Our Story

Insurance Shopping That Works for You

South Lake Agency was built on a simple belief: insurance shopping should work for the customer, not the carrier. As an independent brokerage, we represent you — not any single insurance company.

Our team of experienced insurance advisors serves families and businesses across Chanhassen, Excelsior, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Edina, Plymouth, Shorewood, Waconia, Shakopee, and the broader Twin Cities region. We've built deep relationships with more than 20 top-rated carriers — from Travelers and Chubb to Progressive and Nationwide.

Beyond the policies, we're invested in this community. From our partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Andrew Biscay's appointment to the Forbes Advisory Council, South Lake Agency is committed to giving back and raising the bar for what clients should expect from an insurance partner.

Common Questions

Everything You Want to Know

A captive agent only sells policies from one insurance company, so you only see that company's rates and products. As an independent broker, South Lake Agency works with 20+ carriers and shops the entire market on your behalf — which typically means better coverage and better rates.

Nothing. We waive all broker fees entirely. Our compensation comes from the carriers when you purchase a policy, not from you — so you get expert guidance, market-wide shopping, and unbiased advice at zero out-of-pocket cost.

We partner with many of the nation's top-rated insurers, including Travelers, The Hartford, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Safeco, Nationwide, Chubb, Progressive, AAA, Encompass, State Auto, Kemper, Westfield, and more.
