The Insurance Companies We Work With
As an independent agency, we represent several insurance companies instead of just one, so we can compare coverage and price to find the right fit for you.
Companies we represent
We work with established regional and national insurers. Each has its own strengths, and part of our job is knowing which company is the best match for your home, vehicles, business or family.

What “independent agency” means for you
A captive agent represents a single insurance company and can only offer that company’s policies and prices. An independent agent represents several companies. That means:
- More options: We compare coverage and price across companies.

- Flexibility over time: If your needs change, we can often move your coverage without you starting over.
- An advocate: We help you through claims and questions with the insurance company.
Coverage from these companies
Between them, the companies we represent offer coverage for nearly every need:
