The people who advise you

Everyone in the team speaks German.

Who I am

My name is Agnieszka Valenta and I am your independent insurance broker (Versicherungsmaklerin und Beraterin in Versicherungsangelegenheiten), based in Breitenwaida near Hollabrunn. As a qualified insurance broker I advise private clients and businesses in Lower Austria, Vienna and Burgenland. My aim is to find the best insurance solution for you — not the one that earns me the highest commission, but the one that suits you best.

As an independent broker I am not tied to any insurance company. That means I compare offers from many insurers and choose the best value for money for you. My independence is your advantage.

Advice is available in German, Polish, English, Serbian and Bosnian. We advise in English, German, Polish, Serbian and Bosnian.

Our story – since 1998

1982 – Gerhard Valenta starts in the insurance industry, first as an employee of Wiener Allianz.
1998 – He founds his own agency in Hollabrunn as an independent multi-company agent.
2008 – Agnieszka Valenta starts at Zürich Versicherung in Stockerau and in November passes the “Geprüfte Versicherungsfachfrau” exam (certified insurance specialist).
2010 – Gerhard Valenta moves the agency to Großstelzendorf.
2012 – The office moves to Breitenwaida.
2014 – In October, Agnieszka Valenta joins the Valenta agency.
2018 – On 1 September she takes over the agency.
2019 – In April she passes the qualifying examination (Befähigungsprüfung) and has since worked as an independent insurance broker.

Agnieszka Valenta therefore knows both sides – sales at an insurer and work as an agent – and has consciously chosen independence. Together the family today has more than 40 years of experience in the insurance industry.

Our philosophy

Insurance is a matter of trust. That is why we work according to three simple principles:

What does “independent insurance broker” mean? An insurance broker represents the interests of the client — not of the insurance company. This is the fundamental difference from an insurance agent, who is tied to a particular company. As a brokerage we are legally obliged to act in your best interest.

How we work

Our advisory process is clearly structured and tailored to your individual needs:

1. Needs analysis

In a personal conversation we get to know your current life situation, existing insurance and individual risks.

2. Market comparison

We compare offers from 21 insurance companies and find the best solution for your budget and requirements.

3. Transparent advice

You receive a clear recommendation with all the pros and cons — so you can make an informed decision.

4. Ongoing support

We are there for you after the contract is signed too: with claims, contract changes or when your life situation changes.
