About BWO Insurance:

Our journey as an agency began back in 1985 with one goal in mind: provide the best insurance protection with a high degree of professionalism. Of course, back then, things were a bit different•we had a much smaller office and a different sign on the door. Despite changes over the years, our focus is still our clients, and making them feel like part of the BWO family.

From our decades of experience, we have found a lot of truth in the old cliché•actions speak louder than words. Just ask our clients, our team members, and our carriers. Because it's not how we treat a certain group that makes us who we are•it's how we treat each and every individual we interact with. It's how we approach business as a partnership and not a one-sided transaction. It's how we hire based on character and not resume entries. We're all a part of this extended family that we started when we opened in 1985.
