Coastal South Carolina -  --  Some consumers buy insurance online or over the phone. Some prefer the personal attention they receive from a licensed agent who can help identify insurance options. Yet others like the confidence they get from dealing with an independent agent who represents more than one insurance carrier and provides more insurance choices.

Statewide Insurance Group, Inc. is an independent agency with offices in Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Charleston, Beaufort, and Columbia. And now it offers one more choice for consumers: It has recently been appointed to sell Universal Insurance homeowners insurance. Universal Insurance, sold exclusively through independent agents, is part of the Universal group of companies and recognized as a leading property writer in South Carolina.

“We're pleased to have Universal Insurance as part of our lineup,” said Tim Baxley, President. “It's a solid company that offers quality products and services that can help protect consumers here along the coast in the event of a loss.  We believe strongly that when insurance companies compete, consumers get the best rates. By adding Universal North America to our offerings, we are reaffirming our commitment to consumers by providing even more homeowner insurance choices.”

Tim Baxley and his staff are available to meet with individuals and families to review existing insurance policies and help each customer choose coverage that helps meet his or her individual needs. The agency has full-service coastal offices in Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Charleston, and Beaufort, as well as an inland office in Columbia, SC.

The agency's office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Saturday and evening hours are available by appointment. Call 843-235-5000 for more information or to receive a free personalized quote.
