Good News Insurance Agency

Farid Almasi

Licensed Insurance Specialist – Sales & Service

I’m Farid Almasi, a licensed insurance specialist at Good News Insurance Agency in Los Angeles, California. With over 25 years of experience serving clients—and nearly a decade dedicated specifically to insurance—I am proud to carry forward the legacy of a trusted agency that has supported our community since 1991.

My background in banking and financial services gave me a strong foundation in helping people make informed, confident decisions about their future. Today, my mission is simple: to guide each client through their insurance options with patience, clarity, and genuine care. I am fully licensed in personal, commercial, life, and health insurance by the California Department of Insurance.

Whether you’re an individual, a family, a contractor, or a business owner, I take the time to listen to your needs, explain every policy in plain language, and make sure you have coverage that fits your unique situation. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping clients feel truly protected and prepared for whatever life brings.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and mountain climbing, spending time with my family, cooking and baking, and cheering on my favorite soccer teams. I look forward to helping you achieve real peace of mind.
