A couple of years ago, my insurance rate shot up over 10% with little or no notice! I called Gordon at EPB and right away, he found an insurance company that not only saved me money on my home and car insurance, but also offered me better coverage! I enjoy working with Gordon because he is professional, accountable, and above all, he is honest (he'll even tell you if his rates are not the best rates).

In fact, the entire team at EPB is awesome! They are always there to answer my questions and send me a new insurance card right away if needed (I seem to lose them every other month). Since switching to EPB, I have been enticed to go back to my prior insurance company with offers of great savings. However, I am staying with Gordon and EPB because they are the best in their business! You can't find a more trusting insurance company and agent! Thank you, EPB!

I switched to EP&B from another insurance broker a few years ago for my commercial insurance. I own a non-traditional small business and previously, my rates were skyrocketing. I switched to work with Gordon from EP&B and it has been on of the best decisions I have made for my business. EP&B has saved me thousands of dollars but also has provided an equivalent or even better coverage than my previous broker was able to attain.

Not only that, but whenever I've communicated with Gordon or others at EP&B because I needed to make changes or had questions, they have provided me with great service, communication and they get the changes done quickly and efficiently. You would be silly not to contact EP&B to see what they can do for you and your business.

I switched over to EP&B with the help of Gordon Brown III. He was very professional and did everything he could to make the transition easy. Our new policy is saving us a good amount each month. I would highly recommend using Gordon and EP&B to anybody looking for other insurance options!

I changed insurances about 2 years ago and am very impressed with EP&B and my agent Gordon Brown. Me Brown listened to my needs and made recommendations and now I have peace of mind and no worries. They found me a great deal on insurance. Thank you.

They are reliable and always provides the best options for you. I started looking into new providers for my car insurance and then later on finding house insurance.

I switched to EP&B Insurance with the help of Chris Markfort. Chris found an insurance provider that not only saved me money, but provided excellent service when I experienced storm damage at my house. I called in a claim on a Friday and someone was out Saturday to access the damage. I would highly recommend Chris and EP&B Insurance.
