About Us

Who we are

When it comes to financial security and insurance protection, most people want to form a long-term relationship with a trusted advisor they can go back to many years into the future.

A survey by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) found three out of four insurance consumers use an agent when purchasing personal insurance. More than half the respondents over age 55 had purchased insurance from the same agent for at least 20 years. More than 60 percent said they value the opportunity to discuss their insurance with a real person.

So what are some ways to size up an agent, and an agency?

  • Independence is number one. Independent agents represent an average of eight different companies—not just one. They can evaluate and compare the products of several insurance companies to find you the right combination of coverage and value.
  • Licensing by the state.
  • Number, and names, of companies represented.
  • Number of years the agent, and agency, have been in business.
  • Professional designations the agent may have earned. CPCU (Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter) and CLU (Chartered Life Underwriter) are among the industry's most rigorous and prestigious professional designations. 
 
  • Recommendations and referrals. How did you hear about the agent and the agency? Did someone you trust refer you to them? Did they have a good experience?
  • Full service capability. Is this a full-service agency for auto, home, health, and disability products?
  • Service representative. Ask who will handle your account for routine updates and transactions.
  • Hours. Emergency numbers. Claims service. Ask if you can contact the agency after hours for claims or other emergency needs.
  • Claims help. Ask the agent what their role will be in handling and tracking any claims you might have. Will they help resolve any disputes that might arise with an insurance company, for example?
  • Policy review. Does the agency occasionally review and update policies to make sure your insurance is keeping pace with changes in your situation?
  • Community involvement. Does your agent participate in any local organizations, boards, volunteer activities and other civic endeavors?
  • Industry associations. Does your agent participate in any local, state or national trade associations? Such activities often signify professionalism and a commitment to continuing education in the insurance field.
