Growing up in the 70’s I was addicted to Bonanza, The Big Valley & The Lone Ranger. I fancied myself a cowboy. A Massachusetts cowboy.
Completing my front nine, 43 years later, Idid not become a cowboy.
Instead, I became something better: a Massachusetts independent insurance agency owner!
Two years ago “managed competion” auto insurance entered the state of Massachusetts. It’s been just like the Wild West of my childhood imagination.
First, companies gave out appointments to agencies. Next, they lowered rates & offered additional discounts & broader insurance programs. More companies entered the state including: Allstate, Progressive & Geico.

As an independent agent, writing with many different companies, competition allows us to flex our rating muscles — or quick draw our six shooter.
