Balance
One of Brown & Brown's guiding principles is the concept of Strength Through Balance, a philosophy where we believe that truthful consultation, accountability and outstanding customer service develop a bond of trust and promote long-term relationships. Brown & Brown strives to match clients with the most economical as well as the best practical solutions for services that they or their company require.
Brown & Brown has strategically aligned itself with more than 200 of the highest quality financial institutions and insurance carriers in the nation. "There are many agencies out there who simply quote prices," said John J. LoVasco, vice president. "It is difficult for a client to accurately evaluate them among dozens of other service providers. At Brown & Brown, we go beyond pricing. We invite clients to challenge us with their specific needs, and to visit us personally to evaluate our specialties."
Brown & Brown representatives are members of advisory councils for M-Financial Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Delta Dental Plan, Health Alliance Plan, Cofinity, Citizens Insurance Company of America and CNA Insurance Companies.
