About IF Insurance Brokerage
Insurance is
personal here.
We are a family-led brokerage in Monsey, New York, arranging commercial and personal insurance for clients who value careful advice and someone they can count on.
Our principal
Isaak Friedman.
Isaak has spent close to two decades in insurance. He takes particular satisfaction in getting to know his clients, arranging coverage that fits, and staying beside them through a loss until the claim is resolved.
Isaak also has experience in commercial real estate, having been personally involved in substantial transactions. That firsthand perspective helps him understand the properties, values, and exposures behind complex commercial risks.
Isaak grew up in Europe as the son of a jeweler. Jewelry was part of his life long before insurance, and he still takes a real interest in the craft, the stones, and the people who work with them. That background gives him a close understanding of the trade and the care its insurance requires.
He values honest conversations and mutual trust. He wants to know the people he works with, and he wants them to know they can rely on him. That is how he has earned the confidence of clients and carriers alike.
The next generation
Pinchas and Mendy.
Isaak’s sons bring different experience to the brokerage and share his commitment to personal service.
Vice President
Pinchas Friedman
Pinchas works on modernizing day-to-day operations, building new market relationships, and studying developments across the insurance industry. His focus is on helping the brokerage grow while making things easier for clients and the team.
Pinchas is also studying medical science at university. His studies give him an additional perspective on healthcare and related risks, alongside his work across other forms of insurance.
Finance
Mendy Friedman
Mendy brings training in accounting and finance to his work overseeing the brokerage’s finances. He approaches the numbers carefully and helps keep the business organized as it grows.
Together, the brothers are building on the relationships their father has established, with the same expectation that clients should be able to reach someone who knows them.

The work that matters
From the first questions
to the final claim payment.
We spend time understanding the risk before we place the policy. We check the limits and wording, and work with carriers on tailored terms when a standard policy does not fit.
That work has helped clients save millions through better insurance placements and rates, alongside claim payments secured through careful policy wording and persistent advocacy.
When a loss happens, we stay involved. We help gather the facts, work through the carrier’s questions, and pursue the payment the policy provides. Some of our most satisfying work has been helping clients through difficult claims that were initially denied.
Whether the conversation is about a jewelry business, an apartment portfolio, another commercial risk, or personal insurance, you will find the same attention here.
