Why Choose Independent Insurance Agents

The biggest advantage of working with an independent agency is choice. Instead of being limited to one company's rates and policies, we can compare options across multiple carriers to find your best deal.

If your current carrier raises rates or denies a claim unfairly, we can move you to a different company without you having to start over with a new agent. That's the power of independence – your agent works for you, not the insurance company.

My Husband and I have an AirBnb business. We had been dropped from our previous provider without a claim. Ty put us in touch with an agent who had AirBnb's of her own and understood our situation. We got excellent coverage and even made a new friend!
