The questions people ask before they call.
No. Pro Insurance Group charges no agency fees, and carrier rates are filed with the state, so the premium is the same whether you buy direct or through us. The difference is that we can put your risk in front of more than 20 carriers instead of one.
Licensed advisors on our team. Commercial guides are written by Neal Fusco, VP of Commercial Lines, who has 25 years across both the carrier and agency sides. Personal lines guides are written by Dave Rysavy, VP of Personal Lines. Every guide is reviewed before it publishes.
They are ranges, not quotes. We publish what we see across the carriers we place business with, broken out by business profile or risk factors so you can find the row that looks like you. Your actual premium depends on your specific exposure, claims history, and location.
A few minutes to start. You give us the basics, an advisor shops your risk across our carrier panel, and you get options with the reasoning behind each one. There is no obligation and no fee to see what is available.
Independent. Local. No agency fees.
You have done the homework. Now let a local advisor shop 20+ top-rated carriers and find your right coverage at the right price. It takes a few minutes and there is no obligation.
