🐾 Meet Cove, Goldleaf's newest client. 🐾

Cove stopped by Goldleaf today looking for a bond guaranteeing that her owner, Jack Anderson, will provide unlimited treats, toys, belly rubs, and bones.

Our underwriting team is still evaluating the risk, but initial indications are looking paw-sitive.

We couldn't resist sharing this special throwback from 2012 in Honor of Jan Sachariason's birthday!!

Pictured below is Jan, Jack, and Ron, after presenting the Goldleaf Surety Services Scholarship to two local graduating seniors: Tyler Sachariason (Jan's son!) and our very own, Kendyl Meseck.

Over the years, Jan has played an important role in Goldleaf's commitment to supporting students and giving back to the communities we serve. This photo captures just one of the many ways she has helped make a difference both in our office and in our community.

We are so thankful that you have been a part of the Goldleaf team for over 20 years and look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you.

Please help us in wishing Jan a Happy Birthday!!

Success Story: When Every Minute Counts

Anyone who works with clients that need surety bonds knows that timing is critical. While we always appreciate having advance notice on bond requests, the reality is that many opportunities come down to tight deadlines and last-minute requests. In those moments, having a dedicated bond team in your corner can make all the difference.

Recently, a client reached out with a bid bond request and explained that they needed the bond returned within the hour. They knew it was a long shot, but they wanted to see if we could make it happen.The challenge? Their underwriter was out of the office at an appointment when the request came in.

Fortunately, the client had also copied Goldleaf's New Business Intake Manager, Kendyl Meseck, on the email. Kendyl quickly routed the request to our underwriting team to see if someone had availability to jump in. Account Manager, Braden Hoekstra, immediately stepped up, reviewed the documents, issued the bid bond, and delivered it back to the client - all within the one-hour deadline.

To us, this isn't an extraordinary success story. It's simply how our team operates.

Because surety bonds are all we do, we have systems and processes in place that allow our team to step in and support one another when timing is tight. If an underwriter is unavailable, another team member is ready to jump in and keep things moving. That collaboration helps ensure our clients receive the service they need when they need it most.

This may not be the flashiest success story, but it highlights something that matters most to our team - when deadlines are tight and projects are on the line, having the right team behind you can be the difference between submitting a bid and missing one altogether.

At Goldleaf, our goal is simple - help our clients secure the bonds they need and keep business moving forward.

Have you ever wondered what kind of celebration awaits when you submit 1,000 bond requests with Goldleaf?

Well, one of our clients recently hit that milestone, and we're excited to finally reveal the coveted prize:☕ "1,000 Bond Requests and All I Got Was This Stupid Mug."

While the prize may be questionable, the milestone is anything but. We are incredibly grateful for this client's trust in Goldleaf—and for the trust all of our clients place in us every day. We look forward to many more bond requests in the years ahead.

And who knows? Maybe someday you'll become the proud owner of the coveted 1,000 Bond Request Mug yourself. 😉

Our Account Mangers, Gabe and Braden, spent the day at the 37th Annual Associated Builders and Contractors of Minnesota & North Dakota Golf Tournament.

A big thank you Floyd Perrine and Caleb Rathjen at EMC for such a fun day out on the course. We will never pass up an opportunity to golf while also strengthening our industry relationships.

It's too good not to share! ⭐

We recently received some exceptional feedback from a valued agent about our newest Account Manager, Braden Hoekstra. While we could say plenty about his dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to our agents and clients, we believe this feedback speaks for itself -

I wanted to take a moment to send a quick note of gratitude for the excellent customer service your Account Manager, Braden Hoekstra, displayed on a bid bond request with a very quick turnaround. This client is newer to us and had not worked with Goldleaf before, and they contacted us for a bid that was due in two days. Not only did Braden step up to make sure the bond application and supporting documents were processed quickly yet thoroughly, but he even exchanged emails with me after hours and offered to meet the client to provide the required original bond so she could get the bid submitted in time.

We have always enjoyed working with Goldleaf, but Braden’s above and beyond service truly displayed a level of partnership and collaboration that we and our clients truly value. Thank you for having such an exceptional employee!

We are so grateful to have team members like Braden who go the extra mile for our agents and their clients each and every day.
