Best of the Best

Smith Insurance Group in Allen Park is a family-owned insurance agency with a rich legacy of providing exceptional coverage and personalized service in the Metro Detroit area and a mission to do what it takes to bring quality, affordable and comprehensive coverage to the local communities it serves.

Since its conception in 1903, the agency has experienced some changes, like moving locations and being renamed, but one thing has remained constant – its commitment to the people it serves.

With 122 years in service, Smith Insurance Group is one of the oldest operating insurance agencies in the state of Michigan and has built lasting relationships with its clients and the community over the years.

“We try to give more than we take,” said fourth-generation owner and current president Dan Smith, reflecting some of the agency’s core values.

Smith Insurance Group is committed to supporting the local community by getting involved with outreach programs and sponsoring local sports teams, church organizations and more.

“I try to help out as much as I can to give back to the community that’s given so much to us,” Smith said.

Smith is an Allen Park resident who graduated from Cabrini High School and is currently raising his own family in the city.

“When clients do business with us, they’re not only doing business with a small local business, but they’re also keeping their money right here in their community,” Smith said.

Dedicated to its clients, Smith Insurance Group provides a wide range of top-tier insurance carriers with licensed agents that are equipped to provide tailored coverage to meet every need.

With property rates on the rise, Smith said it’s never been more important for people to use an independent insurance agent, dispelling the common misconception that people think it costs money to use an independent agent. Smith Insurance Group does not charge a fee to use their services.

Smith Insurance Group offers everything from auto, home and life insurance to more specialized products like rental homes, boats and motorcycles. For businesses, the independent agency provides general liability, commercial auto and workers compensation just to name a few.

The wide range of insurance services allows the agency to provide every client with personalized protection.

With over a century in service and more to come, Smith Insurance Group’s longevity is a testament to its ability to evolve with the times and stay true to its roots of trust, integrity and service.

Today, the agency continues to focus on delivering personalized, client-first insurance solutions while maintaining strong community connections.

With these connections, the agency has become a Downriver staple and has been voted the News Herald’s Best of the Best Insurance Agency for the past four years in a row, with the continued goal of becoming the most referred agency in Michigan.
