Sandpiper Residents: With the rising costs of Homeowners and Auto Insurances, also the ability of obtaining insurance to cover your home, this L&L is a MUST!
Lakeland-based Boley Insurance is a local, family, and Veteran owned small business and is located on South Florida Avenue. They offer a full line of insurance products, including auto, home, renters, motorcycle, boat, RV, jewelry, and umbrella policies. James Boley worked for GEICO Corporate for 25 years before opening the Local GEICO Office in 2020. His seven (7) Lakeland based agents have 100+ years of combined experience.
As your Local GEICO office, Boley Insurance offers the best of both worlds: the personalized service of a hometown agency, backed by the strength and stability of one of the largest and most trusted insurance brands in the nation. With GEICO’s financial strength and claim-paying reliability, they’re able to offer highly competitive rates and the confidence that your coverage will be there when you need it most.
A live, friendly agent always answers the phone. NO CALL CENTER! All of their agents work right here in Lakeland and understand the unique needs of Florida residents.
The focus of the Lunch and Learn will be on Homeowners and Auto insurance.
