Our Team
Meet your local insurance experts.
Outstanding service starts with an outstanding team. Meet the professionals behind Homer Insurance Center.
Homer Insurance Center is a locally and family-owned, independent agency. We opened our doors in 1992 with Clay and Joan Ellington as owners. Our agency has grown every year and in 2006, the Ellingtons’ daughter, Stephanie, joined the HIC team and is now part-owner with Clay and Joan.
We have always felt that there are several important things that make an agency successful:
- Our clients are our assets, and each and Every One is important to us.
- Happy employees are key.
- Supporting the community. We especially enjoy supporting children’s activities; they are the future!
We want our clients to get the best products possible for the best price and we educate our employees to focus on honesty and integrity when dealing with our clients.
Our entire team enjoys creating a fun and helpful office atmosphere that we strive to make inviting for our clientele.
