BD / ORIGIN 01
Built in Watertown. Serving nationwide.

Independent by choice.Personal by design.

Built Different began with a simple conviction: families deserve more options, and agents deserve more development.

Founder’s note

“The recommendation should fit the family—not the carrier contract sitting on the agent’s desk.”

Trevor Tipton founded Built Different after seeing families receive narrow recommendations from agents with limited access. The answer was an independent platform with broad carrier choice, plain-English advice, and a builder culture centered on people.
