“An independent agent is an insurance agent that sells insurance policies provided by several different insurance carriers, rather than just a single insurance company. The independent agent acts as a middleman to connect insurance buyers and sellers in order to facilitate a transaction. Independent agents are not considered employees of any specific insurance company."

I have found that many people dread talking about insurance or to anyone who works in insurance. This is bothersome since insurance is so very important; it is about providing a financial safety net that helps you to take care of yourself and those you love.  Auto Insurance does not only cover the car you are driving.  It protects you from financial liability, medical expenses, and from legal consequences.

An Independent Agent is there to help you. We get to know our clients on a personal level so we can better suggest coverages that would benefit them and their lifestyle.  We take the time to explain insurance to our clients, so they understand what coverages they have and why they need them.

Finding a local Independent Agent means, you do not have to call an 800 number for service.  When you call, you talk to your agent, someone who is already familiar with you and your policies.

"You are not just a policy number to us."

We hope you never have to file a claim, but chances are you will at some point in your life.  Whether it be your home policy or auto, an Independent Agent will help you through the process.  We will receive the information from you, submit the claim to your company and help to be sure your claim is adjusted fairly.  If you have any questions during the claims process, you can call us and we will work for you to get an answer. As your Agent, we are here to advocate for you!

“When you're shopping for an insurance agent, you're not just looking for an attractive quote. You're looking for a good working relationship that can endure through new cars or homes, fender benders, storm damage and much more.”
