transition into high-income, flexible careers in life insurance. Former teachers, nurses, corporate professionals, military spouses. People who want financial freedom without sacrificing their values or their time.My approach:Calm. Direct. Anti-hype. I believe in building something sustainable, not creating dependency. If you\'re looking for a guru or a cheerleader, I\'m not your gal. If you want a straight-shooter who\'s building something real in Colorado Springs with a fully remote option, let\'s connect.Outside of insurance: wife to Kyle, outdoor lover, Jesus follower & lover of coffee. Colorado Springs, CO Always open to connecting with local insurance professionals
