Real Help from Real People in Southern Illinois

We’re Your Neighbors, Not a Call Center

We’re an independent insurance agency based in Marion, IL, with a team of professionals who bring more than 60 years of combined experience to every conversation. When you reach out to us, you're talking to someone who lives in the same communities you do. We take the time to listen, explain your options, and help you choose coverage that fits your life.

Independent by Design

As an independent agency, we’re not tied to just one insurance company. That means we can compare policies from trusted carriers like Erie Insurance and others to help you find the right combination of coverage and cost. We work for you, not the carrier, and we think that’s how it should be.

Advisors Who Make Insurance Simple

We serve as your insurance advisor—helping you understand your risks, simplify the process, and make informed decisions. Whether you’re protecting your home, business, or future, our team brings skill, education, and real-world experience to guide you every step of the way.

We Make Insurance Simple

Most people don’t want to become insurance experts. They just want someone they trust to give them good information and real options. That’s what we do. We help you understand what’s covered, what’s not, and how to make smart decisions without getting buried in jargon.

What You Can Expect

Straight Answers, No Pressure

We keep it honest, clear, and low-key. You won’t get a sales pitch, just a real conversation.

Options That Fit Your Life

We quote from multiple carriers and explain the differences so you’re not left guessing.

Support When It Matters Most

From policy questions to claims support, you’ll get real help from a real person.
