Korthase Flinn Acquires Traverse City Agency
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.
About KorthaseFlinn Insurance
KorthaseFlinn advisors ensure peace of mind by preparing and protecting clients from life’s uncertainties. Solutions include a broad range of personal and business insurance products, health & wellness insurance programs, and investment & retirement solutions. As an independent agency, KorthaseFlinn has spent the last 95 years building a legacy of trust and expertise while serving clients locally, regionally, and nationally. More information on the company can be found at their website: www.korthaseflinn.com
