Why choose an independent agent?

It does make a difference where you buy insurance.

Many people think it doesn’t matter where you purchase your insurance—but that’s simply not true. The agency you choose can have a big impact on your price, service, and overall coverage value.

At Smith & Thomas Insurance, we believe that insurance isn’t just a policy—it’s a safety net for your family, your home, your car, or your business. And who you trust to help protect those things matters.

We offer what other’s cant: Choice.

When you work with a direct or captive insurance agent, you’re limited to just one company’s policies. But as an independent insurance agency, Smith & Thomas can offer you coverage options from multiple top-rated carriers.

That means more flexibility, more competitive pricing, and coverage tailored to your needs—not someone else’s.
