Our Story
A Trusted, Local Insurance Agency
Founded in 2018, Bridges Insurance Agency is a family-owned local insurance agency committed to building lasting relationships and providing clarity and guidance for every client. Our team lives and works in Tallahassee, Florida, giving us firsthand insight into the challenges homeowners, drivers, and business owners face — especially in an ever-changing insurance market.
Founded with a Client-First Mission
Our founder, Rick Bridges, brought over a decade of experience in insurance and finance to create an agency focused on helping individuals, families, and businesses secure the right coverage at the right price — without the frustration or confusion that often comes with insurance.
Originally operating under the Farmers Insurance brand, Rick earned a reputation for hands-on service and strong client relationships. When Farmers exited the Florida market, many policyholders were left uncertain. Bridges Insurance Agency stepped in, helping every client find replacement coverage. That experience reinforced our long-term commitment to standing by clients — especially when the market becomes challenging.
Expanding Our Capabilities
Following our transition from a captive agency to a fully independent firm, we steadily expanded our carrier network to better serve our clients. Over time, we have added a wide range of top-rated insurance partners and continue building new relationships.
This intentional growth allows us to adapt as the Florida market changes while maintaining the personalized service that has defined our agency from the beginning. While we are a local insurance agency, our independence gives us access to Florida’s top-rated insurers — providing clients with options and flexibility often associated with much larger firms.
Rooted in Community, Focused on the Future
While we serve clients across Florida, Tallahassee remains our home. Our team lives here, raises families here, and supports the same local community as our clients.
From our earliest days to today, our focus has stayed the same: provide reliable guidance and stand by our clients for the long term. Markets may evolve, carriers may adjust guidelines, but our commitment to serving our community remains unchanged. By emphasizing personal relationships, timely communication, and trusted guidance, Bridges Insurance Agency has become a valued resource for clients throughout Tallahassee and surrounding communities.
