text: i live in oregon and i just passed my exam to be an agent (p&c). how do i become appointed with companies? i want to know how i can become an agent in oregon for different insurance companies? you need to contact the companies you want to represent, and ask them for an appointment!  they are going to ask you for a premium volume committment - usually at least $100,000 in the first year.    progressive is the easiest company to get appointed with.
