Get the Right Coverage from an Insurance Agency who Understands Your Exposures

Most people are buying the wrong insurance coverage and overpaying for it. As an Independent Insurance Agency, we will shop your coverage with numerous top-rated insurers, virtually guaranteeing you get the most competitive rates available with broad coverage terms.

Get Coverage

Evaluate Exposures

Before you buy insurance, it’s important to properly evaluate your risks, so you will know what type of coverage is needed. Using our expertise and resources as a guide, we will uncover your true exposures and learn how to resolve them. If you skip this step, you’re likely to buy the wrong coverage and overpay.

APPLY FOR COVERAGE

Once your unique exposures are discovered, shopping coverage with our top-rated insurance carriers is super easy. On your behalf, our team will negotiate the most competitive coverage and rates available. All insurance policies are NOT created equal, so it’s critical that we match your exposures and budget to the right coverage.

START COVERAGE

Now that you’ve found the best coverage and rates for your needs, upon your request, we will issue the new policies and begin coverage. While many agents are still using fax machines and ink signatures, our issuance process is painless and fully electronic. This is not a stagnant “set you up and forget you.” We will develop an ongoing relationship with you and continuously monitor and review changes to your exposures over time in order to keep you adequately protected.

insurance quote testimonial

We have been a client of Bry Shields for many years and I recommend him without hesitation. I use Bry for all my insurance needs, both business and personal, and he makes it really easy and cost effective. He provided me with very detailed quotes and options to fit our specific needs and was extremely thorough when reviewing them with me. Bry is a terrific agent who always keeps us apprised of what actions need to be taken and how he can help us save money, and still get the coverage we need. He is also very mindful of customer service and is a pleasure to work with frequently. I would recommend him highly!

Client Testimonial 1

We have really enjoyed our time working with Bry Shields. He is quick to answer questions in real time and is professional. From a work perspective, we have several moving parts in our medical practice that require multiple areas of coverage and Bry has always been good to point out available options and give his advice. On a personal level, he takes care of all of my home, auto, and insurance needs and has won my family over with his ability to make us feel comfortable with our coverage/security moving forward. We would recommend him to anyone looking for personalized, high-quality care for their work or individual needs.

Bry Shields

FOUNDER / AGENT


Bry spent eight years working as an Agent at a large, regional agency in Mobile, AL. This agency experience, including some involvement with changes to automation and efficiency through the evolution of industry technology, prepared him well for the launch of his own agency in 2017.
Bry works with commercial and personal lines clients of all types, but his primary commercial niches include Real Estate, Healthcare, Construction, Restaurants and Retail.
He has written over $20M in aggregate premiums, consisting of more than 350 different clients and has also been involved in the claims process for many of these, including one major settlement involving Wrongful Death totaling $1.6M.
Bry's experience during these claims was the edipus for the creation of his agency's 3-step process to ensure proper coverage and avoid "surprises" on the back-side of his client's purchases. As a fellow business owner and real estate investor, Bry understands your needs and has drafted the agency processes to exceed your expectations.

Tyler Jones

AGENT

Tyler was a Claims Rep at Auto-Owners Insurance Company for four years. During his tenure, Tyler paid out over $10M worth of claims for hundreds of policyholders and claimants. This experience was invaluable for his bridge over to the agency side.
As a licensed Property & Casualty agent and after years of paying out claims (and also denying them!), Tyler is well-equipped to fill the gaps in any insurance program for commercial and personal lines clients alike.
He also is one of the best Agents you can have on your side during the unfortunate event of filing an insurance claim!
