Say hi to Chico. Chico needs some training, mostly on how to walk on a leash. He is not fond of other dogs. At some point in his past he may have dealt with a heavy hand and sometimes cringes when approached. Once he trusts you he is very attentive, smart and eager to please. As you can see he is also very handsome. Chico will need to be an only pet and is probably too active for a home with young children.

Northern Michigan Insurance Firm Further Expands in Traverse City
KorthaseFlinn Insurance and Financial Services (www.korthaseflinn.com) announced today that it has acquired the Traverse City business of the Lake Michigan Insurance Agency (LMIA). The transaction marks the company’s fifth acquisition in four years and the second in the Traverse City market.
According to Randy Flinn, President of KorthaseFlinn, the decision to expand in this manner made perfect sense. “This was an opportunity to bring an additional 1,500 relationships into the KorthaseFlinn family, as well as Personal Insurance Advisor, Amy D’Archangel, who has been managing these accounts for LMIA for several years. Amy is an exceptional customer advocate and her Northern Michigan values and work ethic are consistent with those of the clients we serve and her new colleagues at KorthaseFlinn.”
The LMIA Acquisition represents the latest in a series of KorthaseFlinn investments in the Traverse City community. In 2019, the firm acquired the Tompkins Agency and moved into their new office at 502 Railroad Avenue. With this latest investment, KorthaseFlinn will serve over 2,000 area families and businesses from their Traverse City location. Click HERE for full press release.
