Dealer-Owned Structure

Keep More Profit Under Your Control

DealerRE helps dealerships establish and manage reinsurance trust structures that support compliant, dealer-owned participation in profitable F&I programs.

Before joining the company, he worked at local dealerships as both an F&I Manager and Salesman, giving him direct insight into the pressures dealers face on the showroom floor and in the finance office. That background helps him connect reinsurance strategy to real-world dealership operations, staff adoption, and customer-facing execution. Since joining DealerRE, Parker has helped support clients looking to improve profitability, streamline product performance, and gain more control over their F&I income. His practical perspective makes him especially valuable to dealers who want guidance grounded in everyday dealership realities rather than theory alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reinsurance trust?

A reinsurance trust is a financial structure used to hold and manage funds connected to a reinsurance program. In the dealer space, it helps support obligations, protect assets, and create a formal framework for handling underwriting income, reserves, and related program administration. When properly structured, it adds transparency, control, and compliance support to a dealer-owned reinsurance arrangement.
