“Although we have expanded in recent years, we continue to operate like a small, family insurance agency. We don’t outsource customer service. All customer service is done in-house by our team members. This is key to us maintaining personal relationships with our customers. This makes us a unique option for owners looking to retire but want to make sure their customers and employees continue to enjoy personal relationships that have been in place for many years,” said Marc Duffy.
