Who is the Charleston Insurance Lady?

Like many of us in the insurance industry, I did not set out to start a career in insurance. But, in 2016, as a recent college graduate, I took a chance on a part time position at Mappus Insurance Agency. The job was supposed to be focused on social media and marketing. I soon began assisting the agents in quoting policies and putting together proposals for clients. It didn’t take me long to realize that I really enjoyed talking with people, helping them with the insurance piece of their home purchase, and educating them on what they were buying. I found that many people simply bought the cheapest policy, but I sought to provide true value in talking through the various policy options so that the insured can find the policy that best suits their needs and objectives.

As I began to strategize about how I could make the biggest impact in my industry, it became obvious that I should start with the insureds that are just like me. Young professionals buying their first homes. I have always loved working with first time home buyers because it gives me the opportunity to help them understand how the policies work and how this major asset they are purchasing will be protected. Over time, many of my first time home buyers have grown to become second, third, and fourth time home buyers. Many have gone on to purchase investment properties and second homes as well. As cheesy as it may sound, when they grow, it feels like I’m getting to grow with them.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to help over 1000 families insure their homes in Charleston. Reach out to me here to see if I can help you with your insurance needs too!
