The sale

How it ran

Edward M. Polk Associates, an insurance agency in Corsicana, came to us 60 days before it closed in May 2026. It was sold to a strategic buyer, an insurance company, found through the same confidential process every company we represent goes through: a blind profile, buyers qualified before they learn the name, and more than one at the table where the company draws them.

What that buyer examined is what any buyer of insurance agencies examines — the factors below, in that order.

What decided the price

What buyers look at in an insurance agency

Retention

The percentage of policies that renew each year. It is the most important number in the sale, and buyers check it carrier by carrier.

The mix of business

Personal lines, commercial lines, and life and benefits are valued differently. Commercial accounts are larger, and also more concentrated.

Carrier appointments

Whether your contracts with carriers can pass to a buyer. With a captive agency, the carrier has to approve the buyer, and its rules shape the whole sale.

The full list, and who the buyers are: Selling an insurance agency in Texas.
