Zarah and the entire team at Kinghorn Insurance are very professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Zarah genuinely cares about her clients and pays attention to the details. While reviewing my home and car insurance policies (held by a competitor), Zarah discovered that my home was underinsured by more than $100,000! I was shocked to say the least, but so relieved that she caught the issue and brought it to my attention.
If you've made renovations, added a pool, or adopted a dog, you might consider sitting down with Zarach to review your homeowners policy. It's super important to be sure you have adequate coverage to protect your home for its full value. I'm thankful for Zarah's keen eye to detail and for her solid advice!

I have owned a large business in Beaufort SC for 12 years and from day one have had Kinghorn Insurance by my side. I own a restaurant and insurance that is dependable, reliable and to have an agent who knows the business, my employees and the owner is beyond comforting and truly helpful on so many occasions. During hurricanes Kinghorn was by my side a 100% of the way. A instant line of communication between my agent and myself every step through true disasters and this is priceless service and Kinghorn was there. Thank you Kinghorn and all that you do for my business, the community and the countless others who depend on you.
