Independent Insurance Agencies for Sale – May 2013 Edition

Welcome to the May 2013 edition of the Insurance Agent and Broker Sales Alerts. Activity for this time of year is average and increasing.

The listings below represent a small sample of some of the new independent agencies and brokerages currently for sale. For more information or to request a complete list of buying opportunities, please call Springtree Group at (972) 395-8811.

Direct access to sellers is difficult because sellers open exposure of their desire to sell can be a concern due to the impact this information could have on insurance carriers (markets), employees, clients and the competition.

The most effective tactic in acquisition target development is a multi-level and joint endeavor, using the national approach that STG provides in concert with the “boots on the ground” local market intelligence that only the client has access to.
