An Independent Insurance Agency for the Northwest Twin Cities


We're a veteran-owned independent agency based in downtown Monticello. We compare carriers for businesses and families in the communities around us, with local, face-to-face service that a call center or a one-company agent can't offer.

Local Insurance Service Across Wright County and Beyond

Our office sits on East Broadway in Monticello, between the I-94 corridor and the Mississippi River. From there, we serve business owners and families across Wright County, Sherburne County, and the northwest Twin Cities. Commercial insurance is our primary focus, and we also handle home, auto, and the boats, snowmobiles, and fish houses that come with living here.

Communities We Serve From Our Monticello Office

Monticello, MN

Monticello is home. Our downtown office serves the retailers, contractors, service businesses, and property owners who keep the city running, and the families who spend their weekends on the river and nearby lakes. Learn more about working with our Monticello insurance agency team.

Elk River, MN

Elk River is the Sherburne County seat along Highways 10 and 169, with an active mix of industrial, contracting, and service businesses. We help Elk River employers with workers' comp, liability, commercial auto, and property coverage.

Buffalo, MN

Buffalo is the Wright County seat, with a downtown business district and lakes in and around town. We work with Buffalo's main street businesses and professional offices, and with families insuring lake homes and boats.

St. Michael, MN

St. Michael has grown quickly along I-94, with new neighborhoods and the builders who construct them. We help contractors with liability, workers' comp, and bonds, cover homes under construction with builder's risk, and insure new homeowners once they move in.

Albertville, MN

Albertville's I-94 retail corridor makes it a hub for storefronts, restaurants, and service businesses. We help Albertville business owners with general liability, commercial property, business interruption, and event coverage.

Rogers, MN

Rogers sits at I-94 and Highway 101 in Hennepin County, with industrial, distribution, and commercial development. We help Rogers businesses coordinate workers' comp, commercial auto, and property coverage so the policies fit together.

Ham Lake and the Anoka County Area

Clients in Ham Lake and the surrounding Anoka County area can meet with us at our Ham Lake satellite office. Meetings there are by appointment only, so please contact us first to schedule a time.
