“The best thing about what we do is that customers have a local agent but can have sensible pricing with a national brand,” Ashley said. “We are a local agency but the only local GEICO office in Maine.”
As a resident of Raymond, Ashley said she understands the insurance needs of those living in the Lakes Region.
“We are very competitive for our products,” she said. “While we exclusively sell GEICO Auto policies, our property policies are sold through A rated (and higher) partners that allow us the ability to have multiple options to fit the clients need while still being able to ‘bundle’ these policies to offer a multi-line discount.”
In business for six years and with three employees, Ashley’s office is licensed in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont and specializes in home and auto insurance with the backing of GEICO, one of the largest insurance providers nationally.
“GEICO was established in 1936. It stands for GEICO Employees Insurance Company,” Ashley said. “While we initially targeted government and military personnel, we now provide service for everyone. GEICO insures over 28 million vehicles in all 50 States and D.C. We still offer special pricing for Active Duty/Retired Military and Federal/Local government employees.”
She began her career as a Sales and Service Agent for GEICO in 2013 at a local office in Virginia. In January 2018, she was an office manager and helped open another GEICO Local Office in Virginia.
“Later that year, GEICO posted a list of new places they were opening offices and Portland made the list,” Ashley said. “I was selected as the candidate for this location not only due to my sales and management experience but my love for Maine. I first fell in love with the state in 2007 and after a few more trips here, I knew I wanted to make it my home. In addition to my experience with GEICO, I previously had been an Office Manager for a construction company, a manager at Chick-fil-a, and worked at L.L. Bean in Virginia.”
In addition to holding a Property & Casualty License, Ashley and her team go through extensive GEICO training that includes ongoing weekly classes and seminars so that they can offer the best products and service to our clients. The agency has a 4.6 Stars rating on Google and 5 Stars on Yelp.
According to Ashley, her agency helps customers understand the value they receive for their coverage and takes the time to explain how the insurance they purchase protects them against financial losses from unexpected events.
And as a local business owner, Ashley said she feels it is important to give back to the community by supporting local charities and getting involved in events, activities and organizations which benefit the community.
“We want everyone to know they can still support the local community using a local agent while getting a competitive rate with a national brand,” she said. “My agency sponsors many local organizations including local children's sports teams, STRIVE, University of Southern Maine Athletic Program, CPL Mark Goyet Memorial Foundation, The Summit Project, MidCoast Humane Society, and Sweetser.”
Online reviews for Ashley and her team are exceptional.
“Cannot say enough about having a local insurance office, where you can actually walk into and get answers and help. Yes, you can get the quote, get the policy, pay for the coverage, but you can do it in person! It takes all the frustration and anonymity out of getting online low coverage. The agents are even nice, which is a definite bonus.” Ryan A.
“Ashley and her team are beyond amazing. They're dedicated to their customers. When Ashley was working with me, I felt like I was her only customer. The dedication and professionalism are unmatched.” Chelsey P.
“Excellent customer service from Ryan and Ashley! Walked out in an hour with new car/homeowners insurance. Ryan has definitely been in the business awhile. He understands your needs and will get you an excellent rate. I saved over $60 a month on just my car insurance alone. Highly recommend Ryan and will be working with him for many years to come.” James B.
