Elvir Bazdarevic of Modern Financial

Elvir Bazdarevic’s journey to the insurance industry is fueled by a powerful desire to create a lasting legacy for his family. Originally from what is now known as the former Yugoslavia, Elvir’s commitment to his loved ones and his work shines through in every step he takes. Before joining the insurance world, he was involved in consulting and sales, but a vision of financial freedom and flexibility led him to the insurance industry, and eventually to Lasting Mark.

His partnership with Lasting Mark, cultivated over nearly a year of relationship-building with Chief Visionary Officer, Roger Short, was born from a careful desire to work with the right people. The decision wasn’t taken lightly, but once Elvir realized the unwavering support and dedication of the Lasting Mark team, he knew this was where he could make his greatest impact. 

When asked, “What sets Lasting Mark apart from other Insurance Marketing Organizations?”, Elvir answered, “The people and the support…Lasting Mark has a stake in my agency being successful.” 

To Elvir, financial freedom isn’t just about personal success; it’s about the ability to give back and inspire others. He speaks passionately about teaching people how to achieve financial independence and hopes to be known as the hardest-working person in the room. Elvir strives to go above and beyond, creating a positive impact on everyone he works with by sharing the potential of the insurance industry and inspiring his team to dream bigger.

Looking ahead, Elvir’s advice to anyone considering a similar career path is simple but profound: find mentors who share your values, invest in yourself, be prepared to outwork everyone else, and get ready for the fight of your life. 

Above all, he encourages perseverance, emphasizing that success comes to those who believe they will succeed regardless of circumstances, stick to their vision, and understand that some days will bring challenges, but the process is always worth it. Through his work, Elvir is not just building a career—he’s building a legacy.
