This year marks Dressander|BHC’s 40th anniversary.
Dressander & Associates was founded in 1977 by Virgil A. Dressander in Naperville, IL. Since it's founding, his sons, Mike and Cam, have joined and eventually taken over running the family business. Dressander & Associates placed a high value on relationships, and believes firmly in treating the agents how they would want to be treated. They believed in helping to make agent’s dreams turn into a reality, and have been very successful in doing so by coming up with unique selling techniques to help close business at the point of sale.
BHC Marketing was founded in 1988 by Dr. Shelby Smith in the Woodlands, TX. They believed firmly in providing their agents with numerous value-added programs designed to help agents get in front of more clients to drive business. They helped turn agents businesses into recognizable brands with personalized web sites, newsletters, and much more. Their success came from focusing on quality, not quantity, and making sure that their staff was specialized so they could deliver the best value possible to their agents.
The success of both companies did not go unnoticed, and in October and December of 2010, Futurity First Financial Group bought BHC Marketing and Dressander & Associates, respectively. The reason behind this purchase was to create synergies between two great companies that specialized in very different, but complementary, ways in helping to drive agents business. Over the next year since the purchase, the companies have worked together to inventory staff and programs in order to put together one, cohesive company that can serve agent’s needs better than any other company in the industry. The result is Dressander|BHC.
In 2017, DBHC acquired another prominent FMO, Vick & Associates, as part of its growth plans – adding another DBHC office in Scottsdale, AZ. Vick & Associates was founded in 2013 by top producer Dave Vick.
