About

Hi, We’re BFI!

We’re a local, family & Veteran owned Independent Insurance Agency with direct contracts with over 30+ carriers to find the right coverage at the best price to suit your unique insurance needs.

We find the carrier that wants your business – we do the shopping for you (we’re like the Priceline of insurance). They all have different appetites, so we match up their niche with your needs! Our Senior Advisors have Claims Backgrounds so have seen it all, and will tell you exactly why you do or don’t need a coverage – its an educational process. That’s why our Mission at BFI is “Loving the Community through Protection & Education

Why do business with Bailey Family Insurance?

Unlike a captive, or direct insurance company who only offers their own proprietary products, our agency is 100% independent of any one company. Many insurance consumers don’t fully understand just how important that really is.

When it comes to something as important as insurance, it’s imperative that you work with an agency who has an in-depth knowledge of multiple insurance products, companies, and guidelines — not just one.

At the end of the day, what separates one agent from another, is their ability to proactively service their policy holders, and their knowledge of the insurance industry, products, and different situations that may present themselves to their clients.
