About James Inwood
Who We Are
Serving Oakville with Local Knowledge and Experience
James has lived and worked in Oakville his entire life. His office is located near Trafalgar and Church Street in the heart of Old Oakville, just a few blocks from the waterfront and the shops and cafés that line Lakeshore Road. This is the area he knows best, and it’s where many of his clients live, work, or own property.
He serves clients across the town, including West Oakville, Bronte, Kerr Village, and Central Oakville. Whether you’re in a heritage home near Allan Street or a newer build west of Rebecca Street, James understands the details that matter in this market. His work reflects not just the insurance itself but the people, the architecture, and the expectations that come with living in one of Ontario’s most established and affluent communities.
James is known for being thorough, honest, and easy to reach. He explains what coverage means in plain language, checks in regularly, and stays current on changes to local bylaws, construction rules, and flood mapping across postal codes like L6K, L6L, and L6H.
He works independently through Canadian Insurance Brokers Inc. (CIBI). This agency has been operating since 1991, with 30 years of history and an extensive cross-country presence. Under CIBI, we have access to more insurance companies and a more extensive broker network. Due to this, our services offer better pricing and coverage options.

Our Promise
Personal and Commercial Insurance That Works Together
James offers coverage for home, auto, and business needs, including more specialized areas like builders risk insurance, contractors insurance, and protection for heritage homes. If you’ve been turned away by a large insurer or told a particular risk couldn’t be covered, James will often have options others don’t.
He works with insurance providers who are willing to take on hard-to-place risks and can help clients combine multiple policies under one roof. This often leads to simpler renewals, fewer gaps in coverage, and lower overall insurance costs.
Many of his clients come to him after dealing with call center agents or unclear quotes. James takes a more complete approach. He reviews your situation, explains everything in plain terms, and recommends options that reflect both your needs and your property.
