Insurance is, at its core, a deeply personal business. The concerns that you trust your agent with, they’re not just numbers in a book somewhere. This is your family’s future, your personal wellbeing, and the security of everything you hold dear. Anyone you work with who intends to protect those concerns should understand that.
That’s why it’s odd that insurance is so often presented as the province of a mammoth, faceless corporation. You can go to any website and track down rates from the same companies you see sponsoring every other ad on TV, but you never get a feel for who they are, and how they operate.
Meet the Team: Kate Boardman, Tyler Boardman, Bailey Noonan, Ray Craver and Alysa Weiner
So, when you see that Acrisure has come to town, you might mistakenly assume it’s just another corporation. But then you step inside the office and you get a familiar sense, like you’ve been here before – like these are people who have been here for years.
And then an adorable rescue dog comes to greet you if you happen to come into the office on a Wednesday. This week’s dog belonged to Ray Craver, who has been living in our community and helping your neighbors with their insurance needs since 1981. Each week, a different four-legged employee (one of many who staff members have adopted) come in to help the team to include Craver, Kate Boardman, Bailey Noonan, Tyler Boardman, Alysa Weiner and Cheri Patterson.These are the people you’ve known for years. But didn’t they all used to work for Seacoast Insurance?
“The name change is finally official; we’re no longer Seacoast,” Craver said. “We merged with Acrisure in 2020 and have now adapted the Acrisure name. The same people you’ve been working with forever are still here. It’s the same people, the same products, and the same service.”
Being under the Acrisure umbrella just adds the power of a large insurance enterprise to the hyperlocal focus that Craver and his team have made their hallmark for years. Through Acrisure, they are able to offer an expansive suite of services for businesses and individuals that meets a wide range of needs. Beyond insurance coverage and reinsurance services, clients can take advantage of employee benefit services and cybersecurity.
All of it is underscored by the company’s commitment to leveraging the latest technology. Their acquisition of Pittsburgh-based Tulco Labs led to the development of Altway, an insurance platform that delivers deep data analytics and personalized solutions powered by AI.
But that’s just what’s under the hood. What will greet you at the door, beside a dog’s wagging tail, is a local crew who have demonstrated a longstanding commitment to this community.
“For many years we all have taken part in volunteering for the service of this community, giving back through our time, donations, or serving on nonprofit boards,” Craver said. “We love this community. We love where we live and we love what we do.”
And no matter what name is on the sign, that same dedication has been serving this community since 1981. See what they can do for you by calling (843) 681-4340, visiting acrisure.com/southeast, or stopping by their new office in the South State Bank building, 100 Exchange Street, Suite 101.
