SPECIALTY | Although the industry landscape has changed dramatically over the past few decades, one of the few constants is, and always will be, service. While there are certain things we can’t control – such as pricing/renewal increase, we can certainly control the service aspect and that is what we are most proud of. After price, it is the most important element in retaining business. The value we place on an agency relationship is unparalleled – with the goal of turning that relationship into a successful partnership. Michael embodies our slogan perfectly in his work, building relationships; delivering results.
