Why clients choose to work with us
We believe personalized service still matters because you do.
Insurance can be confusing, but you don't have to navigate it by yourself. We want to understand your needs and guide you with answers that make it feel easy.
We do things differently because you deserve a team that picks up when you call, explains things clearly and stays in it with you. Working with efficiency and care to take care of you, before and after your signature dries.
If you have a question, you get a real person with an answer. When things change, we help you adjust, and when life gets messy, we show up and walk through it with you.
When you work with us, you can trust that we’ll put your best interests first.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU IS BETTER SERVICE, BETTER VALUE & BETTER CHOICE
The women behind the Whorton name
The Whorton name has always held more weight for the women who bear it than the business itself.
To be a part of this family means having a stubborn streak a mile wide and a heart of gold underneath. To give of your time and energy freely. To act boldly and unafraid. To love deeply.
To strive for excellence and expect those around you to do the same. To rely on faith in all seasons and to weather unimaginable storms.
Linda, the matriarch, has dedicated her life to education and motherhood, always finding the impossible balance between living for herself and for her family.
And while Abigail followed in her father's footsteps, Emily, her younger sister, chose to follow their mother into the classroom, where her passion for teaching and her purpose in building young minds flourishes.
Three women, each carrying the Whorton name in her own way, still honoring the husband and father they loved with every step they take.
Who you'll be working with
We hire people who care, and then, we teach them insurance. Our team is here to build real relationships with the clients we serve. When you need us, you can expect clear answers, steady guidance and service you can trust, always.
