About Strachan Novak

We don't sell insurance. We help you buy it better.

Since 1948 Strachan Novak Insurance understands that there are many options when it comes to purchasing insurance. We offer a full-range of personal, commercial, life and financial insurance products, as well as specialty products and coverage for hard-to-place exposures or commercial operations.

Our advantage as an independent insurance agent is the ability to offer our clients a choice of insurance products from among many insurance companies, securing proper coverage at the best price available in the market.

We are small enough to give our clients personal attention, yet large enough to offer the benefit of competitive rates from a vast array of high quality insurance companies.

The difference: It's about building relationships.

Strachan Novak Insurance Services is a third generation, family-owned agency. We take a consultative approach with our clients, making sure we ask the right questions. Are your policies written correctly? Are you using the full range of financial instruments to protect your wealth?

Each of our clients is served by a team of professionals, including principal-level staff and licensed insurance agents. Our phone is not automated. It is answered by a real person who is ready to help, whether it's to update your coverage or assist with a claim.

With coverage exclusions and complicated terms, buying insurance can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. We like to say that our number one product is service. Strachan Novak Insurance Services delivers economy, superior protection, and risk management assistance designed to reduce your losses and control your insurance costs.
