About the company

Varney Agency arranges business and personal insurance for companies, individuals and families, matching coverage to their risks rather than selling a single insurer's policies. Its commercial practice covers property and liability exposures, employee benefits and surety bonds, while personal agents handle protection for homes, vehicles, health and life. Alongside direct client work, its wholesale operation gives other insurance agencies access to specialty coverage and programs for risks that need a more tailored approach. The agency advises clients on coverage and places insurance with carriers as an independent broker. Founded in 1980, Varney Agency is headquartered in Bangor, Maine.

What believers are saying
