National Scope, Personal Focus
To some people, insurance might just be little more than a piece of paper kept in a safe somewhere. But to high-net-worth individuals, those who know that acquiring the good life and protecting the good life are two very different tasks, insurance is crucial—not just being insured, but having the correct insurance.
As an experienced insurance broker with more than 30 years’ experience protecting the assets of clients across the country, Robert Kerdasha knows all too well how important it is to find the insurance that works for you. He’s seen high-net-worth individuals fail to secure their valuable assets due to ill-fitting coverage and has made it his mission to see these assets protected.
His is a proactive approach, one that has proven successful with more than 1,500 clients from the tranquil Lowcountry of the southeast to the rocky peaks of Big Sky country and everywhere in between. Backing up that approach is a wealth of tools and resources available to him through AssuredPartners.
Having received his Certified Advisor of Personal Insurance (CAPI) designation from the Aresty Institute of Executive Education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Chubb Personal Insurance, Kerdasha is well-versed in the intricacies of insurance. Furthermore, he can leverage three decades worth of industry connections to serve his clients like few others can.
Yet with this national reach comes a truly personal approach, one borne of a personal dedication to protecting each of his clients and their assets.

Coming from a family that owned a large insurance agency, Scott Callen found it natural to continue that legacy on Hilton Head Island when he moved here in 2002. After developing a large client base, he had a vision to start his own agency with experienced people who wanted to provide a level of service that was personal from start to finish. Now entering its eighth year, Callen Insurance Services, has become a full-service agency for insurance including residential and commercial property & casualty, life, health, and annuities.
Callen grew the agency one client and one agent at a time, and Callen Insurance Services now has eight experienced/licensed agents with clients throughout Beaufort County and the upstate.
“We are grateful that our clients not only trust us with their home, auto and flood insurance but many now look to us for health insurance and to insure their businesses,” Callen said. “We have assisted many clients with the transition from second-home owner to full-time resident. And with Hilton Head being such a close community, we have been fortunate to interact with our clients on a more personal level through local activities, charities, and town events.”
Callen Insurance Services is a fiercely independent agency, working with many carriers to provide a comprehensive approach to your insurance program, while keeping an eye on quality and pricing.

Premier Insurance Advisors
There is one word missing from Premier Insurance Advisors’ sign—but please know that it is very much by design. You will not hear the firm referred to anywhere as an insurance “agency,” for one simple reason. Insurance agents work for insurance companies. Premier Insurance Advisors does things a little differently.
“We’re advisors first. As an agent, you are representing the company,” said Brian Knapp, one of the founders of this unique new idea in insurance. “We believe we’re the counterpoint.”
Part of being that counterpoint lies in being able to offer something most large corporate insurance agencies cannot: truly personalized coverages and services. As a brokerage firm, they enjoy access to hundreds of different products, giving Premier Insurance Advisors the ability to completely tailor coverage to the needs and risks of clients across the Lowcountry, whether personal or business. Informing that personalization is a collective forty-six plus years of experience between the firm’s founders, Kevin Regan and Brian Knapp.
The founders strongly believe in one philosophy: “We want to educate the client, so when they walk out of here, they know exactly what they have, what they’re protecting and why they’re protecting it,” Knapp said. “We’re not an agency that is going to look at your existing policy and copy that. We’re going to look at it, dissect it, find any holes in it, and educate you.”
Originally from Long Island, Regan also ran a large agency, but spent enough time in corporate insurance to realize there were limitations on what he was permitted to do for his clients. “One of the driving factors that took us out of the corporate world is that the corporate world does not focus on the client,” he said. “They do not want to have that hands-on experience with the client, which we feel is important.”
Instead, Regan thrives on the way Premier Insurance Advisors puts an emphasis on direct consultation, where it is not unheard of for one of the founders to lay down complete coverage options and explain each right at a client’s kitchen table. “It’s the experience like our parents had with their insurance agent where they sat down and talked about things, not just put a piece of paper in front of you,” he said.
Knapp has compiled over a decade of experience in commercial lines insurance, something that he believes also sets Premier apart from other insurance options. “You can’t be everything to everyone, and you can’t be a Jack of all trades and be the best at what you do,” he said. “An educated consumer is our best client. What we follow in our practice is to be the best at what you focus on.”
Likewise, since combining their experience, insight, and passion for helping clients, the founders of Premier Insurance Advisors have allowed themselves to be the best at what they focus on: delivering a customer-focused experience and personalized insurance with a human touch.
Premier Insurance Advisors is located at 800 Main Street, Suite 201N, Hilton Head Island. For more information, visit premierinshhi.com or call (843) 689-5300.
