At the Starke Agency, we’re more than just an intermediary for insurance carriers – we’re your partner in protection. Since our founding in 1929, our mission has been simple: to help individuals, families, and businesses safeguard what matters most with tailored coverage and trusted guidance.
We offer a full range of insurance solutions:
Personal Insurance
From your home to your car – and everything in between – we offer protection designed to give you peace of mind. Whether you’re buying a nice piece of jewelry or looking to update your policies, we’re here to make sure you’re covered for life’s everyday risks.
The producer associated with our Personal Lines department is Charlie Harris. He is the Executive Vice President and has been with the Starke Agency for 31 years.
Commercial Insurance
Businesses face unique challenges, and we’re here to make sure insurance isn’t one of them. From small startups to established companies, we provide policies that protect your operations, employees, and assets – so you can focus on growth, not risk. The main lines of business we focus on are as follows: general liability, property, professional liability, commercial umbrella and auto, workers compensation, and much more.
There are a handful of producers associated with this department: Kyle Drumwright, Andy Flowers, Austin Gaines, Walter Dowdy, and Griffin McNeill. Kyle is our President, Andy and Austin are both Agency Principals, Walter is the Director of Surety & Construction, and Griffin is the Vice President of the Auburn branch.
Life/Health/Benefits
Your well-being and your employees’ health matters. We offer comprehensive life and health insurance options, as well as benefits packages designed to help you care for the people who matter most.
William Van Hooser, an additional Agency Principal, is the producer who works with these lines of business.
Bond Insurance
From construction bonds to license and permit bonds, we help businesses and contractors meet legal requirements and build trust with clients through reliable bond solutions.
Walter Dowdy and Kyle Drumwright are the main producers of this department. As you can tell, all of our producers dabble in a little bit of everything
