For Wil Somerville, insurance is about far more than policies and premiums. It is about helping people protect what they have worked hard to build.
Based in Miami, Florida, Wil is driven by a mission to help individuals, families, businesses, and employees grow wealth, protect loved ones, and leave a legacy for future generations. His professional philosophy is anchored in trust, compassion, education, and service.
As the owner of Buena Vista Insurance Brokers, Wil works closely with clients to understand their goals before recommending solutions. Rather than focusing on transactions, he focuses on relationships.
Wil’s entrepreneurial journey began long before entering the insurance industry.
His father was a real estate developer, which inspired his early interest in business and development. During his college years, Wil completed an internship with a real estate developer in Los Angeles, gaining firsthand exposure to the industry.
After returning to South Florida, he worked with Keyes and continued pursuing opportunities within the real estate sector. However, a position with a marketing company serving insurance organizations introduced him to a new industry.
For approximately 15 years, Wil built experience in marketing and business development while working closely with insurance professionals. Over time, he developed a deep appreciation for the role insurance plays in protecting families, businesses, and financial futures.
That experience eventually led him to establish Buena Vista Insurance Brokers.
Buena Vista Insurance Brokers was built on a simple principle: help people make informed decisions.
The company focuses on providing personal consultations that eliminate confusion and simplify the insurance selection process.
Rather than forcing consumers to navigate endless online searches and sales calls, Buena Vista Insurance Brokers provides direct guidance tailored to each client’s situation.
Areas of focus include:
- Individual Health Insurance
- Group Health Insurance
- Life Insurance
- Home Insurance
- Auto Insurance
- Commercial Insurance
- Business Insurance Solutions
- Risk Management Strategies
The firm’s objective is to provide “La Buena Vista”—the good view—when helping clients evaluate risk and coverage options.
Wil holds two important Florida insurance licenses.
Florida 2-15 License
This license allows him to assist clients with:
- Life Insurance
- Health Insurance
- Disability Insurance
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Fixed Annuities
- Variable Annuities
Florida 2-20 License
This license authorizes him to provide:
- Homeowners Insurance
- Auto Insurance
- Commercial Insurance
- Property Insurance
- Liability Insurance
- Business Insurance Solutions
These licenses allow Wil to serve both personal and commercial clients across multiple insurance categories.
One of Wil’s greatest strengths is his ability to understand that every client faces different circumstances.
A growing family has different concerns than a business owner. Likewise, a professional planning retirement requires different solutions than someone purchasing insurance for the first time.
By focusing on education and personalized consultation, Wil helps clients evaluate factors such as:
- Cost
- Coverage
- Network Access
- Long-Term Financial Goals
- Risk Exposure
- Family Protection
This consultative approach helps clients make informed decisions based on their unique needs.
