Independent Agents

There is a difference in where you buy protection. We are independent insurance agents, representing a number of insurance companies. This allows us to shop your coverage needs with these firms to find you the best combination of price, coverage, and service. Your Independent Insurance Agent is a licensed professional with strong customer and community ties, assisting you when you have a claim, working as a consultant with you to determine your needs, offering one-stop shopping for a full range of products, and reviewing your coverage to maintain your changing insurance needs. There is a difference!
