Our Story
Pro Insurance Group was founded in 2017 by Chris Bakes, who came to insurance from the auto claims side after starting Nationwide Appraisals. The idea was simple. Chris had built deep carrier relationships and real expertise in how the market works, and he wanted to put that to work for his own community, helping local families and businesses cut through a confusing market and land on the right coverage at the right price.
That mission still drives us. As an independent agency, we are not tied to any single company. We partner with a wide network of top-rated carriers, which lets us shop your coverage across the market and match you to the carrier that fits your situation best, rather than fitting you into one company's pricing.
We do not just sell policies. We build relationships. Our advisors stay connected long after coverage is placed, helping with policy reviews, claims questions, renewals, and updates as your life and business change. When you work with Pro Insurance Group, you gain a dependable partner committed to protecting what matters most to you.
What Makes Us Different
A few things you will not find at most agencies.
We Never Charge Agency Fees
Many agencies tack on a broker or service fee. We do not, ever. You pay your premium, nothing more, so every dollar goes toward coverage.
We Re-Shop Every Renewal
Every year, we take your policy back out to the market to confirm you are still in the right place on coverage and price, so your rate never quietly drifts up.
Truly Independent
With 20+ top-rated carriers, we work for you, not for one company. Market competition works in your favor on every quote and every renewal.
Rooted In The Community
We live here too. Our team coaches youth sports and supports charitable events across the communities we serve. Your neighbors are our clients.
