Duffy Insurance Acquires Waverley Insurance Agency

November 17, 2025 by AC Editor


Waverley Insurance Has Served the Belmont Area for Over 70 Years

Duffy Insurance has completed the acquisition of Waverley Insurance Agency of Belmont, Massachusetts. The transaction, completed in October 2025, brings the 70+ year, family-run Waverley Agency into the Duffy Insurance family while preserving the personalized, multigenerational service Waverley clients have relied on for generations.

In commenting on the sale of his agency, Jim King, President of Waverley Insurance, said the following:

“We are honored to have been the trusted source of information and clarity by our clients for over 70 years. We value the confidence our clients have shown in us and our long-term relationships with them. Many of our current clients are the sons and daughters of our original clients. By joining Duffy Insurance Agencies, we know our clients will continue to receive the same care and an attention they have come to expect with the added benefit of an even greater level of support, resources and services. This is an exciting new chapter for Waverley Insurance Agency and will continue the tradition of delivering personalized customer service with the additional strength and resources of a larger family of agencies.”

“We’re honored to welcome Waverley Insurance into The Duffy Family of Insurance Agencies. Jim and his team have been a trusted source of clarity and care for Belmont families and businesses for decades. We will continue to preserve the personal attention clients expect while layering in broader commercial expertise, deeper carrier relationships, and the operational resources that help clients move forward with confidence,” said Marc Dufy, President of Duffy
Insurance Agency.
