Look at a successful NFL franchise. When a player is traded he doesn’t come in as a rookie. Teams of experienced players are assembled to win championships. That is what we have done at Mentor Insurance. Mentor Insurance was formed in 2017 by assembling a high quality team with over 60 years of industry knowledge.

With insurance industry consolidation swallowing up local independent agencies, we saw a need for a full service commercial and personal insurance agency in Madison county. Eric Rich, a successful insurance veteran, decided the time was right to assemble a highly experienced team to properly serve the local, regional, and national market.

Mentor Insurance is focused on all aspects of commercial and personal insurance. In a time when a lot of agencies are consolidating customer service to a non-personalized call center Mentor Insurance is increasing the personal customer service. Mentor Insurance gives its clients, large and small, access to a full range of high quality insurance carriers while truly focusing on the client experience. The high level of insurance and risk management knowledge coupled with a deliberate local approach to client service is what makes Mentor Insurance different.

What is an Independent Insurance Agent?

When you decide to buy a car, you wouldn't purchase the first one you see. What if one day the automobile industry decided to make only one type of car, one make and one model. You wouldn't have a choice!

The same situation holds true for insurance. You need insurance to drive a car, to purchase a house, to protect your family's financial future and to run a small business. But if there was only one insurance company that offered only one type of insurance, you wouldn't have a choice. The only solution would be going to that one company.

With an independent insurance agent, you have choices. Independent agents are not tied to any one insurance company. One of the advantages of using an independent agent is that he or she works to satisfy your needs. You are using an expert for an important financial decision.

An independent agent has several companies that he or she can approach to get you the best coverage at the best price. And your independent agent will know the companies with the most efficient claims departments to recover your losses as quickly as possible.

When you buy insurance, you want an advocate who will properly assess the risks you face and give you an objective analysis of the marketplace, because it's up to you to make the final choice.
