Duffy Insurance Expands Presence with Latest Acquisition in Lexington

September 14, 2025 by AC Editor


Duffy Insurance Agencies is proud to announce the acquisition of Sartori Insurance, a trusted, family-run agency that has served the Lexington community for over 50 years. This strategic partnership marks another step in Duffy Insurance’s commitment to expanding its footprint while preserving the personalized service and deep community ties that define its approach.

Marc Duffy, President of Duffy Insurance Agencies, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We’re honored to welcome Sartori Insurance into the Duffy family. The Sartoris have built something truly special—an agency rooted in trust, service, and community. Our goal is to carry that legacy forward while offering enhanced support and expanded solutions to their clients. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to thoughtful growth and relationship-driven
service.”

Founded by the Sartori family, the agency has built a legacy of integrity, care, and long-standing relationships. “This community has been our home and our extended family for more than five decades,” said Steve Sartori, of Sartori Insurance. “We are grateful for the trust our clients have placed in us over the years. By joining Duffy Insurance Agencies, we know our clients will continue to receive the same care and attention they expect, with the added benefit of expanded resources and services.”

“This is an exciting new chapter for our agency,” added Phil Sartori. “For over 50 years, we’ve been honored to serve the Lexington community. Partnering with the Duffy Agency ensures that our clients will continue to receive the same personal attention they know and trust—while also benefiting from the additional strength and resources of a larger family of agencies.”

The Sartori team will continue to operate from their Lexington office, ensuring continuity for clients and a seamless transition. Duffy Insurance Agencies remains focused on delivering exceptional service across its growing network, with a strong emphasis on local expertise and personalized care.
