Insurance Agency Listings – December 2013 Edition

Springtree Group is pleased to present the December 2013 insurance agency listings for independent brokers and agents. National activity for the year has been average to good. The seller’s market for independent agencies was prevalent all year, as was the buyer’s market in the captive arena. The firming of P&C pricing in most sectors caused selling multiples to lift in anticipation.

In our view, 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 to which only the client has access. STG provides clients additional tools to access the 90 percent of the sellers that are not openly and publicly communicating their intention to sell.

The listings below are a small sample of some of the new independents discovered through our research or provided to us during the last 30 days. Our clients have access to previous month’s listings upon request.
