About R.W. Garrett Agency, Inc.
Our Agents
All our employees who work with customers are required to become licensed insurance producers. Our team has to wear many hats and are trained to respond to inquires from the brokers we work with, the insurance companies we do business with, business owners, plan administration and employees of our customers.
Our Service Area
Because we are head quartered in our small community, it might be perceived that we work in a smaller geographical area. Quite the contrary. While we service many customers in Logan County, our central location allows us to represent about 2500 individual clients and employer groups throughout the state and surrounding states.
