Mike, If you haven't done so already, check-out www.agencyequity.com
On the left side of the home page, under the block ads is a listing of drop-down links. Go to 'Agency Resources Directory' then click-on 'Agency Clusters/Alliances', etc. and click-on California on the map. The owner is based in California and he is probably pretty current on options in your State. May provide some possibilities for you of networks/franchises, etc. that you haven't contacted yet. Hopefully you will find one or more willing to talk to you. Hope this helps you.

Agencyequity could be a useful resource in your situation.

I didn't realize this was strictly a marketing piece. I thought it was more educational.
