Post Insurance Celebrates 30 Years in Port St. Lucie, FL
Port St. Lucie, FL, March 17, 2010 – Simple. Convenient. Budget-friendly. These aren’t words people often associate with insurance, but they are the very principles on which Post Insurance was founded—and the values they’ve delivered to the community for 30 years. As one of the longest-operating insurance agencies in St. Lucie County, Post Insurance is excited to mark this milestone with an Open House Celebration later this month, where they’ll be sharing some new and wonderful surprises with the community.
Owner and President Kathy Post grew up in the agency, learning the business from her father and agency founder, Bob Post. “We firmly believe,” she said, “that insurance is meant to restore lives. To do that, we don’t just sell insurance policies. We match your insurance with the peace of mind you’d want after a loss.” Today, Kathy and her sister Rebecca Post O’Brien proudly carry on the family legacy—still welcoming advice from their father.
Bob Post reflected on the agency’s beginnings, noting how the financial climate when Post Insurance first opened mirrors today’s conditions. “Back then, Port St. Lucie was a small, bedroom community and the construction and housing markets were booming,” he said. “Then, the recession of the 1980s hit, and we saw a near collapse of our local construction industry, which sent a ripple effect through the economy—just like we’re seeing again now.”
While other businesses have come and gone, Post Insurance has endured by learning to adapt. One way they’ve met changing customer needs is through effective use of technology. “Shopping for insurance isn’t fun,” said Kathy Post. “So we’ve made it easy. Customers can request quotes from our website, www.InsureWithPost.com. For auto insurance, we’ll shop our carriers—like Nationwide, Progressive, Safeco, Travelers, and The Hartford—at lightning speed. Most importantly, people still appreciate having a live, local person explain things in plain old English.”
Post emphasizes that it’s important to their customers to work with a local agent—not someone halfway around the world. To register for drawings or get maps and event info, visit www.InsureWithPost.com or call 772-878-8184.
Reflecting on 30 years of service, Kathy shared what still drives her every day. “I had a client whose home caught fire the day after Thanksgiving,” she recalled. “Helping her family—and others like them—get back on their feet is why we’re in this business.” That same dedication is behind their constant push to improve personal service. At press time, Post hinted that more exciting changes are on the way and will be shared publicly in the coming weeks.
The public is invited to join the celebration during Post Insurance’s 30th Anniversary Open House, running March 29th through April 1st. Festivities include prizes, refreshments, goodie bags for kids, and a public presentation to the Red Cross. For full details, visit their website.
